    I completely disagree with that blanket statement, as a teacher and a sister. Sometimes that happens, sometimes it doesn't. Nature vs. Nurture. peace lew Point taken. But it's a good start.

    Thanks Conway Here to report nothing but good openings since the slammer.

    Not entirely sure but my guess is 825. Appreciate everyone's input. Looking back now immediately after the opening I'm almost positive it was the slider positioning. You can be sure I'll be reeal careful about that from now on.

    OK...I'm gonna go with the rarefied air molecules and the blue moon theory. But I'm thinking it was slider placement. Just checking to see if this a chronic problem or again, a blue moon phenomenon.

    This is most likely a rehash but indulge me for a moment. I had the snot slapped out of me by a Sabre 2 170, loaded at 1.3. I came out of a sit at 5k and tracked away got big and opened at 3k with insta- canopy. I have been flying a Hornet 190 and have been spanked once or twice due to sloppy packing, but I have never experienced an opening like this. The first 5 jumps on this canopy were perfect. Nice opening, great fun to fly and then wham!!! What am I missing? Personally I suspect a bad pack, but I am open to constructive input. I am reasonably confident of my body position and speed but hey...I'm listening.

    Eh...you get used to them after awhile. Just don't get to close, cause they have a rather nasty disposition. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock

    The Alouette 2 from Cross Keys made the circuitall the way to south Texas last year. The pilot is incredible. He'll show you how to exit. Step out on the skid, face the pilot and take the "Nestea plunge". Chopper jumps are just badass L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
