Newbie - Mastering a 270 before moving on.
mjosparky replied to Avikus's topic in Safety and Training
With all due respect you are wrong again. These are just a few of the things covered in the ISP program. Where did you get your training? Sparky Canopy control, landing approach, landing principles, more on the landing pattern, landing patterns for higher winds, downwind landings, rear riser control, high-wind landings, braked turns, approaches, and landings, maximum-performance canopy turns, front riser control My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -

Yes, and the reason they do that is so that if a student is killed on landing, they can gather up the body and sneak it out of there so that nobody will know that the drop zone was responsible for it. All drop zones do this. We'd get a bad reputation if we actually let the public witness how often we kill students. Sheesh, we ain't dumb! I call Bullshit...they do it so the blatant drug use and freaky sex that always goes on in a LZ is hidden from non-jumpers. Just imagine how long the lines would be at manifest (no, the other kind) if everybody KNEW what really goes on?! Sounds like the typical “entitlement generation” attitude, the rules don’t apply to me. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -

Speaking of universally know signals, what does it mean if you stick your tongue out? Sparky Arch, motherfucker! Speed this thing up. It's from old 10 way days. It means double grip me. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

If you don’t what it is you are talking about why bring it up? Sparky Direct Supervision means that a certificated rigger personally observes a non-certificated person packing a main parachute to the extent necessary to ensure that it is being done properly, and takes responsibility for that packing.

At least one of them can, and fly candy cane circles around you until landing dead center where ever the fuck he pleases. No doubt. It would be easy to fly "candy cane circles" around anyone who lands 5 min before they do. Ill add, I can also put my canopy wherever I want. It's not rocket surgery. No it's more like spotting 'science'... The stick is spotted for crowd presentation of Old Glory who tries to fly an angle for the spectators not to be turning around or looking into the sun yet still remain within the wind parameters...the spinney smokey guy has to access his position and quickly run to another spot while deploying the smoke that will allow for a non-stop 2500' downwind spin that will not interfere with the other jumpers patterns & end up in position for a quick base to final. . . . while ON final using both hands to release & set the hot smoke up for a clean-safe drop during the flare to land. You are constantly reading your drift, clearing airspace & 'spotting' while spinning down. It's not 'hard' to do...but it IS easy to do wrong. The REAL challenge is doing it at night with blinding flares on your feet and spinning down a candy-cane of fireworks...what could POSSIBLY go wrong?! Well shit, and all this time I was thinking it took some type of talent or skill. Sparky My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

They only really work well when the things that need cutting are under a good amount of tension. Also a good reason why I have trauma sheers... I have a hook knife that will cut through a Type VII riser like butter. But it seems to me things can just be moved aside, get down to it and when she’s happy replace thinks as you found them.

It seems to me that is something that should have been done by your cohorts in NZ before launching campaign of miss information on the net. All the information and documentation is readily available if you take the time to look for it. To say Airtec’s story doesn’t add up tells me you are only using information others provide for you.
