hehehe......ok TSL dates are off the list, come to think of it I can't actually think of anyone who does TSL and is on DZ.com.
-
no that is a different trip, we are going on the chick trip to the east coast, and the DZ.com trip to eloy. How many SW vouchers can you score us.

Hey I was thinking of mikey and paula, and well I want pookie bear to come with. geesh try and be politically correct.....ok in that case I'll definately plan it for the weekend of a TSL meet.
-
On that same note, I have a rig with a small harness with a 143 reserve. Not sure if it will have a main for it by then, but it will hold upto a 150 main, if someone needs to borrow it.
-
hmmm.....looks like this will take a little work on figuring out which weekend doesn't interfere with TSL and Cali Skydiving league, or the texas state record and that kind of stuff....
-
So slappie when the hell are you going to get a rig. Cause I'm not doing eloy in August!!!!
-
Definately hats off to the pilot for getting everyone on the ground safe and sound.
-
ok show of hand for eloy.......
-
Heck between texas and Cali we have enough qualified people for a 20-way.....everyone want to meet and Eloy??? Or how about we build a formation that looks like the letters DZ. Have rig will travel. btw....when I said qualified, I meant to be on a 20 way....

Ice packs aspirin/ibuprofen/Motrin (a few different kinds cause some people are allergic to certain ones.) Ace bandage type stuff (stuff comes in handy for a ton of different things). triple antibiotic ointment or spray

Ummm....both canopies are PDs a 113 in a MXS and a 106 in a MZS and where I was getting how it would fit in the container was off of Mirage's web site.

0:0:0 Stupid bunkroom with other people, stupid cold, stupid snow, stupid getting drunk by 2 and passing out by 7. I still have a cooler full of Corona, party at my house......

What everyone says is right, get a reserve that is comfortable to land 1st off. On the terms of how comfortable the reserve is on your back depends on how well the harness fits. I have an MXS with a PD-113R which according to the website is a "tight" fit. Ask my rigger he will agree it is a tight fit. To save myself a little pain in the back I got reserve slinks with my reserve instead of the metal links. When I first got my Mirage my harness didn't fit right, the yoke/backpad was too short, and the reserve hurt like heck, after I sent it back to Mirage and they adjusted some stuff on it, I can't feel the reserve at all anymore. So I'd say get the size reserve that you are comfortable with to land, and as long as the harness is the right size it shouldn't matter. As a side note my friend who also has a reserve that is marked as tight on the webpage was worried about the same thing and opted to order the deluxe backpad to make sure it was comfortable. Kelli

well since you have a nice opening canopy my advice would be as long as you keep the lines strait and the slider up, it doesn't matter what it looks like going in the bag, it is still going to come out. I trash pack mine, meaning I only clear the brake lines and stabilizers, wrap the tail around and cuss it out as I put it in the bag. Beautiful openings everytime.

Shit I wish I would have scanned in the pic from Ken the pilots last day at Skydive Houston. Lets just say britney was proud of her catch of the day, actually that was the same day a certain someone decided to play with creepers and bungie.
-
