Thanks for the comments everybody :), The one thing I don't understand is why velcroless is more prone to a premature release?, Seems to me that velcro is a lot easier to release prematurely since it just peels off while the other system is stuck on two ends.
-
Which do you prefer?, Seems to me that the velcroless toggles require considerable more force to release and sometimes one releases before the other one putting me in a spin, anybody else with this problem?, never had that happen with velcro.

incidents/unsafe situations with non freefly friendly gear
miniFly replied to Monsterchute's topic in Safety and Training
I had a premature 2 jumps ago at around 8k with some rented student gear, even though I made sure that the pilot chute was secure enough, I guess it wasn't... Lesson learned:. don't freefly with student gear... I forgot to add that the premature was hard enough that it ripped the pilot chute along with the bag from the top of the canopy. -
Dotster all the way!!!

Man, the Sunset FF 8way pic kicks ass. Very inspiring... Nice

ah, edited

Colors suck and it doesn't fit like a glove. I seen the infinitys and they look pretty hot, way cheaper then the mirages and just as good for FF I think... I think I made my decision :)

lol
-
Which one would you pick? The mirage has 30 jumps and DOM is Sept 02 with full options, unisyn, etc...for the same price I could get a brand new Infinity with all options and sized to fit. I been doing some research and I really can't find any pros or cons with either container, only that a brand new mirage is $1495 +++ and I can't figure out why.

One of my favorites, Do whatever. Get a "yes" out of them. If you were drowning, and I threw you a life-jacket, would you take it? "Yes". Good, buy 200 shares, I won't let you down.

Hey thanks, Yeah, I'll be asking the instructors too and actually John LeBlanc who is going to be at Elsinore tonight. I was hoping that maybe somebody has gone through the same when purchasing the first rig and would have first hand experience :)

Hi, I want to demo a sabre 2 since I have found a great deal for my first rig/canopy at a decent price. So far only have 27 jumps and have used student gear, just jumped a rental PD210 3 times last week, on my first jump on the 210 I flared to high because I wasn't expecting the speed increase (a few scars to show for it), especially coming from jumping 260's student gear, my other 2 jumps where perfect standup landing and I seemed to have found the right amount of flare. Question is, do you think this would be a safe canopy for just 27 jumps?, My wingloading on it would be 1.13 assuming I have 25 pounds of gear, What I mean is just how forgiven would this canopy be? since I'm bound to make some beginer mistakes. Thanks for the help :)
-
Thank you very much for the advice, it would be cool if there was a website where you could just enter the serial number of the rig and find out the info. hint, hint
-
When purchasing used gear, How do you find out if the gear has been stolen if you have the serial number? Do companies keep a record of reports?
-
Not sure if this is the problem but I been noticing that since I don't look back anymore my linetwist problems have stopped, what I do now is count 1-2-3-4 not under canopy = problem Would this be a good approach?
-
Thanks dude, Yeah, I'll be packing ....
-
Finally got my A last monday!, I'm stoked

Sound Forge for the sound and Flash MX

I just got a proditter and a protrack but both of them are just audibles as far as i know you cannot put them on a wrist mount. Are most people getting the neptune to be used as a regular wrist mounted alti?
-

Hey A12, Actually I just got signed over to solos myself last weekend. My first solo jump made me nervous, I kept doing checks of 3's the whole way up over and over, then I jumped and didn't do anything, just stayed in a relaxed arch the whole way and for the first time my skydive felt like it took hours, I just chilled, looked around and took some deep breaths, I came down from that jump and went right up for another one but this time around I was practicing 360's backflips and tracking, much, much better... I still get anxiety, but it's interesting how the second you get out that door it just goes away as the adrenaline kicks in :)
