  8. Thank you, Thank you, you guys have given me many important points, knots as a potencial cause of a malfunctions, and most importantly the option of using a household sewing machine (better yet if I go to a car upholstery shop, they have heavyduty machines). Jump Shack's method is great for field repairs. Well, once again, thanks, freeflyfree -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  9. Thanks, I was picturing the method (jump shack's) already in my head: loop/lock A, then B And next fingertrap the cascade and last loop/lock bottom end....mmmm As to why do I ask, well, we don't have any riggers where I come from, (third world country) Will continue to educate me in the subject, thanks, Felipe. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

  10. Build them from a spool, cascaded preferably, none cascaded seems easier, what knot would you use? Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  11. Hi everyone!, Q: Is it posible to build canopy line sets with out the aid of a sewing machine?, well even if you have to stitch them by hand? Thanks, Felipe. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  12. Great Idea, on the cutaway, so simple! Thanks. now for the reserve... Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  13. Hi, well, when I loosen my chess strap under canopy, my pillow handles tend to fold backwards under the MLF, I have a mirage g3 from 2000 original handles, so I was wondering if there were stiffer designs out there, or how to fix it, thanks. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

  14. CYPRUS, I know, nobody cares to correct this anymore...anyways, I wouldn't be surprised if expired AADs are being used in places where they can get away with it...all you need is new batteries and you're good to go. CYPRES aren't set to self destruct at the 12 year mark. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  15. I was having a conversation with my son when the subject came up: How Heavy is The Man of Steele? I did a quick reading on the net and came up with de theory that he's light as a feather and THAT explains his powers... And you guys, have you ever contemplated such deep questions? (My son is 3) -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  16. Is there a local watering hole near skydive miami where the locals gather? Or is it done in the parking lot? Or maybe the beer tradition is not so engraved in the soul of the people maybe they go for mojitos (a most delicious cuban refreshment) -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

  17. I have none, I store my pilot chute inside my container and have the handle tucked on a corner of the bottom of my rig -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  18. great quote from HitchHiker's Guide To The Galaxy, I always remember the song from the bbc series it goes something like this...tin tin tintiririnrin, tin tin tiririn, tin tin tintiririn, tin tin tiririn. and yes a towel is very helpful....it can help you dry a pair of jeans in a hurry..just lay the wet pants in the middle of an open towel, roll the towel with the pants in it and have a friend help you twist it as hard as you can...and the jeans will come out as dry as they come after the centrifuge cicle in your washer...

  21. I'm looking for a rigger in the ft. lauderdale, hollywood, area... does anybody know one? -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  22. Are they made in Honduras!!!!!!????? Oh My God!!!!! That's it I'm not jumping anymore!, I'm going home Felipe. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  23. So some people are sick fucks big deal, my problem is when my mother and dear ones see these things, imagine, my mother won't go to the DZ (when I'm home in Bolivia) to see me, because she worries too much and it's not a pleasant experience for her. At family reunions they only talk about how they saw so and so die on TV and my mother dies inside and I FEEL that and pisses me off. Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

  24. Looks like I'm going to work at Baton Rouge...was wondering what's the closest DZ to the area. Thanks! Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."
  25. I was a flight attendant working for a company that had 727s and 737s. the only way you could jump out of the airplane would be if a bomb exploded inside and opened a big enough hole for you to jump out of...in the case of the 727 I had a plan...fly below 14.000 depressurize the cabin open the back door (aft air stairs) this would release the stairs but the DB COOPER thingy would keep it closed. then throw the rafts (they are heavy) onto the closed stairs and jump on it in order to break the DB COOPER lock . this lock is a flimsy piece of metal that moves in place when the air pushes it... the things I thought when I was bored up there working.
