    Hmmm... I guess that does make some sense. But yeah, overall, the ride is not going to be off-road. Just a 30 minute highway ride.. Up High!!

    Is it safe to Ride a Motorcycle with your rig on? I have just bought a bike and was wondering if riding to the DZ with just my rig on my back would pose a problem. Yes, the pilot chute needs to be stowed extremely well, besides that.. Up High!!

    Yes its real, The guys down at Perris made the adjustments with my mirage. Had a line over, clicked 3 times and that was that. Reserve came out flawless. Save your money though, the $1750.00 price range is for serious skydivers only. Thanks John, Chuck, Allen; you guys are the best. Up High!!

    Dude sweet rig! Ward hooked me up! Three weeks delivery time. I am overseas in Iraq right now, and still got the job done. I made several broken phone calls through worthless SATCOM antenna's, e-mail servers go down like its cool out here, and on top of it, I was honored my military discount while the offer lasted. Mirage is hands down the fastest and most supportive parachute industry I have ever had the pleasure in dealing with. THANK YOU WARD AND MIRAGE SYS. Up High!!

    I am about to purchase a Sabre 2 135 but have a few questions on my mind. I am currently on a Tri 160 and have put near 40 jumps on the old Sabre 150. Did fine and still do well with both canopies, but wanted to finially stop downsizing and stay with the Sabre 2 135 for the next few years. I am basically going from a 1.2 wingloading to a 1.333. Before the questions arise, I have done much play with the canopy in the air and have accuarte stand up landings on both of those canopies. Plenty of front riser turns and flat turns have also been excersised frequently under both these canopies. Thanks for the input if you have some. Up High!!

    Mirage Sys. is NO LONGER offering that deal. I believe I was the last one to buy a discounted rig from them. It was 50% off base rig, and 15% off all options. Its pretty sweet to know that I got a FULLY LOADED Mirage for half price. Thanks Mirage-Kick-Ass! Up High!!

    Hey Tonto? About the lines, is there generally a rule of thumb for the amount of jumps on a canopy before you get new lines. Obvioulsy, I am talking about lines that are just old, and have been upkept theirn whole life. I had a feeling that you cant just keep the same lines for years and years even thouhg they show no rips or extreme fray, etc. Up High!!

    Slowing down

    partyboy replied to bkoch's topic in Freeflying

    I once was in a head down dive @ 201 mph near 6000 feet, and came out of it by 5000 and was going according to my ProTrack 140mph. I have the software that shows the graph and stats of a free-fall speed and to answer your question, if I was going that fast in a dive, at regular free-fly speed (150-160 ish), then it would cost you no danger to just begin break-off like normal and you will be more than safe and ready to pull after you feel comfortably seperated from your group. Hope this hepls. Up High!!

    Dude, The same happened to me, and still is. I am in Iraq right now and am supposed to be home in August or something,..? I have been told about basic saftey just as to remeber your wing loading and hitting HD hardcore. I guess you'll figure out where you are in due time. Have a good one. Up High!!

    Today I spoke with Ward at Mirage Sys. to finialize my order, and found some awsome news on top of the baddest deal one could ever find on a fully loaded G4 container. My order went from a mere 8 weeks to 3!!! Thats right, 3 weeks. If anyone can find a better deal than that, prove it. Mirage is by far the best manufactuerer with the fastest return rate of them all, HANDS DOWN. Thanks Ward and all at Mirage Sys. Up High!!
