The problem I see with this design is that it will come off with a reserve deployment. If this happens, there is always some chance of it to mingle and foul the reserve deployment. I just came from a rigging seminar where it was mentioned that a reserve whistled in with the slider up from one 4 inch piece of E thread some years back. Imagine what a piece of velcro can do... peace, Hixxx

Congrats! I am 14 years sober as of Sep. 21st. When I first cleaned up, I never thought it would last beyond probation. Yet it did, so here I am... peace, Hixxx

Well if Black Sabbath isn't either the top 1 or 2, and Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica(Pre Walmart days) aren't in the top 20, it is a fucking farse. Other bands neccessary to mention would include, but are not limited to: Ozzy Osbourne (with Randy Rhoads) Motorhead, Judas Priest, AC/DC (top 5), Napalm Death, Celtic Frost, Morbid Angel, Janes Addiction, Iggy Pop, Misfits, Ramones, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Exodus, Testament, Nuclear Assault, Anthrax, Rush, Dream Theater, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, and System of a Down. -Hixxx death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when

The last time I posted him is Chewy 2, a recent photo is Chewy 7 (they are only about 4 months apart). Chewy enjoys carring his stuffed animals around the back yard, farting like the gates of hell have been opened, and cuddling with master on the couch. I have also included a pic of his sidekick Spike. Hixxx death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when

Okay, I think the Jedei Mindtrick thing has gone a little too far. Hixxx death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when

I would have to say all of the women involved with Jump for the Cause. xxx, Hixxx

This is the way I have mine mounted. It is in the lower left corner of the raised camera mount on the left side. It is in a fairly natural spot to reach (like touching your ear) and partially protected by the dbox. Hope this helps...

PM Groundzero on this one. Chris talked at length about the construction of these when I saw him at Couch Freaks. It sounds like one tuff MF of a canopy from what he said. Jon

I don't have any trouble setting a Javelin pc down in the rig nicely with just a packing paddle and what I think is a fairly standard knee plate. However, I take the time to make a good valley beforehand getting as much bulk out to the sides and maintaining it as I close the side flaps. Then the knee plate comes into play for the pop top and bottom and top flaps. As for damageable rigs, I pack a lot of Wings and there is a virtually damage proof plate in it. I would estimate its thickness at about 1/8" vs 1/16 in the Javelin. I snapped several closing loops with a postive leverage tool in my own rig when I first got my rating, before the gods of better technique smiled upon me. It is nice to have the security of stronger materials with those rigs, but ultimately I have found there is no replacement for distributing bulk and getting the closing loop length right. Jon
-
Too much force and you may damage the container too. I have seen several Javelins with the anchoring disc for the closing loop tented up. One was bad enough that it had to be replaced to the tune of 100.00 to pull the backpad off and do it right. This is why I will not use a positive leverage tool on a Javelin or any rig that seems to have a damageable anchoring plate for the closing loop.

Yeah, I would also like to make note that there are more Aggies buried at Nebraska's Memorial field this year. I almost wish Nebraska doesn't win the North. There is no way they are going to make it interesting against the Sooners with the Quarterback we have right now. Our field general isn't even qualified to control his own privates let alone execute our offense. Hixxx death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when

A few months back I was discussing reserve packing methods with a master rigger I ran into at a boogie. He said that he has a "staggered" flat pack method that opens faster than a neat propack. I was wondering if anyone else is familiar with this. I personally believe you can't beat a neat propack with the nose wide open and a good wind channel up the center. thanks, Jon

I heard the scariest costume this year is the Cub fan who muffed Alous' attempt at that foul ball in the play offs. Hixxx death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when

Yeah, I have seen that. However, if you notice it is not a pond strike. He hit the sand and somersaulted into the water. This is striking evidence that he cannot be killed by conventional weapons. He is one tough Mother!#@$. Hixxx death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when

Cool Video! I hope the guy on the Cobalt at the end learned something from his F!#$up. That is one of the hardest (at least steepest) pond strikes I have seen. Looks like it would have been a life taker over dirt... Hixxx death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when

I would just like to say that you rule! I have been ravaged by pop ups for weeks until I down loaded this application. Now all I get is the refreshing and resounding pop when it deletes a pop up.

kelleyadai did pretty good too. Chikara is a first year all woman team and they posted a 13.2 average in the advanced class. Much proud of the little sis!!! Hixxx

My little sister was making fun of me on my last jumps on student status when I visited her in VA. Hey there "Mr Hixxx" with white canvas jump suit on, yellow and brown grippers, yellow protec, undenyable newbie grin. That was fine. Then she show up and called me that in NE at our club boogie in front of members. None of the students at the dropzone know my real name anymore...

For some reason, my pop up killer isn't working for this page... They all look like good sports to me, maybe I should take up something in the medical field and move on-to other sports. Hixxx death,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when

Cool, good to know... The Majik guys have got to be stoked over that one. I know last year's performance at nationals had to be a let down for them after smokin' everyone at the meets before and after it. It'll be sweet to see a rematch between Airspeed and the Russians in one short year too, if they prevail in 8-way.
