  1. Combat Rel I understand. Commonly seen during Starcrests
  2. I'm pretty damn sure I won't be getting 120m on this canopy, but the course isn't set up so I have to do the full length... it's only about 50m. We'll see if that's achievable
  3. It doesn't climb; it's just that if I release the front risers appropriately then I don't need to bump brakes/rears to plane out. Apologies if I used the wrong terminology. At my current skill-level & speed this isn't a problem. As I get better, that may change. When I feel that it's the canopy holding me back, I'll get onto something smaller & zippier.
  4. Don't worry. He's a Kiwi that can't speak English either .

  13. Hi Annette, No one's going to kick you off! Feel free to hang around and ask questions if you feel the desire. We also talk a lot of rubbish here in Bonfire, and you're more than welcome to join in if that takes your fancy! dave.
  14. Until recently I was using both a Pro-Track and an Optima. The combination works well.

    Autumn or Fall?

    Pretty much. At least, I've never heard it anywhere else.

    Busted!

    Which, given the cliff was closed because of nesting peregrines, is a distinct possibility.
  17. Thanks Jim, that was very useful.
  18. Do you have a commercial relationship with Jumpshack? I ask because you've got their homepage as your own in your profile and you've spruiked their products a couple of times in many of your posts. Call me an asshole, but I like to know if those providing advice have vested interests
  19. You're going to pay for my flights from Australia, entry fee, jumps, and beer? Thanks! That's very generous of you.
  20. Of course she does. She's damn cool.
  21. They have decent bunkhouses. If you're nice to Don+Louise that mightn't be a stretch at all.
