I don't remember blowing people off, if I did, I didn't mean to. I listen to what you guys are saying, and I apriciate everybody's input. All that said mad me to be even more concerned with safety. There is risk i am willing to take and there is somethings that I will not do at this point, but again I am very conserned with safety. I know that somebody will say: "If you were thinking about safety, you would not jump that canopy." But what I mean is how to do safely what I am doing right now and learn more. Thank ya all.

I do exactly what you discribed. Thank you for input.

Hi Scott, I didn't post question about how to downsise, I asked about my recovery arc when it all started. All I am saying is that I am learning, I am landing way out there, I don't create a problem for anybody else. I am exploring my canopy and its capabilities. And I do listen to other people When I ask how I did and what could I have done to do it better. I am not defensiveI am not saying that what I am doing is right, and ddefinitely I do not encourage others to do it. I just wanna do it.

dgskydive, I would bet my life that you will get better swoops then me. I never said that I am one of the best. I am just learning. I am not trying to start fights. but it was very low of to pick on somebody who is who has nothing to do with it. JP, when I just got this canopy you did not say anything about getting something twice as big, as the metter of fact, Marsel was the only person who told me to think about what I am doing. Anyway, has gone way tooooo far. I am a lover not a fighter. let's all just be friends. OK???

I would like to thank you again SkydiveNFlorida for making my point, That's exactly what I wanted to say. JP I never said that I am ready for it, but when I am you can bet I'm there.

thanks for advice. i will shut the hell up now

I will have to think about that

Fred Smith. The thing that bugs the shit out of me is why are people in a constant quest for someone to blame for somebody's else mistakes? No one forced me to jump the canopy I am jumping, no one told me to do it, instead I always heard the opposite. I realize the risk I am taking and willing to do it. Therefore, if I fuck up, why in the hell should S&TA or DZO be blamed for it. Was I told better not to do it? Yes, I was. Plus I sign the waiwer, so it is nobodies responsibility but my own. People must learn how to be responsible for themselves instead learning how to find the somebody else who could be responsible, and this is what this country's legal system does. You guys might not be realizing this. If it makes you all feel better when you say hey when I read about you in the accident report I will think, I told ya go ahead, but you are NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS in the first place, I make my own dessisions even though they might seem stupid to you. My canopy prograssion was: 10 jumps on Omega 180, 50 on safire 149 couple on Vengince 135 and jedi 120.

Aren't we getting of topic?

I don't wanna sound ignorant, and don't wanna sound like hey, I am better then everybody else, and I am not. But every rule has an exception, even though I have

yep, thet's me. Thanks for the advice, I think that's a good idea to ask Brian. Thanks.

actually i have jedi. but as I understand it supposed to have even longe recovery arc. No my tail is all right, at least it seems to be all right, but I guess I will check it again when the weather gets beter.

May be i bomped tougles while doing that. I think that is probably the cause, but on the other hand, when I did 180 at 500 it recovered at about 70-80 feet. I started to do double fronts after that.

that's exactly what I thought. I don't hook at that alt though. I hook about 500 with a 270 but with double fronts. i got those numbers when i was trying it at about 5000-6000. does this make difference?

mine hav a recovery arc that is about 200-300 feet on 180 turn, is this about right or maybe it is not that big since I only load it 1.6?

does this mean that Jedei has even longer recovery arc then Samurai??

and what was his record? if it isn't a secret ofcourse.

And if you do such a thing to me I'd be pissed and beat the shit out of you. Sorry for streightness.

Parachute center in Lodi has one.

another question I've got is about odyssey. Do cutin laterals make such a significan difference?

Hi guys. I've got this question: is voodoo really the best conteiner for freeflying, or this is just an advertisment trick? I am planning to buy a new rig and think that voodoo looks cool. I now jump a javelin and like it a lot. it is very comfortable. How is voodoo? so this question is for people who jumped both, basicaly pros and cons vor both. Thank you all in advance.

Thanx Guys!!! I've got the idea

Hey, did anyone ever jumped Onyx? if someone did, how is it comparing to VX or Xaos 27?

Hi Guys!!! I'm new to this forum and to the freeflying as well. I can sit and stand very stable, and wanna learn how to go head down, so can anyone advice on some exercises, exit and all that good stuff ? thanx
