    That is a very good question.. If we ever get there I will let you know...

    I would love to have one.. Something to show my turn in altitudes and speeds through the entire arc of the swoop.. That would be cool..

    Hey.. No matter to me.. The war isn't over in Iraq. I speak as a Marine.. I stick by my word. By the time the war is over proof will be produced that even Bill is o.k. with.. lol And I think Bill is underestimating how good our soldiers are. They are AMAZING people that are rooting out those slugs in Afghanistan and Iraq. What is really scary is that our boys and girls over there are getting better every day. They are adapting faster then the enemy can think. With the enemies limited intelligence it isn't a surprise.. Rhino

    The outcome was the same as usual.. One step closer to getting my son back. 4 more days schedules as of now. That will make a grand total for this hearing alone of 12 days in front of the FOC referree.. Next.. We do the whole thing in front of the judge over again. No matter.. My son is the goal. Not time. Not money. All him.. My home is the better place.. She has already proven that she is unfit. Now I just have to finish the process.. My son will be home in the next 6 months. Rhino

    Considering you are just starting most of what you will probably be doing is belly flying and getting to know your parachute.. I would get a Jevelyn or Wings container. Hell even a Dolphin is good. I am told the Dolphin reserve fires more over your head than straight back so that could work to your advantage in some malfunctions. PD reserve.. Aerodyne Research Triathlon main.. Loaded at 1.0 - 1.1. Starting on a seven cell canopy wil give you an advantage and build usefull muscle memory when the times comes to fly your seven cell reserve. That muscle memory can keep you from getting hurt. You will learn slow speed flight, accuracy and have a canopy that flies through chop very well under the Triathlon. Get an RSL. And a Cypress. Also a full faced helmet. This is a good start.. Also.. Find a mentor that has a great safety record and that obviously knows what he is doing. You can learn this by simply keeping your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open at the dz.. Rhino

    Interesting... I haven't tried it to quiet that extent.. I'll try next time.. I am on a crossfire2, 97.. Loaded almost 2.0.. I still appreciate the directional control as far as swoop lane and total airspace used I have with the double front snap hook that one doesn't have with the carve or harness turn. Not only that the double front approach is much more forgiving where turn in altitude is concerned.. Rhino

    If I am at a dz or a boogie that doesn't permit me to pull a bit higher under SOME circumstance I simply won't go there.. At the wffc I pulled between 4-6k on all jumps.. excluding 2-2.5k hop-n-pops. Of course with the permission of the pilot and tracking out of the opening lane of the planes 3 minutes behind me. Where I opened and where others behind me opened was about half a mile of space. Rhino

    I can't even come close to the speed I get in a double front snap hook using just my harness.. The canopy will not invert and dive.

    Crossfire2, 97 loaded at 1.95+. I start the initial snap with full left front riser, half way through the turn "doesn't take long" I go into double fronts suspending ALL of my weight from the front risers "I do pullups all the time, the more I do and the stronger I get the longer I can hold in the dive. I started at 450 feet now I enter the turn at 600 feet". Conditioning makes a difference. Tucking my body up to create less drag. At this point I usually have twenty or thirty degrees left for the complete 180 so I just put a little more weight on the left front riser and the canopy flies in that direction. I have complete directional while inverted in double fronts. If ANYTHING happens on the ground or the air I can compensate rapidly. Rhino

    Agreed... Of course it depends on what flight characteristics you like from your canopy? Snappy turns? Hard dives? Toggle and riser pressure? What do you like? Rhino

    Bummer.. Why wouldn't it help a xf2??

    Does anyone know of this mod? Say if I wanted to crossbrace my canopies nose? Rhino

    Kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mouth.. In my opinion. It will take more strength to flare a bigger canopy than the one you have. Stick with the gear you have. At that loading you are plenty docile and you know your canopy. Just jump on days where you have a little wind so you don't have to work so hard.. Rhino

    Justice?

    rhino replied to Jayruss's topic in The Bonfire

    If it was your child that took it up the ass by this fucker your attitude would be different. And based on your post I would assume you don't have any children? Am I right? I think death was too nice of a punishment for that bastard. They should have tied him to a stake in the court yard and let the children stone him month after month year after year as their therapy. Stone him, let him heal.. Stone him let him heal. Let the children and the parents of the children get some WELL DISERVED PAYBACK!!!!!!!!!! Justice WAS served. Rhino

    Yep.. That should be the obvious part but thanks for mentioning it.. Rhino
