  2. Not bladder cancer, but did have one kidney removed a little over 4 years ago. Check ups have been clean so far. Hang in there and know you are not in this alone. As has been said before, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sparky PS: I didn't leave early, everyone else left late. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  3. Ron, With some people you could post about how beautiful the blue sky is and they will try to piss on your parade. It must be something in their genes. Way to go on your retirement fund. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  4. I used to race desert bikes in the California desert. I not only know who Hank Asciutto is, I consider him one of my best friends. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  5. Now this sound like useful information! Do you mean that this type of bag doesn't cause line twist or off-heading openings, or that it has no affect (either way) on the probability of these? Thanks, S49 I think this type of bag helps prevent line twists and off heading openings. With stows you get bag whip and the stows release and I feel this whip helps contribute to deployment problems. jmo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  6. I have made over 500 jumps on a bag with just two locking stows, the rest of the lines are stowed in a pouch much like a reserve bag. I have used both ZP and F-111 type PC's. I have found that this type of bag does not affect line twists or heading. There is no such thing as line dump unless the locking stows are dumped. In that case you have bag strip and not line dump. jmo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  9. It is never to early, if you are interested. As Rigging65 posted, it takes time to acquire the skills and knowledge, the more time the better your skills will become and the more knowledge you will have. You will never learn it all, but can continue to learn as long as you look and listen. It can be enjoyable and rewarding. I wish you luck and success.

  11. You should put a second set of rings on the harness. You have a good chance of both risers hanging up if hooked to just one ring. jmo Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  14. JP, You are just lucky I get bored easy. Let me know when you plan on trying it. I gotta see this. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  15. You are right, it was a 21', inflated diameter about 17.5', and the Big Man was 24'. It wasn't a "frap rap" but a diaper that was used to pack both canopies. I have several hundred jumps on both and when packed with a Piglet R-1 reserve you had a rig that weighed about 18 pounds. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  17. I have heard the same thing for years now. Haven't seen anything to prove it or disprove it. I want my free bag and reserve PC to be a bright color so I can find it. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

  20. You can get a hackey handle from Mandy's Hacks and have a local rigger install it. jjjjmj@totcon.com Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
  21. Why would the color of your reserve be an issue to anyone. When you go to your reserve, you are no longer sports parachuting, you are trying to save your life and color will not help at all. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
