WTF?

yo dude! im going to be spinnin the night away on the tables!... you will like the progressive tribal set im workin on! dance!!!! i say!

ya im looking forward to it also.. just bought a bunch of new records that i will be spinning there sat night.... should be an awsome time.....

i will punch you square between the eyes if you open my reserve flap, and i 1 dont know you or 2 dont know why your doing it...

in regards to the warrenty.. the warrenty would be with sony.. 90 days parts and labor and 1 year parts..... sony has really good cust service.. im sure your warrenty will be valid no matter where you are or where you buy it....

hahaha my thoughts exactly! trolley!... ive never thought of it that way but it is quite tru.

dont you think it might be the incurrency more than the glasses? it might be the glasses also... but being out of the sport for 12 years is a long itme.. anyways... welcome back!

well a crossbraced at 1.9 is going to go farther across the ground. it is going to dive at the ground a little more. it is going to FEEL bigger than a 1.9 wingloading...(this depends on who you talk to) but ive found it to be somwhat tru. also it will seem to slice through turbulance a little bettter than a non crossbraced. also they seem to have a little to a lot more shutdown power at the end of the surf.... i think you should stick with 1.8 or less... and since that is the case then you should stick to a non crossbraced canopy... if you going to go higher than 1.8 then i would get a crossbraced... but then again... thats me..... but me wouldnt go above 1.8 with the skill leval that you have...

call him chuckie if your gunna use the name... anyways.. i think you will get better performance out of a crossfire 2 @ 1.75-1.8 ithink your wasin your money going any higher than that.... when i went up from 1.8 i went to 2.0 onto a crossbraced... it was an easy transition and i was ready for it..... i think if you spend one more year in that wing loading area..... 1.8 max... you will be a better pilot for it the following year when your ready to go to 2.0..... you say your not aggressive canopy pilot..... then why do you want the high wing loading? im suspecting you are a agressive pilot who is still working on your skill before you get too aggressive..... if that is the case then stick with the max of 1.8 on a crossfire 2.. trust me... that canopy can swoop at that wing loading.. then spen about 1 year with it... 300-500 jumps...... then goto a crossbraced at 2.0.... if you do it that way you will be amazed how easy the transition is and you will also be impressed at what that crossbraced at 2.0 can do compared to the crossfire at 1.8... but you will be ready for it then.,.... hope this helps any... mark

how many jumps do you have now and how many jumps do you have at the 1.7-1.8 wingloading and what type of canopy was it?

in my opinion if your going to load a canopy at over 1.8 you should go with a crossbraced canopy... why do you have to load a crossbraced at 2.2? i load mine a 2.0 flies very well at that wing loading.... it also responds well to some added extra weight to get my loading up a little higher... if you not ready to load at 2.0 on a crossbraced then your not ready to do that on any canopy. 1.8 is a good wingloading for a crossfire. i got about 600-700 jumps on a crossfire at that loading.. and then going to a crossbraced a 2.0 was very very easy...

ok maybee im weird but i remember my first solo being boring... i was like... well ok im falling.... now what? there wasnt anyone there! i was bored...... i dont know why

if your not ready to load a crossbraced at 2.0 your not ready to load a crossfire at 2.0

i havent practiced carves much but i can do aprox 90 deg. ive seen a freind of mine consistantly do 180... geese that looks scary.. well anyways ive found the most of my problem ive had was gettingg the balls to do it.... well since your trying and wiping out im guessing you got those.. ive never really paid much attention to WHAT i was doing when i did it but i will try to explain it start the carve to the point where your swung out from the canopy then pull the other toggle down just a bit to create lift... since your sidwards the lift will result in a turn... when your turn has reached the desired deg then pull both toggles more to create more lift then finish with more toggle input on the toggle opposite of your carve to put you back under the canopy.. im not very good at putting things into words so i hope you can understand what im getting at... hopefully somone else has some input...

just dont try to learn both at the same time... that is the point im trying to get across

suggest you work on either rear riser first or the 90 first... i suggest you learn th 90 first... dont try to learn both at the same time...

the pad that came with the stroboframe has been enough for me.. iv got about 6-700 camera jumps with the stroboframe and only alligned it when i first got it... havent touched it since........ also i only use the stoboframe.. no other strap... never had a problem

lmao.... what?

huh? lol!

send it back.. or better yet goto a boogie where alti bob is going to be at and he will fix it for you.... alti-2 has an awsome cust service...

i think the WFFC is the only party that i got to take a break from for 12 hours.....geese.. 10 days takes its tole on you......
