  3. ...So I walk into this little hispanic supermarket down here in Miam and what a surprise when I see this magazine EL PARACAIDISTA (the parachutist) hehehe check it out www.elparacaidista.com Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

  4. Origins: This amusing photo had been circulated on the Internet for years prior to someone's May 2001 invention of the backstory quoted above. No, there wasn't any such class of cherubic apple-cheeked youngsters headed up by a naive teacher --- that part was all some jokester's flight of fancy. A closer examination of the photo shows these botanical offerings aren't in a classroom but what looks like a warehouse. It's a stock photo, in other words; the planters are shipped with cactus as shown, and the effect is deliberate. Moreover, cactus planters of similar design have been vended on the Internet and off for many a moon. You're likely to encounter them at swap meets and flea markets where the humor of some offerings is a bit coarse.

Yep, and your are forgetting slinks use to change the angle of attack on canopies....I sent my crossfire so they can do the Mod...and It came back with something like 3 inches cut from the A and B lines...so now the front riser pressure is ridicously high..so I was thinking in adding a couple of slinks in the front risers to see what happens...unless you guys talk me out of it...by the way the canopy is for sale $800 takes it...less than 100 jumps it's got two patches on top skin...nice colors....Mod performed...and 139 Sq Ft in size... colors and pics right here: http://communities.msn.com/FreeFlyFree/shoebox.msnw?albumlist=2 or chack attachment sorry for the shameless plug heheheh...

But any way, we where on a big way sit, and then this girl gets separated, she floats....around 8.000 ft....well we get to the base (a heavy guy) then it's time to track...around (6000), by the time we are tracking...I see her rush pass me, man It was very cloese! anyway this video is from a friend of mine....There is also another footage from my point of view of another jump check it ou!....I think If I had done a Barrel roll I could Have seen her...but then I don't lnow...later after the jump I went and told her how close we got there, but nothing else...she is my friend and I'm aware that she noticed it too...so no hard feelings with her... here is the address, http://communities.msn.com/FreeFlyFree then go to Documents and it's there inside the skydiving folder....make a right click on the file and then select "save target as" Felipe Blue Skies NO FEAR, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

  15. This thread has been one of the most practical and helpful that I have come accros lately... Thanks guys Blue Skies NO FEAR, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  16. Well, when my friend (Peter Matos) was teaching me how to PsychoPack, and he got to that point, he told me not to worry about it...then do the first two stows as usual, and in the THIRD stow fix the slack, and then continue stowing your lines and that's it, I Trash-Psycho-Pack my Crossfire 139 and it opens nice and soft and no problems....I might get the ocasional off heading surge, but I correct it by monitoring my canopy's opening with my back risers....Good Luck... I hope The Packing-Police is not watching hehehe Blue Skies NO FEAR, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

  19. Hi, is it ok to install padding into your main tray so you can fit a smaller canopy?...Does anybody have experience with this?. I have a mirage built for a main 150, and I may be getting a crossfire119, so I was wondering if I could have my rigger install some padding onto the walls and/or flaps of my main tray? Thanks Felipe Blue Skies Felipe freeflyfree@icqmail.com

  21. Hi, I would like to buy a camera suit to start shooting tandems, but I have no idea about what to get. I'm 6'' Ft tall and weight 210 out of the door? There are so many options out there small, medium and large wings, booties, no booties, baggy freefly style, skin tight, type A, B and C style, man there is plenty of stuff... I just want to shoot tandems...help please? Thank you. Blue Skies Felipe
  22. Where could I find info on this canopy, or if you guys can write some comments. It was offered to my friend in Bolivia, he has 50 jumps, and he might be loading it 1.2:1... so is a good canopy for a begginer? Thanks and Blue Skies Felipe
  23. I might be getting a used jedei, but I would like to know, are there two kiind of jedeis or are they the same one (Jedei and Jedei sweptwing) and what are the differences? between the two? Thanks Blue skies
  24. I have triple risers and I got them because they offered me with softer toggle pressure (I got my shoulder dislocated once and it came out to say "Hi" during a hookturn two years ago...) ;) jejeje
  25. Do you know if atair will service alphas and Spaces, I have a Space 170 that opens hard every time...my crossfire 139 has a much bigger slider than my Space 170...and the openings are sweet every time...I would like to know if a bigger slider would fix the problem... Thanks Felipe
