  1. Go to Motel 6. They give a discount on the room if you mention you are a jumper too. Packing on the grass outside is fine... and so is packing at the VISITOR'S CENTER by the bridge. :-) -The A Abbie Mashaal Skydive Idaho Snake River Skydiving TandemBASE

  3. Hey Russell! Call PD, and ask for a demo. All you pay is shipping costs. PS- Im back in the US!! Saw Collin last night. Saw his canopy 180 too. Will call ya today or so to say hello. Chao, Abbie Mashaal Skydive Idaho Snake River Skydiving TandemBASE
  4. Cutting away is done by using a handle that releases the main canopy. A knife is only used if there is a malfunction called a line-over. Trying to cut all the lines one by one, would at one point put you into a spin. Go look at your SIM again. Section 4, Category A. Here's a link.. http://www.uspa.org/publications/SIM/2005SIM/Section4CatA.htm And here's some text (note steps 4 and 6)... partial malfunction Note: On single-operation systems, pulling the reserve ripcord releases the main canopy first before deploying the reserve. Partial malfunction procedures for a single-operation system (SOS) are the same as for a total malfunction. 1. Check altitude. 2. Return to the arch position. 3. Ripcord systems only: Discard the main ripcord. 4. Locate and grasp the cutaway handle. 5. Locate the reserve ripcord handle. 6. Pull the cutaway handle until no lower than 1,000 feet. 7. Pull the reserve ripcord handle immediately after cutting away or by 1,000 feet, regardless of stability, to initiate reserve deployment. 8. Arch and check over the right shoulder for reserve pilot chute deployment. 9. Do not cut away below 1,000 feet. a. If a malfunction procedure has not resolved the problem by then, deploy the reserve (requires a cutaway with an SOS system). b. In the event of any malfunction and regardless of the planned procedure or equipment, the reserve ripcord must be pulled by no lower than 1,000 feet.

  5. Bleh. To clarify. I will be drinking beer in Las Condes, Chile on the 23rd of this month. :-P -A Abbie Mashaal Skydive Idaho Snake River Skydiving TandemBASE
  6. These guys are very knowledgable in what they are saying but... I've jumped my velcro rig from airplanes with no problems. Change out your velcro when it needs it. If someone wants to discuss whether thats a good idea or not, start a new thread. And listen to Dexter. He put some really good stuff in the thread for you. -a Abbie Mashaal Skydive Idaho Snake River Skydiving TandemBASE
  7. ill be up there the week prior and probably stick around till the 25th or so. I caught a rumor that the rest of the skydive taft boys are planning on coming up the weekend of 23-24, which was the orignal reason to stick around. Lawndart is supposed to be up that weekend too with his brother-in-law. cya, Abbie Mashaal Skydive Idaho Snake River Skydiving TandemBASE

  21. lucky f0cker. I expect to lose my license when i get back to the states. I also half expect to be arrested as i step foot on US soil since there's probably a warrant for not appearing to court. less than a week before i left the country I got popped for wreckless driving on my motorcylce. I'd glaaaaadly pay 108. twice even! I cant wait to see what the attorney bill for this will be. -A Abbie Mashaal Skydive Idaho Snake River Skydiving TandemBASE
