nuff said. that was the ride of my life, i would love to have it again.

Yes but... I have more than 12 years of paragliding and more than 120 hours of airtime on competition class paragliders. (truly elliptical X-braced wing with more than 50 cells) This experience helps a lot. (And I just got the x-fire several jumps ago, Jumped 135-stiletto about 100 jumps before that) My case is a bad example, don’t try it at home you ever try to deploy a wing with that high of an aspect ratio?

i flew a blade 58 loaded at 3.2 but i cant compare it to any other blade. i can say this though, it is a rock solid canopy, and i had no fear whatsoever flying and landing that canopy. even though it isnt crossbraced. i think because it has a lower aspect ratio. but not sure, ask beezy. but i pulled the strings and it was solid to me.

let me ask, do you have children Mr. Jeff Golden? ..................... thats what they are telling you. ya, what he said. whatever. i will attempt to make this shorter for you. your working for theives. take the time to read this entire thread, take note of all the complaints then come back here and tell me how they arenot justified. i dare you. yoou havent seen the bad times yet. go ahead and get in touch with me, and i will give you FIRST hand knowledge, not just the stuff you have observed, and the stuff they have told you. do me a favor, call each and everyone of these vendors, that are left, and tell them to keep thinking that. as long as they do they are blind. thats good for you isnt it? really? or are they scared we wont send them buisness anymore? im sure every dropzone who uses you is "praising" you. step off your stool! your not god, and neither is 1800skyride. once you have learned the truth,and they find out about it, you will be promptly fired. Feel free to private message me here. Thank you so much for your time. Sincerely, Mark Shimell

nada, zilch. a wasted jump ticket?

http://skydiveradio.com/shows.htm you design parachutes, yet you can't make a clicky? j/k

this is also true for leaning backwards, you have the entire backpad of the harness to "feel". when i come out of my turn and am diving, i lean all the way back into the backpad, which helps to bring my legs up higher to reduce drag, then as i transfer from rears i lean way way forward, why? im not sure, but like i said early on in this thread, it makes you "feel" like you go farther because your head is farther forward.

it didn't, i thinnk that is the point.

lets assume you were under canopy at 3000 ft, as soon as you were done with 1-4 you would be at 800 ft or less. assuming you didn't run into anyone in the process because you were paying so much attention in to learning to fly this canopy you probably are now landing off at this point... did you kill yourself? i hope not.

it doesnt matter, "quote this cary!!!!" "I'm USPA and I do not want you in MY org.!!!!" want me to tell that to a judge cary? QUOTE ME!!!! ohh, and P.S. USPA!!! I want all the judgmental peeps out also!!!!

i like to talk, i train alone. it drives eric crazy!

havent seen it, buti like gravity pilots also.

Now that suprises me. Hmmm.... next met or talked to anyone involved with SkyRide directly...... hmmmmm.... that is why it doesnt surprise me.

out of the blue!

good, but old skool, could be better.

i like it.

can someone explain this to me in english?

that would be called freestyle. c'mon chris, don't disclaimer yourself. be yourself tell us how you really feel!

let us know how you like the JVX! rm he's going to love it.

because there isnt enough peeps to do that.

that IS my job fool! not others students though, unless they are a coach. and they wonder why I won't visit. no we dont. it has never crossed our mind.

i spoke to eric about this artistic thing. he stated that they like to get a good lead in the early rounds so they can slow it down later in the comps and make it "look" pretty. you should see some of the vids at atlanta freeflight. they have gotten better since then. not uncommon to get 14 points in 30 seconds!

check out this video. it is long, so be patient. and check out other vids at, atlanta freeflight.

check out this video, it is a long download but a good one. and check out other vids at, atlanta freeflight.
