  1. I think I'll call regular rubber bands plain ol bag lock bands....as those are the only things I saw cause a bag lock.... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  2. I never said I didn't like what you write...but said you post the same thing over and over and over and over...I have counted over 25 threads that you have posted this same info on.... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  3. No problemo... WWW.archwayskydiving.com Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  4. I psycho and it is very straight....it's all in the skill...of the packer. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  5. Yup I know archway is open, that's my home DZ. not too sure about quantum but give them a call. both good DZ's. whats your definition of "too" cold? it will be cold...but the adrenaline makes up for it Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  6. But do they know that even with that amount of shielding that it could protect it from that huge amount of EM Radiation?? Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  7. Well the reason I ask is what will you do when you need to send it in for a 4yr check? are you going to stop jumping for that time? or will you jump without it? I'm not flaming just curious as to your thought process. I dont jump an AAD and not because I am opposed to them... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  8. PCCODER...would you not jump with out a cypres? if you wont...then you should definately decide if this is the sport for you... Also Ron...I think we all get your opinion on new things around here...do we have to hear it again for the 40th time now??? It gets a tad repetative. I also will be getting a Vigil when I have the money...for more than a couple of reasons. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  9. I was under the impression they are to keep the slider up....not necesarily to protect the slinks...although they do provide some protection for them. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  10. mate I wasn't shooting anyone down either...just stating facts as they are. dont take my post as a flame at all. just stating facts. no container including all of the above are perfect all the time. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  11. That's funny, as I've seen plenty of G3's and G4's with flapping riser covers and main pin covers....but then again I've seen every major rig manufacturer have this issue. sometimes it's a packing issue other times a sizing issue. but to claim that you will never have this happen if you buy a mirage is just a flat out falicy.... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  12. that is not what you said... you said that since you guys use more expensive hardware and materials your rig will work 100% of the time...infering that the wings due to it using less expensive materials will not. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  13. So your saying that my wings is less safe than your mirage?? yeah right...the context of your sentence points directly at that. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  14. boxman...or close to it... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  15. please expand on this.... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  16. the direct bagged static line HP jumps I have seen on vengences, and velocities all ended in line twists....just what i saw over the course of 10 or so jumps...some of them were not cutaway's...but most were. I was not doing the jumping. just the watching and this was out of the side of an Otter. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  17. Have you tried the new PD slinks slider stops?...they do work nicely and prevent the slider from dropping down. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  18. I agree I have seen the damage that this causes and the guy had to get the center cell repaired. he didn't do the 4 n 4 thing. he was taking all of em and rolling them into the center cell... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  19. static line and high performance canopies dont go hand in hand all that well.... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  20. This is what I was getting at...but I find it interesting that PD still denies it has any hard opening tendencies....that kind irks me.. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  21. That certain manufacturer also denies there is a problem with hard openings on that particular canopy. saying it is a packing/user issue. I have the broken knuckles to prove it is a bit more of a packing issue with that canopy. but you are right it will damage the nose of that cell. what people need to do is add a pocket slider and not mess with the nose. YMMV... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  22. that would be me that she's talking about...... she's such a smart ass... love ya babe...ya TURKEY!!!
  23. one of the reasons why I left SA..... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
