    A friend of mine recently did 60 skydives on his 60th birthday. All out of a Cessna https://www.airdriecityview.com/rocky-view-today/man-sky-dives-60-times-for-60th-birthday-at-beiseker-airport-7209118

    me too... IanHarrop - Dropzone.com Update: When I change the theme to "dropzone" using the dropdown at the very bottom of each page of the website the problem of "array" goes away I noticed the default theme being set to something other than "dropzone" and reported in feedback on June 26.

    Part of the problem is that the DZ listing are "owned" by whoever created them... presumably the DZ owners. As such, edits are their responsibility. There isn't a process for updating listings except by the owners. If a DZ disappears or the owners change the listings go out of date. Unfortunately dz.com has lst relevance so those DZ owners no longer see any value in keeping the listings up to date.

    The list is way out of date... best example it the province of Alberta in Canada. https://www.dropzone.com/dropzones/canada/alberta/ Not one of the listed DZ is correct. I've offered updates over the years... no response. I say just do away with the whole DZ listing, it's not worth looking at

    I noticed at the very bottom of the site there is a drop down titled Theme and when you click on it, you see options. One of the options is Dropzone but it is not the default. Wondering if this is correct..

    Of the 28 dropzones in Canada (listed on cspa.ca) these are the the ones that are also affiliated with USPA (as listed on uspa.org)

    If you are looking for a PC application that lets you download videos from YouTube, this is the one I use - the free version works just fine https://www.any-video-converter.com/en6/for_video_free/

    So far I am pleased with them. I probably only have a dozen jumps on them but they seem to be holding up well.. They certainly stretch very well I double stow everything. Recently I pulled open a pack job and watched how things deployed. It appeared to be the same as if I was using rubber bands. It's the end of the season here. Local DZs are now closed so I won't get any more jumps on them this year.

    I made a few jumps using my newly made tube stows. The first was with rubber bands for the locking stows but tube stows on all the others and then a hop and pop with tube stows for the locking stows as well. I could see no issues so I made a couple of jumps from the top with everything as tube stows. They worked great. On the plus side I liked how they performed and I liked the tension they provide when double wrapped. On the down side I am looking to add glue to the joints. Over the four jumps so far with them I had two of them separate while packing. From what I've found online rubber cement appears to be the glue to use with latex tubing. Thoughts or suggestions on gluing tube stows will be much appreciated. Thanks, Ian Edited to specify rubber cement seems to be recommended for Latex tubing. From what I've read Silicone tubing is a whole different thing when it comes to adhesives.

    Made my first 12 Tim-Stows To be cautious, I have kept my 4 locking stows as good old Keener rubber bands but the other 8 stows have been changed. I'll probably do a hop and pop, look for anything I notice either during the opening or inspection after the jump before I consider changing my locking stows. Much thanks! Ian

    I've heard of people making their own tube stows and since availability of quality rubber bands is now an issue, I'm hoping someone can post detailed instructions on how to make standard size tube stows. Yes I know they can be purchased but I'm curious. I've done a search of the forums and did not find details like: what tubing to use diameter of the tubing length to cut to for each stow how much overlap of the tube is recommended what glue if any should be used. I've probably missed something important that needs to be considered. Is anyone out there making their own tube stows and willing to share details?
