  1. Yeah but I'd be afraid of some dick bitching about the use of a different fabric
  2. I recall seeing a photo sequence not this but cannot find it anywhere.. Sometime in the 60's or maybe a little later there was a double fatality .It involved 2 jumpers having simultaneous cutaways and one jumper ended up going thru the others reserve..anyone remember who and where it happened?
  3. I haven't been to a dz in a few years but still keep in touch with the sport / equipment etc.... My question is....Are dz's being affected by the economy rite now?
  4. I have a need for 1 yard of Strong LoPo fabric in white... I have contacted Paradigm several times..no response..any thoughts?or other sources? Thank s in advance
  5. I need a place to buy a roll of F111 TYPE fabric..about 80 yards color does not matter
  6. This debate reminds me of the old Miller Lite commercials...."Tastes great"......"Less filling "..
  7. We had a guy at Ripcord Para Center who resembled the drawing of DB Cooper.. Even smoked Raleigh cigarettes. No one ever investigated him
  8. I need 1 yard of pink F111 type fabric (exact a chute I believe is what para gear calls it).I can't find any. Let me know if anyone has it.I will buy it from you.thanks
  9. Been trying to access the Trimsetter websiter but it seems to be down...
  10. Steve Snyder said that cross bracing violated his patent on "v " rib design
  11. Where can I buy a monkey fist handle...themonkeyfist.com website appears to be down for maintenance... Any other sellers?
  12. Can someone post a link to the packing instructions for putting round reserve into a javelin?
  13. The Javelin canopy compatibility chart ...are this figures for square footage of canopy or bulk in cubic inches??
  14. Para Flite use to include a section on turbulence in their manuals.
  15. Was the Javelin ever approved for round reserves? Just curious
  16. Just wondering how popular this style of kill line bridle is.I find it harder to calibrate (in production) than the older Cazer style bridle.It certainly seems to be a much bigger pain in the ass to install.
  17. So I was wondering does anyone have an estimate on how much load the inner bag stop takes during a deployment on the totally enclosed bridle that UPT makes.?
  18. I need a yard of neon pink F111 type fabric.I can't find any. Anyone have a some they want to sell?
  19. Andrade1812...yes it is functional although not in great condition
  20. Georger..NO.The rig that Dan Gryder showed is jumpable.you Mus understood what I said.To clarify...that rig can not be described as "an NB8" simply because it is part NB8( the container)and part B 12(the harness).It does have the correct Ripcord for that container ( NB8).
  21. The rig that Dan Gryer came up with is a combination of an NB8 container( extended) and a B12 harness.Now pay close attention here..look at the Ripcord handle.That diagonal tubing inside of the Ripcord,that indicates it is an NB8 ripcord.Why is this significant? The NB 8 has a closer pin spacing than a B12/B4.You have to use the NB8 Ripcord. An NB 8 Ripcord WILL NOT work on a B12 container .
  22. Steve Snyder began playing with the Delta II in 1967.At Ripcord Para Center( he owned the dropzone).Dick Morgan (he was a Golden Knight at the time) began collaborating with him at that time
  23. Written by the late Don Beck when he was working at U.S.Forgecraft
