    ....interestingly enough, somewhere around 50 jumps, i was breaking in my canopy/container system and i remember maybe 2x i threw out and there was a brief delay before the bag extracted the container. how many jumps did you have on the equipment? i haven't had the problem in a long time and i've always packed the same every time but.... ....the other guy said it right.....it's a serious problem waiting to happen. i still ponder it often....unless anyone has a solution?

    ummm, if we're talking student training....despite the costs....there is no substitute for wind tunnel flying. i payed 100 bucks or so for the wind tunnel and pigeon forge TN and i blazed through AFF in 7 jumps. it's difficult to balance on the wind tunnel wind at first but if you have a "coach" there, you will learn alot. blue ones!!!!

    has anyone ever cocked their pilot chute and double checked their equipment and still had a pilot chute in tow? "i know nothing" but.... ever since i was a student, i was taught to cut-a-way and pull my reserve so that's what i would do. being a high speed and cooking through 1500' would speed up my actions appropriately. blue ones!!!!

    i can relate dude....stuck toggles down to 1800' and was just about to chop and cleared it. sometimes i wonder if i would have hung onto that bad canopy....still gives me nightmares (and i mean after 2 years now). thanks for the post and the advice. glad we're still here to jump safe

    exits have got to be the best part....when i freefly i end up doing some wild ass summersault out the door and get stable into a sit or something....PURE FUN!!! still, the next favorite part for me is a stable open canopy above 2,000'. blue ones!

    Right on bro....Enjoy. Remember the skydiver's learning curve. It spikes up to vertical....then OUCH....then it dives and you take a break....then it gradually climbs. Take you time....trust me.

    Hi, I'm a D licensed skydiver with 205 jumps. All are on a PD Spectre 150. I'd like a canopy with a little more zip on landing to nail out some nice performance and surfs. Is a Stilleto at bad idea? How are the opennings? Tell me your story; what do you all think? Thanks "dude, where's my main?"
