I pay $400 a year full coverage with progressive, I also have extra medical and liability. probably because I have had a motorcycle license for 15 years.

Opening riser covers for hop-n-pops
marks replied to LearningTOfly's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
think about what you just said and what you were replying to. hans is one of the top pilots in the world and you say he is the "exception" to the "rule", when most of the peeps on here use what the "top pilots" "do" to make "the rule". so with that said, is he the exception to the rule? what is the rule? where did you get it? and should I follow this rule? why? does you rig look cool with your flaps open? -
possible. but not sure. who knows where I will be going.
-
me either. but however you fly you can get good at it if you keep it consistant.
-
you will also get used to front riser pressure. A lot of people tend to actually like it better once they get used to it.

Opening riser covers for hop-n-pops
marks replied to LearningTOfly's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I do this on hop and pops simply because I'm jumping an ultra high performance canopy loaded heavily. it gives a cleaner low speed deployment. if one riser cover realeases before the other it could cause me to have a violently spinning malfunction. -
yes.. scores from each round would be nice.
-
why not have both? go to www.liquidskysports.com and get the two piece suit. you could wear just the top or just the pants or both. best of both worlds.
-
thank you I'm glad you see that. but the problems your having with the canopy is probably more you than it is the canopy. I say that because there is no way you have the ability to land that canopy correctly yet. thanks spaz... I need a translator.
-
yes a good canopy coach will tell you different. you have visibility loss with the possibility of blindness under a wing that is way to high peformance for someone with your jump numbers. if you knew better or had more experience you wouldn't be jumping that canopy nor would you stow your slider in the front.
-
get coaching from someone else then.
-
145 jumps. Batwing 116 (1.4)/ Vengeance 135 (1.1) and you stow your slider so you don't have any visibility. I don't see how your kidding, so I will just have to say your lack of experience is going to hurt or kill you. go get some coaching from someone, and make sure what your doing is ok before you get hurt.

don't blame it on that, blame it on that tuna boat your flying. I'd be flying an 87 too... If I was built like an 8 year old girl, just like you! that's just wrong dude, I deem you "tuna boat captain"!
-
call me, and I will talk with you about it.
-
don't blame it on that, blame it on that tuna boat your flying.

I believe that rule is there to keep people from stuffing lead in the rig. I would guess that if you were over the rig weight and your rig just was like that because of legitimate reasons it would be fine.
-
Kat. Nice job. get that zone acc up there.
-
2.47 in speed, nice Andy. but not fast enough.
-
what's in your pic stu? and why did she kick you in the head?
-
It is bullshit if you believe it is bullshit. it is real if you believe it is real. you create what you believe.

how is junior doing on my VX?
-
I used to have problems, but all is good, after they replaced it a year ago. the battery last a long long time now. I just replaced the first battery since i got it. it almost lasted a year.
-
thanks for what you do, we owe you a leg.
-
liquid sky suits have an enlongated elastic waist that tucks into the pants, it is awesome for when it gets warm outside. you wear the pants all day and take the jacket off after each jump. plus you can have an Ipod in the jacket, for the ride to altitude. and when you take the jacket off, the earplugs are routed through the jacket, plus the earplugs for your Ipod come with it.

what up sweetheart. talk to rob, you will need a regular rig with the ability to hook a belly mount reserve to it. you want this for an intentional cutaway?
