    He talking about 1) the streamer that solved itself eventually and 2) the diving line twist that was caused by the streamer that he had to put in work to get out of.

    USPA should still have your license number on file so you at least have proof of the first 25. Don’t know what you can do about the other 50

    Once you gain full control, flying with a strong arch is not absolutely necessary as long as you can stay stable. I did had a lot more typed out about this but I don’t want to overload you with information. Your instructors have much more experience than I and should be able to guide you in the right direction.

    Most tunnels will teach you to fly flat to create lift so they can keep the airspeed lower and safer in the tunnel. Your AFF instructors will likely want you to fly with a strong arch to help with stability. I would suggest the Jumping so you at least learn it the way you’re instructor want to learn first. After a few jumps you can find out what skills you need to work on and jump more or go to the tunnel.

    I assume you know how to recognize the A lines since it’s not mentioned here. If you follow the seams that the line is attached to, you can go from A-b, b-c, c-d. Another thing that helps if you have it on your shoulder is when you look down on the slider the a & b lines go through the two grommets closest to your body while the c, d, and steering lines go through the other two. (This is assuming you already set the brakes, checked line continuity, found the nose and have it tucked between your legs at this point) as mentioned above it is best to have a rigger around to watch over you while you practice.

    Aerodyne has options for wingsuit mod and long rig on their Icon V

    All death is certain. I would rather have fun the way I want to between now and then. Let them talk all they want. Certain people are just easier to cut out though if they bother you enough. No need to hang out with people that insult you without knowing or even trying to learn the subject. Even just a little bit, some people need to put down others just to feel elevated and I don’t have time for those people in my life. On the plus side you’ll have more time to hang with your new sky friends. I could be completely wrong and there is something seriously wrong with us though. I mean we are jumping out of a plane. All the other voices in my head don’t seem to think there is anything wrong with it.

    Weak insult at best (I know the context in which it was said) I don’t care to say much more as it’ll bring up said person in the other thread. First impression can be a bitch sometimes.

    Only thing I can think of is the 119 crossfire packing larger than the 120 max zp main size specified by the sizing chart. Even so I would try a new pilot chute because overcoming 32lbs of pull force should be an easy task and it sounds like it is waiting until almost terminal to lift off. I replaced mine recently due to a similar situation and no longer have the problem. Edit: thing I would consider are pilot chute size, kill line length, porosity of the pilot chute

    my toggle stows are tight and it has a fold at the bottom similar to the top that stows in a similar fashion. I’ll take a few pictures when I get home from work so you’ll see what I mean. Only time I had one unstow on me was my fault (didn’t pull cats eye through little ring) Nothing eventful happened and I now take another moment to check and make sure it’s right before I continue to pack.

    Is it possible to put in a wait time between posts to slow down spammers. All the post they put up are within 2 minutes of each other. Maybe just have that on new accounts and allow the mods to lift the restriction when it’s obvious their not a spammer Edit: it appears I missed the drop down menu with suggestions and feedback in it. If a mod can move this for me it’ll be appreciated.

    Scrisc.com has a helmet, googles, and altimeter bundle. I bought that when I first started and added an audible
  13. husslr187
    I’ll agree with you there. There’s no set limit from the manufacturer on the pdr but there is limits set on AADs. Why anyone would want one that’s past due in their rig is beyond me. It’s your absolute last chance when all else failed. Yeah sure it probably would work a little longer just fine but I want my last chance to work as best as it can. Why bother with having it in the rig otherwise
  14. husslr187
    Neither. Stupid jumper, lawyers, judge, jury, and the press that covers it all put enough stupid together and we get court cases that go the wrong way. if you’re willing to put your certification against that, good for you. I don’t think I would take a chance in a society where it’s fashionable to be a victim just to get likes on Facebook.
  15. husslr187
    Never underestimate the power of stupid. Oh well your certification

    Every rigger I talked to wouldn’t pack a reserve if the aad was going to expire before the next repack. EDIT: they will pack without them in the container though
  17. husslr187
    Was this made known to them? I’m sure they would want to know that one of their riggers screwed up a reserve. That being said if I was to buy a brand new rig, I would prefer it to be shipped unassembled so I can see it all with my rigger.

    I have that exact camera. I’m running a scandisk ultra 64 gb and it works just fine

    Any specific insurance requirements or does the USPA insurance cover it? Is there any medical test that has to be done before jumping there? I’m weighing the options on if I should go sometime in the summer.

    I have an exit weight of 200 and my first canopy was a sabre1 170 with a pocket slider. I probably put 120 jumps on it and I’m now on a sabre2 170 which I jumped about 80 or so times with it. The sabre1 flew very similar to my pdr176 reserve except it didn’t sink as much. ( found that out last year) the sabre2 is definitely much sportier and aggressive in all aspects but it has a much softer opening. Thats my experience so far. YMMV

    Damn. I made quite a few jumps with him last year at Delmarva. He had no problems allowing newer jumpers in his group. Fly free my friend.

    I preferred the old style on my phone. Yes the print was tiny but I could read it all and zoom in if I needed to click on something exactly right. I liked the larger amount of info in a smaller size to skim over quickly and decide what to read. I’ll give it time though, their still working on it and maybe there’s a few things I haven’t found yet to make things easier we’ll see

    In classified the text from the previous ad runs into the next one 5:30 pm EST 1-18-19 appears correctly if I turn the phone sideways screenshot attached

    It’s under skydiving subforum as it always has been, everything is in a different order now though so you may have scrolled right past it

    Is there a way to exit mobile view? Most other sites I visit have that option but here even requesting desktop version does nothing
