You know, I will rave about the Safire 2 until the cows come home. I love the canopy, i love everything about it. However I jumped a demo one 3 times and each three times i had the hardest opennings i had ever imagined. People talk about hard opennings but i never knew they could be that hard. They were so hard i thought the packer was playing a joke on me by leaving the slider up. My other experience with hundreds of jumps on numerous safire 2's have been the best opennings ever. I would not like to say that this incident has been caused by the pilot but maybe to check they should have these pilots sent back and inspected? No matter what products you buy in life every brand always has a lemon or two in its time. MY last car was the biggest lemon ever. It happens. I know for a fact that it is not a widespread problem, My delaings with Aerodyne back this up but it would not hurt to be sure and have aerodyne check the canopies. I dont think anyone can say it is the canopies fault until the manufacturer has a look over it and that would be the safe thing to do. I am also certain that if it is a chance it could be the canopies fault that Aerodyne would want to inspect it before eit happens to someone else if it is the fault of the canopy. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I have sold 20+ pilots this year and keep in constant touch with my customers. I have not heard of this at all. Last year I had one complaint about a bit of a turn on the pilot but that was fixed very fast. Out of curiosity, were the 2 pilots you mention manufacturered around the same time or is their a big time scale difference? I know this is not an answer but it would be interesting to know. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

my man over here says he has one random pair. they are black with grey lenses. other than that he said he could try really hard to find some in the states but I don't really want to put him out like that as he owes me no favours. you want black with grey lenses? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I am actually organizing something for Gatorz Australia at the moment. I will ask him if he can sort something out. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

To do a tandem free fall for at least 50 seconds you will need to find a tandem operation that does its tandem jumps from over 14,000 feet. From 14,000 feet you will only freefall for about 48 seconds. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Yeah i have done everything and can not figure this out. not even computer shops can help me. I have no spdif on my motherboard .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Just got a new graphics card. A Gainward 9600gt. It has HDMI and DVI output. However it also runs the audio through HDMI but you need to plug the audio into the 2 pin plug on the card. Does anyone know where i plug the other end of this plug in on my Motherboard? What the plug should look like? A photo would be the ultimate reference but if someone could even just explain it to me would be excellent. Thanks. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Google Analytics is an excellent tool. I dont blame Sangiro for using it. It serves a massive purpose and is only fair he has it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

This show has seriously kicked it up a few gears very suddenly. OR maybe it is just that i dont have any spoilers and have no idea what is going to happen. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

As it is here but that does not mean X-RAY. does it in the states. Hip dysplasia can not always be dedected so young without an xray. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

If you do go to a shelter make sure you actually get xrays on their hips done. I learnt my lesson. I have possibly $20,000 that nedds to be sent ont them and that is not including the $200 each week for sedation and physio plus meds while waiting. It is worth paying for the xrays just to make sure. I know this sounds extreme but we are spending $4800 on one leg plus $200 a week on physio and sedation, then we will consider the other legs of both dogs. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

No Problem. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

IS it? I dont know. Hence my question! .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

LAst week i was told a safire 2 is a waiting time of 24 weeks. Fantastic canopy though. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I have looked on the first couple of pages and can not find any mention so here goes.... UKSkydiver.co.uk is hosting their second boogie. The plane line up is coming along nicely and nobody parties like UK skydivers. (dont know if that is a good thing or a bad thing). I feel mentioning the contributors to the boogie and their links on this site may be against the rules so I will refrain from that. To date they have already sold around 100 registrations, Expectations should be about 300 (huge for the UK) but there is alot of people working behind the scenes to attract many more people than that. The Uk has some fantastic boogies but with the huge membership numbers of UKS.co.uk this may become the annual boogie to remember. So far, UKSkydiver has secured giveaways galore that include.. 50% off Matter suits, Matter Tshirts, Groudrush clothing, Wings clothing, Optimas, Custom made canopy, Gatorz Eyewear and clothing, Lots of consumables, Perris Jet jump ticket, LandB clothing, Bird-man merchandise and we still have 3 months left to work on giveaways. The Helicopter has been confirmed. For more information, there is a whole thread on the boogie at http://www.ukskydiver.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=98 Maybe for those of you from the USA who have not been to Europe should plan on coming this Summer. Around the same time is the German AN-72? Boogie and the mass boogie in France. I am sure there will be many UK skydivers with a spare couch for our international 5th cousins There will be awesome level of flying at this Boogie and there will also be a massive turnout from the skydiving uni clubs across the UK. Not only will the days be a time to remeber but the nights, well I am not sure many USA jumpers would have seen nights as good as these at a dropzone before. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Thanks for listening to the concerns. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Thank you. Does not have the same great feeling i thought this site use to have. (I always compared other sites to this one) But will get use to it and these settings you have added after listening to everyone is very appreciated. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

No it was not that obvious to me. that is why i asked the question as I would like to learn more about certain areas of gear. Thank you. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I am not a rigger but i am curious as to know how one could tell if it needs a reline just fromt he information you have provided in this thread. I am not trying to be funny either, just interested to know. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Is Orange not also a colour that hunters wear because of the visibility (i know deers cant see it as well) but also, they use it for road cones, road works, trucking vests etc. So, maybe studies have been done that show the eye is most responsive to neon orange? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

Neon Yellow. IF you think about it thought i think black would really stand out in the sky. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

NO problems mate. I had to ask. The way it came across to me made me think those questions needed to be asked. It came across instantly as though there is all the sudden bad blood between you and Oregan. I understand now you have replied to those questions that it is not that way. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

I must say reading these two posts sounds like they have done something to piss you two right off. Just the other day you were saying "as i am deeply involved with Ouragan ", 20 odd days later you letting us know that these 'DEEP' ties are now 'not involved in anyway, at all.' So you going to tell us why the dramatic turn around? May I ask why this is an 'important notice' to the skydiving community? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

My point exactly. There is no purpose or reason to charge people to post on this website. It is not a porn site, it is a site where we all post answers to each others threads. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
