training with a new chute/ other newb questions
rwieder replied to chemist's topic in Gear and Rigging
Since you obviously didn't hear me the 1st time. This is about the best advice I can give you. When I was going through the AFP back in the day at SDSL I ordered my rig straight away. I didn't wait for wood, water or coal. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -

rwieder replied to chemist's topic in Gear and Rigging
You asked a question, you received an answer. Don't be upset if it's not what you wanted to hear. If you want to buy your own rig, get at it. Insure it has an RSL, AAD and a main that keeps your wing load at no more than a 1:0:1 Fly the wings off of it. You'll figure the rest out by yourself. Take a canopy course, and before you buy a main, demo, demo, demo. I would suggest a 7 cell to begin with. They're very forgiving canopies. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -
These are the ones I use every jump. Not just in the winter. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

1:4:1 at 30 jumps equates into suicidal. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Dealing with the "Crossbrace at 300 jumps" crowd.
rwieder replied to DocPop's topic in Safety and Training
These low jump number "High Performance" canopy pilots come in waves. I'd educate them, and ground them. We used to tell em' "you learn all about it (swooping) and explain it to me and we'll talk about it" and see what they'd come up with. I've lost too many good friends, and almost a couple more that died are were seriously injured under perfectly good canopies. I'm glad I was 39 when I started sky diving. If I were to have been 17 or 18 when I started I can tell you I wouldn't be here now. Generally, if your canopy hits the ground before you do, it's going to be a really bad day. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" -
Never gave this much thought as my user name is simply my 1st initial, the rest being my last name. Heck I've never given being a serial killer much thought. I'll dwell on it and get back with ya! Best- Richard

Yes ma'am, people can and do change. My Religion, wife, children and Grand children changed me a great deal. It's made a life lasting change on mine & my wife's life. We wouldn't change nothing. Life is a true blessing and gift from God! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Back in the day I bought a couple of brand new PISA 170^2 HeatWaves. Before I even jumped either of them, I listened to a friend of mine who was flying one already. He had an over sized slider on it to prevent said Sabre type hard opening. It worked, very well. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

At the bottom of the window of each posts, there's a tab that says "View Threaded" click on it and that should put the fix on it Chuck. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Feb the 2nd was the 1st phase of her treatment. they didn't just go in and do the radical mystectomy all at once. Pardon for the language, but this was when the "Nipple" treatment was done. Which is when I first learned of it. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

What's your source Clark Kent? There's a little thing called the "Wonder Wall" on msn.com that has all kinds of stuff not published elsewhere, I don't pay much attention to it simply b/c I just don't care. A.J. not having any breast anymore isn't going to change my life one way or another, yours? Is there anything you guys DON'T KNOW? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

No, you just showed up all by by yourself. See my ammended post above Ian, that's allright. No apology expected. You just know, I'm NOT your new "John Rich." -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"
