  8. I was referring to the main chute. At that time my guess is that most of the rigs main parachutes were static lined and didn't have a setup for a Main Ripcord. But I can be very wrong (most certainly). The best answers concerning older gear can be found in the History and Trivia section of the forums. Or ask John Rich, he always has a good answer scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  9. Dear John, either the people doing "swoops" at your DZ's didn't understand how a correct setup is done, the people watching them don't have a clue, or you are particularly reluctant to any evolution (evolution is not necessarily good in my opinion, just a change), or a combination of all of the above. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  23. depends on how slow you can fly. very instructive to fly there. I wouldn't call it "freeflying" as in skydiving, I'd rather call it Bodyflying, as in being better with all your body attitudes. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
