what to think when two or more trusted riggers dissagree? so far, my skydiving career has been blessed with a multitude of and superior quality of, experienced and generous mentors. i've been able to trust and rely on all, mostly because the concencice of opinion always seem to track and validate each other. now, i'm finding that my favorite riggers dissagree on packing techique, pilot chute size, briddle length, zp/f-111 hybred skins, line trim adjustments, container mods, link attachments, slidder size,.............and damn near everything else. maybe this is all a part of growing up! comments welcome. greybeard.

i found myself in a flat spin in a skyflyer, immedeately after exit from a porter. cause may have been out of balanced exit from unfamiliar aircraft but the upshot is that it was really cool. i never understood exactly what a flat spin was until then. i could not effectively counter the spin. after two 360 rotations, (as fast as a snap roll), my three second brain caught up with my two second reflexes, i tucked into a ball for only a split second and reopened the wings into stable and true flight. too bad no video to study.
