    We have quite a few on our DZ. Only a couple of rides to speak of so far. However, I did have the opportunity to demo one. It has a good strong flare that will not disappoint. The construction is very good. I own a gear store on a smallish drop zone where I consider every customer part of my extended family. I wouldn't sell 'em if I wouldn't jump 'em. I have Smart reserves in half of my demo rigs. You should feel oh so much more confident with the Smart over the Rascal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I live in Nor Cal, and I don't even know if it's jumpable from day to day. When it's bad, it's really bad in the winter. When the skies clear, it's awesome. Yesterday was perfect. Today was foggy until a few minutes ago. Now it rocks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Hi Bonnie... did you mean with a very high suspended weight? Actually that is exactly what I meant. I should just slow down and articulate instead of speed typing.... Thanks for that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I dno't think I know of a dealer that's gonna touch that since they won't make a dime on the sale. Contact Wings at www.skydivewings.com I will! I will! Any opportunity to measure boys for toys and play with color swatches! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Hey Brad. Yes. Large risers are stronger. But mini risers are more than strong enough to do the job. I usually recommend large risers to people with a very high wing loading. Mini risers will allow you to pull your slider down and collapse it. It is also easier to use your risers for manuvering your parachute. Talk to Brad the rigger there in Hollister. He should be able to address your questions. You can also PM me anytime or come to Byron for a full Q & A session... .... and a few skydives! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

    Thanks! I do the books for a construction company. I'm the only girl and we're having a White Elephant Gift Exchange! I'll let you know how it turns out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I didn't know he cut off her hands too! Did he think her body would not be ID'd that way? Did they ever determine the cause of death? Was Connor still inside her when he did this? It's just insane to imagine that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I recommend washing in Cold and Hanging dry. Dry Cleaning can use undesireable chemicals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Stick around Dave. You'll find that this statement is incorrect. There ARE some that just don't GET it. Even with proper instruction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    It's okay. The bra was padded, but I did get an inner thigh bruise that I had to explain to my husband when he got home! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I'm NOT blonde, but I locked myself out of my new house because I took the wrong house key. I was with a friend. We tried every window, then I saw the one I know was opened. The 9" tiny window above my shower! The neighbors were making bets that my fat ass wouldn't fit through it. Ha! I managed to cram that back in. I went feet first so I wouldn't fall head first into the shower and lie there bleeding with everyone locked out. It was my top that I had to manipulate through! Talk about embarrassing! I had to sit there half in a tiny window and squish my boobs throught the window! My neighbors moved the next week! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Last year around this time I went to the hospital for 5 stitches. The serated knives make cuts that are hard to stick back together, and it kept popping open. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I reported my injury as a skydiving injury. Hard not to when the ambulance picks you up at the dz. I had insurance companies asking me to fill out info about who's land, airplane, etc. Simple keep following up with: "The injury was cause by my own error or misjudgement." Eventually they leave you alone. As far as the USPA goes, I think the stats are usefull. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    By your third jump you should be a bit more relaxed and you will start "feeling" and "seeing" more and more on each skydive. Do your jumps as frequently as possible. Generally on your first skydive you don't see more than your altimeter and a jumpmasters hand or face. Then by jump #2 you might actually see the ground. Your awareness level continues to expand with each skydive. Your awareness level of your body position will increase with each jump too. On your next jump as you are thinking about your arch, also think about slowly and smoothly extending your legs until you "feel" them. I bet on your next skydive you'll actually realize they are there! Have fun... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I left my "Real Life" about 8 years ago. Had one hell of ride! Now I seem to be slipping back into the game, but with a whole new perspective. Follow your heart, but keep your head. Have fun and visit us in Nor Cal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
