    I dislocated my shoulder when I was learning to sit...o at least hurt it...I had a suit that was very baggy in the arms...then also with the same suit in the wind tunnel as I went to reach for the door I felt a sharp pain.... The boxman position puts the arms at a position where they could be overextended.... Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

    buuaaahaha I can't believe this thread...I had a stupid accident installing laminates. my safety goggles fogged up an I weNt to push a piece of laminate that was next to the saw and I TOUCHED THE FREAKING BLADE!!!!!!! I still see the exact moment in my mind when I close my eyes and go to sleep at nights. I lost the tip of my left middle finger at the first joint. bone and everything. couldn't be reattached. I leave you with some pics while I sit here wondering how am I going to play guitar and if I'll be able to make a left front riser turns in the future...If you jump in miami i'll see you soon.

    I'll be in jumping in Titusvile tomorrow wednesday, but besides freefall what would be a nice spot to watch the launch from? Thanks Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

    where do you have the pud attached to, to the base of the pilot chute or to the top (apex I think). it makes a whole lot of difference (as far as what you feel) from one to the other. -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

    OK I feel stupid now....I thought that the blue part of the canopy had regular cells and the white had crosbracess...I though it was a Hybrid of some kind...like this one do you notice the difference? compared to this other?

    Of course www.bigairsportz.com would come to mind as a first and most ovious choice...but I was hoping to hear from people like packers or gear dealers that have come across a variety of canopies and slider designs. Just an opinion on what manufactures or private rigger that hass the best slider design outhere... Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY...

    I'm ready to order a new slider...I bought my canopy used and got new lines but the previous owner seemed to not have paid attention to the slider bumpers, anyway the brass in the slider is nicked and chiped like you won't believe...it seems like the gromets filed down with the friction of the lines at opening...so I was thinking in replacing the slider.... who makes the best slider out there? snag proof...and that offers the least resistance once it's collapsed?

    now that picture without the proper description looks deceiving, If remember well that guy had packed the reserve slider-down for an even faster opening...see it again Felipe -- Blue Skies NO FEARS, NO LIMITS, NO MONEY... "A Subitánea et Improvísa Morte, Líbera nos, Domine."

    There are a lot of Experienced people that have positions in regard to some stuff like RSLs, CYPRES, Stilletos, pull out, triple risers, hatred towards certain equipment companies, etc. and they are constantly saying it out loud around the DZ, and so new jumpers take it for axioms...and you have to see with what aplomb they talk I always hated it...some are lost cases, yet there is still hope in others.
