and thats how the big boys win the money by breathing through there eyes while they are closed and going big on the ranch pond :-P Hope your travels are well JP Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

its funny how many little decisions go into one swoop mine starts at loading the plane where there are no beeps yeah my 270 starts at around 650 or so or so being the prime operative words...cause there is no perfect altitude no exact hey I can make my turn here...cause guess what every fucking turn is different...avery one is filled with adjustments every harness turn not exact...I think that most people who actually use a optima who know what they are doinguse it primarily for setup points only...and the beep and turners need to be told hey now thats not how we use our tools... I am actually kinda happy, I bought an optima put it on my helmet with the protective shield on it and it distracted me so much with its stupid beeping that I fucked up my set up and wound up so soaking wet in the pond as a result that it broke... the beeps were not cool for me...its neptune for setup points, eyes from there...

I couldnt skate in the 80s 90s or now in fact I used to use my skateboard to get under my car to change the oil... but the Freeflying/Swooping model I just bought from the Etnies site is working out for me pretty well Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

I love the picture of the ranch with a broken leg who from what I hear from my friends there, he basically refused to be moved by the paramedics until someone went and got a camera and took a picture, the break was pretty nasty but the smile in the picture was amazing...

and heres the funny part...I have tested out the velo...own an fx but consistantly at my home DZ I outswoop most (not all) of the velo pilots with my crossfire 2 119 :-P D http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

shit dude I learned to swoop on a sabre2 170 http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

well every surface will change yoru flight... I like to wear flat bottom skate shoes that dont match my jumpsuit at all... but they are flat bottomed...and I am sure if I change the angle on my foot it helps :-P plus they make cool sounds when I slide on the grass while swooping fast pfffbbfppppfffbbpfffbbbbbbb Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

and I just booked my christmas flights to zhills to come do some jumpage... Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

or what about ask the packers some of them are nice and will help you learn to pack your f'ing 210 sabre 2 so they can focus on packign the sub 100s and making more oney with less sweat Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

It's like me asking you what yours is. In reality, it's none of my business. yeah I am a bit on the heavy side :-P and mine is listed 1.8 on an xfire2 119 for any who want to poke at me...and personally I was told by my canopy instructor (Brian Germain) to move to the 119...the 99 only comes out of the gear closet when I am hella current and feel like I want to lift weights... BACK TO THE ORIGNAL POSTERS QUESTIONS I was asking because he stated that his wingloading on a canopy that I have flown was causing quicker plane outs.... more questions ensue which I should have asked first... Are you doing a single riser turn have you considered bumping up your turn 100-150ft and slowing it down...you will find more speed in your canopy and more swoop...also if you work on starting the turn slowing down the oturn with the opposite riser to get your self on line and then bring the opposite riser to the same level as the other riser to bring yourself on line that you will in fact have lost a hell of a lot more altitude than you are losing now...even on a sabre 150...then add in the easing out of your fronts instead of bringing your canopy from diving to trying to recover instantly causing almost a positive recovery arc, try easing the risers out smoothly so that you almost stear your own recovery arc, this will help immesnly too... Now my final point...practise this shit up high man and always be prepared to bail to your toggles and dig em quick... Cheers and fly safe brother Dave PS I am in now way in any form downing your current experience level, some of thgis shit you may be doing some of this shit you may know, but how would I know that I dont liev near you http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

when in eloy wearing black jump suits is key Especially not wearing white after labor day in eloy is always good...but have you seen what white comes out of eloy looking like? it becomes this funky brown color...it wil be nice to take my white rig out there soon so that it matches the white stripes on all my jump suits from jumping out there... Dayyuummmnnnn Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

I have jumped with some very high people... I always will "Fondly" remember the jump where my friend leaned over to me said wow I totally just smoked a shitload of opium...and then dragged me out of the plane it was a very silly jump...lets just say I was barrelrolling like mad on trackoff D http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
