I have been dating someone for the past year, not a skydiver and for the most part she fully supports my jumping. We have come to an agreement and it all boils down to splitting time. So far it has worked out wonderfully!!!

I already checked the steering line length and they seem to be even. I just learned the merits of packing with a mat and tying the rings together. Unfortunately, it was the pack job right before I left, so I'll have to wait until the next time I get out there to test it out. Plus side of the Sillhouette, it is the most forgiving canopy I could ever imagine flying. Doesn't mash me when I miss judge and flair a bit too high. Thanks for the help.

Speaking from experience, I went through a Tandem Progression of 4 jumps before I got my own container. I think that doing the initial tandem jumps gets you out into the air without having the stress of dealing with any of the malfunctions that can occur. Personally, I watch people doing S/L and look back at the fact that most of my initial exits were not what is needed for a clean opening on static line. And with a 5 sec delay before your chute's opened for you, your arch needs to be good. Not much room for any margin of error in my opinion. I know for a lot of people it's a monetary issue, but if you can squeeze the extra money to do it the other way, I feel like you learn a lot more from the feedback of the instructors actually being in the air with you. Blues Skies all!!!!

Next time I'm out at the dz, I'll have to hang it up and check the lines. How many jumps do the spectra lines normally last? I bought the canopy used with about

Anybody out there have any experience with a PD-Sillhouette? I have been having some real soft openings, but they have been all majorly off heading. I talked to PD and they sent me a packing video, although the only one they had was for a Sabre. Just wanted to see what others thoughts were. Thanks and Blue Skies!!!!
