why are you assuming perfect line lengths and clean air? Those two reasons very well may be the culprit. Its skydiving man, its not rocket science --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

I think a lineover on your reserve is enough reason to carry one!!! Seriously, its only weighs next to nothing, have it there just in case... --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

thats what I was thinking. Much like an oblong or mishaped pilot chute will oscillate a out of line, defected canopy would probably act funky now and again. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

I'm with jessica on this one, just try a jump and see how it goes? Good luck, buddy.

nice swoopy...

I'm reminded just how fucking incredible Jean's low wingsuit jump was in light of the latest english channel huzzah bullshit. This guy is definitely pushing the envelope, and he isnt using a glider strapped to his back either. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

[QUOTE]I'm actually sort of surprised that the Office of Homeland Security and the Transportation Safety Administration hasn't been more involved. I don't want to give anyone any ideas, but gosh, think of what a terrorist could do.[/QUOTE] what? Set afire the forest and then parachute away? Not likely. Maybe if they were jumping a B this could of been viewed as a front against society, etc. but this was not the case in this instance. They were out in the woods enjoying their sport. Just sounds like more bureaucratic bullshit to me... --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

by modifying the air flow of course!!! --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

Any body hear when the Neptune's are going to ship

imo they should of made sure they had a solid product before the orders were made. But maybe thats just not how things work in the skydiving industry --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... -
email or PM me your address and I can send you the CD rom I get from "sid" on pro packing. 20 video clips/80 high res pics, etc. Pretty good, it helped me a lot beginning to learn how to PRO pack. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

hey good question! I've wondered this for awhile now when I saw the two peice suits. I'm curious if you hook them together, I know I've seen people with two peice suits at the DZ I've never studied them though... Not to hijack your thread but: can you retrofit a pair of regular freefly pants to use with a camera wing jacket? (of course this is a moot point if theyre individual of eachother and not hooked together with clips or something...) --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

What about the two out scenario where you want the two canopies to be as congruent as possible? I think a 175 reserve and a 75 main would act a little more funkier than a 113 reserve and a 75 main? Not to mention a lot of people dont have a cypres so an unconscious landing is pretty doubtful (I guess unless the reserve opening knocked you out...), so they might as well load it a little so they can at least get a decent swoop out of it when/if they use it... --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

hi newbie, I am also a newbie, but I think a "stick" of jumpers means a group of jumpers. So I guess that statement means no awareness of sliding under another group of jumpers on the same load (i.e. maybe you just slid under that 4 way, etc). Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it might originally be a military term? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

[/QUOTE]Many people lose parachutes at the tops of tall trees[/QUOTE] Again, my point, Jimbo. Why won't a regular climbing harness work? He mentioned a comfort issue, so I am inclined to think that it is for something else other than just retrieving the odd parachute once every month or so... It's just a hunch, but I guess he has something else planned. [QUOTE]that's certainly related to skydiving, at least I think it is. [/QUOTE] I don't care whether it is or is not related to skydiving, I don't moderate this board. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

I suggest you search around and try to find people whose speciality (read job) is climbing around trimming trees. These guys do some amazing work WAY high up in trees, and often employ harnesses, shoe spikes, etc. What do you need it for? Why won't a regular climbing harness work? PM me if this thread gets locked, i'm curious... --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

here are pics of my dogs. I'm bored and playing around with my brother's digital camera... The golden is the best dog on the entire planet, I dare you to find a dog whose mission in life is to get attention/love from her master as much as that one! Hehe, its all good, blue skies!

lol yeah you were the first one to respond to the post. Can you tell I'm a sharp one? Blue skies... --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

I dont jump camera, so this is not from personal experience. But it sounds like these guys are having success with this product.
