minimal leg drag does make hanging easier for me personally (I don't wear my big freefly suit,rather pants or less baggy item)

Sorry you have to work, sweetie. I am not sure I could land at 5000 above MSL anyway. ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

My reply was to skycat who is at work unfortunately, 2000 miles away from us. My excuse is I am setting up my dual boot video processing machine to encode mp3s from ripped CDs.....because it is raining. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

yes yes yes. screw night jumps (they are once in a while bonus activity and are mainly for those special operations robots at Fort Bragg). If you are going to have a license that says you are an expert skydiver you may as well have some advanced canopy techniques in your portfolio. ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

touch my monkey. Olav's ( a european) videos tend to have a lot of good techno, infact the last freefly video I made in premier was guilty as charged . "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

tight black turtlenecks. techno music. Just kidding, I too am interested what is the European freefly style compared to the North american one (ref: freefly circus and flyboyz) who have been to Europe for the big boogies. thanks ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

I believe the manual states the closing loop should be 1 5/8" long (no longer no shorter). DZ gossip is that the flaps will not line up correctly etc. Personally I would like to make mine about 1" because my main is a little loose. One rigger (who jumps one like that) told me it would be fine. Are there any downfalls to having the closing loop shorter than recomended ( I'm going to demo a slighlty smaller main and I will have to shorten it..period)? bloo skies ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

I have seen one of those ('you are a pussy' types) main flap open, bridle come out and get a slammer while head down and a canopy open at 13000. He was jumping a mirage with a sabre in it. when I don't get a pin check I scold myself. keep on doing what your doing. ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

I have seen a person in Dallas loaded about 2.6 on a velocity atempt one during a swoop (luckily wind was blowing about 25mph). His canopy dissappeared behind him and he fell on his ass straight down (very little foward speed at the time). I play with them very high on my FX to plane out after a braked turn, but...I got no intentions of trying to land that way especially cross wind or downwind.

when I was jumping a triathlon@1.3 (which opens slow) my lines (spectra) were pretty loose in tube stows (maybe line dump possible), and I never had any problems and it was easy to pack and they lasted a long time.
-
Sounds like someone told you a long time ago to complete your flare.... Smooth application of toggles and flaring all the way (which I happen to know 60% of the jumpers at my DZ don't do) can make a difference. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

I might go and try and hop ship with anyone that doesn't have video... but all freefliers have video..sooo I may jump ship to video RW if there is no freeflying for me. ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

I don't mean the DZ's buisiness. More DZs should have free coaching or load organizing. I mean Team Methods tidy little freefly coaching buisiness. "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

When I bought my FX last year I was told I had a 'good' one because it was made in jan 01. I just ran across an opportunity to pic up a big VX (97) with few jumps on it for a good price (from the photos the (warning label and canopy label are not too worn). The manufacture date is July 00. I am slightly worried because it is older and Icarus sort of has a reputation of changing things on the fly with the extremes. Is there anything I should be aware of other than Icarus has re designed the sliders (lighter grommets..slider rebound)? bloo skies ramon "Revolution is an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment.", Ambrose Bierce.

not s-a-m-u-r-a-i vengeance opens better and is easy to pull hard dives and swoops, but I suspect a very very good samurai pilot might swoop a little further. I like my vengeance because I turn it at an atltitude where I get scared on my FX and it is perfect (i.e. not that much adjustment) and it is a good second canopy. r "wee girls on a skydive road trip on big bikes...... yikes, dykes and bikes kinda thing......

Big man little canopy...hahaha He does shut it down pretty good. I'll ask him this weekend if he has one around 110-100ish. "wee girls on a skydive road trip on big bikes...... yikes, dykes and bikes kinda thing...... ", David McKelvie
