  1. And just what is the job of riser covers? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  3. You are going at it backwards. Figure out what canopies you want and buy a container to fit. You should be on a main canopy around the 190 sq. ft. range. But that’s just my opinion. Whatever you buy it’s not a good deal if it is the wrong gear. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  4. It’s like everything else. You have to walk before you crawl. They are going to have to start small and gain the experience to go big. Tunnel time is one thing and free fall time is another. Many of the skills learned in the tunnel can be transferred to free fall but they can’t replace experience. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  7. What he said. Get some coaching, take a canopy class. Make every jump an accuracy jump. Do not allow yourself to become cargo. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Hey Squeak, Looks like a great trip. Don't use it all up.....save some for the rest of us. Stay safe my friend. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  9. This is why they are called man's best friend. And they ask nothing in return.
  10. Try looking at this site. The Startrac series. I have a couple thousand on their Sharpchuter 245. In fact that is my canopy in the picture. Sparky http://www.flightconceptsint.com/classic/7-cell-classic My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  11. Grasshopper or Cindy? I think it's Cyndi. I think it's great. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  13. You don’t think there is any chance he might be someone’s pet do you? Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  14. And if you don't ask the answer is always no. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  15. You've seen one set you've seen them all. Every set is new, different and unique. A sight to behold. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  16. A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam.. 'Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!' A smart-ass student in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, 'What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?' The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, 'Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.' A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, 'Do these turkeys get any bigger?' The stock boy replied, 'No ma'am, they're dead.' Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  17. Looking through that site a bit…..felt like a cotton ball on an asphalt runway. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  18. It is easier to build a new suit than it is to repair or make mods. to one. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  19. I'd consider it, off a bridge or something I could track away from for a few seconds so I don't have to worry about an off heading opening slamming me into a cliff face. Also probably not for several hundred more jumps. I'll go out of a balloon from 5 or 6 grand sooner, though. That looks like fun. There are no cliff faces to hit with a bridge. That’s why they call it a bridge. Depending on the height of the launch site you may not have a “few” seconds to track. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  20. And I bet it only took about 15 minutes for you to pack 10 canopies. You gotta love that Red Bull jolt. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
