Comebacks for skydiving criticism?
talon2 replied to mt_skydiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I agree with Quade,However your enthusiasm,and accomplishment s is going to doom you to keep fielding whuffo Qs..........One I always love is "If we were meant to fly we would have wings"....The answer ? "If we were meant to stay on the ground we would have roots" Got that off my instructor many years ago. Mike -

When did you move to throwout deployment?
talon2 replied to DrStrangelove's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The good Doc has certainly opened the door on ripcord ,BOC ripcord and BOC TAP with or without strip BOCs.For those who started on anything other than a true BOCTAP , would you please comment on your conversion process ,ie time taken, No and type of jumps etc..Can I also ask for thoughts on 2 action systems and SOS gear with the main deployment systems mentioned above. Ta, Mike -

Perris? Elsinore? How could you possibly lose? Mike -
3 float 3diving making a diamond on middle f loat,2 others catted on tail of diamond.Hell of a ride for No8 on the end of that 3 way cat. Worked well out of Islanders too.Developed by Prometheus in the early 80s Mike. Camera slot was not an issue as it judged ground to air
