The answer to this could get you a black eye cyber...

I have finally been tempted by the dark side and am going to get myself a Freefly suit. 2 questions: (i) What suits do people fly and what do they recommend - I've heard Michigan suits are pretty good! (ii) Do they come in different fits like FS suits - i.e. skinny people get tight FF suits and fat guys get baggier ones. Cheers

I forgot to ask: With a psycho pack do you get long snivels? What are the openings like on a hop 'n' pop? Cheers

I've just got myself an elliptical 140 and like everyone else has been saying - it is a b*tch to pack! What I want to know is how people do their psycho pack? I've looked at the precision web site and they pull their bridle attachment out and then roll the whole canopy into the bag. On the icarus web site they do the same with a Safire! Does anyone out there do this rolling thing - I have seen a Psycho pack done but the canopy was folded into the bag. My new canopy is a Springo 140 so if anyone Psycho packs that - help!!

Interesting point from slot perfect at the end there about doing a PLF. I wonder if everyone out there knows how to do one - it could make the difference between walking away from a reserve ride and being wheeled away. I had my first mal around Christmas time and ended up under my 150 reserve. I weigh about 160lbs fully kitted up and I usually jump a PD170. Being under my reserve was definitely not what I expected - I thought with it being a 150 it would be a nippy little thing. Yeah, it had pretty quick forward speed but it turned like a truck. What I'm trying to say is that when you end up under a reserve you are going to be under an unfamiliar canopy at low altitude and you don't have time to play around and find out where the stall point is, etc. It's more than likely that you are going to balls up the landing - so get feet and knees together, swallow your pride and if you have to, do a PLF. (The 20 jumps I did on round canopies finally paid off, hehe).
