  1. are you sure ? even if the slider moves around ? I know by experience that NOT. I do agree that it is a good opening canopy, and that it is very permissive on packing, but it can still slam your face/back/ass/whatever you prefer scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  2. well guess you are lucky, generally people get calls to GET OFF the forum scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  3. By that logic you don't have enough experience to recommend someone to take up bowling instead of skydiving. /Martin So you don't know about his Pro Bowling Intructor License ? scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  4. -I'm jumping a new safire 2 189 GOOD -I've been rolling the nose (4 cells each side) into the nose of the center cell, and rolling the tail 15 times before laying it on the ground BAD. Don't roll the nose, don't stuff it in the cells, and roll the tail only to have soem fabric/slider control when on the ground -I always make sure the slider is on the stops and quartered GOOD -before I roll the tail and lay it down to compress the air out of it. Check that the slider is still on the stops after rolling the tail, and during/after the dbagging -I'm thinking its the line trim or the slider size but i could be wrong? it could be possible, ask your dealer/rigger -Any thoughts, suggestions or other packing tips will be greatly appriciated Check Nick Grillet's packing videos from the PD channel on youtube, after 2000 packjobs I saw his videos and learnt lots of cool stuff
