    Taking a terminal opeing on a smaller reserve might make for a real "No Shit" story. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Dave, The kind of jumps you should be doing are the fun ones. We often forget this is recreation. Have fun with it. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    QuoteRiggers: what type of gear will you not repack? I have never trusted non-diapered round canopies and would prefer that all rounds from the acid mesh era rot in some else's closet. Almost all of our fighter jets and most of the military air crew systems use a non-diapered round canopy and their qual tests are much more then TSO. I believe there were less then a dozen canopies found with acid mesh. But then again I still check every one I pack. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    During a demo you should not be over the crowd in freefall, and if you need to get rid of the bracket, you will need to get rid of it completly. I feel it is better to KISS. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Way to hang in there. I think plastic or anything stiff may cause a problem if it shifts before landing. There is a Co. in Oregon named AERO and the make a foam the is used in fighter plane seats, F-18, F-16 etc. I have worked with this foam and I think a butt pad of this would work great. If you pull your legs up you can come in like tandems do at some DZ's. I will try to find the address of the com. and send it. Good luck and blue skies.

    Oh Nooooooo! I'm not nearly old enough -- I saw it in an ancient history book. Yeah, that's the ticket Wendy W. Anyone who rides a Harley can be any age she wants! My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Wendy sounds like maybe she has jumped a "Stevens". The lanyard was made of 1" tubular. And yes the handle will hit you in the face. Michael My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    And you know, if you hadn't been a total smart ass in answering my valid concerns, this thread would have died a very quick and silent death.

    They were in competition for over two years with Irvin. They ended up buying Irvin. I was involved in the test program for Irvin. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
