I have about 650 jumps on a Star from 1975 to 78. I loved that 5 cell. Started out with the rings and ropes, then went to a spider slider. I had it short lined and the stabilizers slit for better control in deep brakes. Kicked more than few plates at the Florida Para council meets in '76.
I took about 25 years off and started jumping again a year ago. I didn't FEEL right on the 9 cells but the first jump I made on a Triathlon 160 I felt at home. Felt just like what I remember on the Star, only faster.
