  14. id have to agree...both protracks and altis are reference devices. being a mechanical engineer, i know that nothing is fail safe. if things are getting bigger you should know that its time to pitch, regardless of what your instruments say. i bought my protrack about a month ago and i love it.

    we had a guy at this year that was jumping a 170 in container made for a 190-230 and he almost had a nasty horseshoe. if you are going to attempt this make sure that your closing loop is short enough to keep your pin in tight Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....

  19. I'd have to agree with bobsoutar...I once left mine a little loose while on student status and had to try to land with the cheststrap and alti glued to the bottom of my chin. It was uncomfortable and I couldnt tell my altitude....a scary thing for a student. Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....
  20. Chris, I was not really having trouble doing it the normal way, I was just looking around to see how others are packing. I thought about trying to do a psycho pack, just to see how it opened. Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....
  21. I have been trying to find some info on the Wolmari packing method. All the links in past threads havent been working. I was wondering if anyone had any links or info on this packing method. Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....
  22. I do have that second brake line. I havent ever really stowed it. The guys at the dz said I could if I wanted to, but didnt have to. Does it really make that much difference? Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....
  23. Yes, I do have pretty slow openings. I have always been a little leary of not rolling the nose because of the fear of getting slammed, but I guess its worth a shot. Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....
  24. im not aware of setting a second brake line. I have never seen that. what do i look for and how would i do it if i have that feature Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....
  25. I do a normal pro pack. Stow the brakes, do my line check, gather nose and shake the canopy out. I then tuck nose between my legs and pull slider over my shoulder. I count and collect all A, B, C, D, and brake lines, and center them. I then pull the nose out and roll the outside 4 cells towards the center the same number of rolls, leaving the center cell alone. I then push the nose gently into the center of the canopy. I then bring the slider down, make sure it is completely unstowed and quarter it. I next bring up the center cell and wrap it around both sides. I then roll it, usually about 10 times, making sure not to pull any lines around. I then set it all down carefully, s-fold it,cock pilot chute, and put it in the dbag. I stow lines using about 1.5 in stows. I single stow all locking stows using a long band in the middle and small bands on the rest of them. I leave about 18-20in unstowed. I then set the dbag behind the container and place my risers and close the tuck tabs. I next lift the dbag and push the excess line to the corners of the container and neatly fold the remaining line. I then close and fold pilot chute. Here's to the Breezes that blows through the Trezzez.....
