Stretch! that helps too, no matter how few jumps u are doing. At least then u dont get the aches the next 2 days after jumping. ------------------ --------- "Life is an adventure, dare it" Mother Teresa.

I am in the BPA ( UK Skydiving Governing body) and in order to fly in the tunnel, we had to produce our BPA memberships and medical certs. I think this is just to prove you are fit to fly and arent going to keel over! our medical certs here in the UK are signed by ourselves up until we are 40yrs old then we have to get a doctors signature. These are BPA rules. I cant speak for any other country tho..If you ring aerokart, they will clarify this. hope this helps ------------------ --------- "Life is an adventure, dare it" Mother Teresa.

I too own a sabre 135, I have also owned a 150 and a 170! Can u see a trend here?!?!?... I like them alot, have never had one hard opening on mine, only maybe a "different" opening when someone else had packed it for me! And yeah I agree with most of these posts in saying its all in the packing. Deffo! I roll the nose and the tail. I have had superb openings from my sabre. In fact I am reluctant to buy anything else at the moment cos I like it so much. Only prob is I am putting loads of jumps onto it so will have to upgrade soon. If its a bargain and its history is right then I would say buy it, get someone to check it out first though just to be sure as per usual. If you do get it, then get some packing tips from your rigger or a packer at your drop zone, see if that helps. ----------------------- --------- "Life is an adventure, dare it" Mother Teresa.

sure, you can check their webpage http://www.aerokart.fr/ The tunnel is only open a few days in the week but if you were to email or ring for info, their offices are open all week. They are really friendly, we went there last november. The facilities are great. The local area doesnt have much about it though so only going for a day or two is recomended. But hey, paris is good for visiting too! ------------ --------- "Life is an adventure, dare it" Mother Teresa.

The Green one looks fab! we are soooo excited about it all ------------------------- --------- "Life is an adventure, dare it" Mother Teresa.

I like my factory Diver because its so comfortable and warm on those not so warm days. But I do agree with the downside of it misting up if theres any moisture around, a jump not so long ago I was going thru cloud and it misted up bad, I couldnt see hardly anything under canopy and had to peer thru the gap where the visor sits over the mouth vent. That wasnt so nice. I have done over 150 jumps with it on tho and it doesnt happen that often. I am considering getting one with a flip up visor, but open face- no way jose. Full face is the best.
