Cool quote...

Bytch rocks!!!! I wonder what my child support payment would be as a full time skydiver? 3$ a week!! Yeagh baby!! YEagh!! lol Rhino

I want one!!!!

LOL Congratulations.. Beer!! Your first cone!!

Or a backdoor maybe?

The guy that was cutting himself was the agent that went through the phone.. He also set off the EMP that killed the 5 ships when the sentinals got there.. He was the only survivor! And what about that shit Neo did at the end?? He has super powers!! He is a program that can adapt!!

I don't think that Zion is real in the movie. I think it is a sub program or failsafe in case they have main program "the matrix" failure.. We know an Agent "Mr. Smith" made it in. That means it is still programming. Plus NEO with his "I can feel them comming" then WAMMO thing.. The sentinals fell to the ground.. Plus they kept digging when they got to zion? HOW DEEP DOES THE RABBIT HOLE GO??

Just saw it.. Very cool,,, But DAMN!! It leaves you hanging!!

lol Loading is 1.95 at 400 feet above sea level...

Fair enough.. I never do hooks with anything other than front risers. Initiating a hook with a toggle "brake" is a low energy maneuver as you are essentially stalling half of the canopy to initiate the dive. Initiating with a front riser is a high energy dive leaving 100+ percent of your braking power for reserves. If you toggle hook low and you are already in brakes your options are very limited. If you are in that toggle hook at 20% brakes you could be screwed. That same hook in front risers gives you that extra 20% energy and braking power to deal with. I notice people that toggle hook do it muck lower that those that hook with front risers. Thanks for your input. Rhino

I never said anything about toggles. I mean snap hook with a front riser. I have NEVER hooked with toggles.

I don't know him.. Can you email him? Rhino

I love my Racer... Although I have a new wings I will be keeping the racer.. I think it's hard to close. That is what my rigger told me anyways. Rhino

Do you have it on video by chance? I'd love yo see it on video? Rhino

so the real trick is getting a steep enough carving "dive" over a long enough period of time to get as much speed as possible.. I used to like snap turns because long carving turns started up so high that I had trouble judging when to start them. In retrospect, that was my failing, and I should have spent more time working on it. One more note: a carving turn is generally considered safer as well. Because you are in it longer, you have more time to opt out of it and save your butt. Once you commit to a snap turn, you can't do as much, nor do you have as much time, to get out of it as you do with a carving approach. Quote This is where I am not sure I agree.. I can initiale the snap doing a quick 270, at that point I have just gone into double fronts and am in complete directional control with front risers. I have altitude, speed, can let up on front risers at any time and use up much more air space with the snap and dive method. It is a hard call.. I just don't think I am personally ready for the carving method yet. Seems to me like I have more control and more outs in a dive. Rhino

My brakes are fine.. I've been doing 180's-270's into double fronts, the way I learned. I was approached by one of the better swoopers that I know. He gave me a light hearted warning that I am going to kill myself if I keep snapping like that, canopy folding under thing.. Plus he says that the harness turns are longer and faster than the snap and dive method. I'm not going to disagree because I simply don't know. By the feel and sound I don't seem to get as much speed with a harness turn, even when initiated with a front riser. And the 180-270 affords me better directional control as well as altitude control. I don't know. I want to get one method down before I move onto the next.. Sometimes I apt to carve because of traffic allways seeming to end up really high on the swoop and blowing it all together. Rhino

The Snap hook 180 into double fronts? Or the slow harness carve not even using front risers? Just wondering. I can't seem to even touch the speed I get from the snap hook in a harness carve. Shoot away.. Rhino

Will do.. Thanks

Am I the only person that doesn't have this dvd yet??? Rhino

1st 50 or so jumps were on Falcon220 Falcon210 Falcon190 Spectre170 Sabre170 Sabre 150 Then 100+ jumps on a Triathlon150 10 on a Diablo120 50 on a Diablo110 10 on a Crossfire 103 2 on a Xaos 98 150+ on Crossfire2, 97.. A few in between those jumps on various canopies. Fx, Omega, Spectra, Batwing and others.. I should hit 400 jumps in the next couple of weeks almost half being on the crossfire2, 97, 1.95 wing loading, last year it was closer to 1.85, put on 10lbs over the winter at the gym. AT LEAST 100+ of my jumps have been hop-n-pops from 13k or higher. I don't have a ton of jumps, most of my focus is on flying the canopy. Rhino

LMAO!! lol

My average deployment altitude is 9,000 feet.. But I am a canopy Nazi!!! Yeagh baby yeagh!! Rhino

Get back mister!!

Yeagh!! Yeagh!! Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!
