    Hmm, I do that... I think I'm gonna have to go up and do some intentional attempted turning stalls of my canopy to see how it reacts to this stuff... I've done the normal stalls, know what that limit is, but never thought of turning stalls.. I dont know that I have much risk of a 90 deg. stall though, since I've done multiple 360s pretty hard on the toggles with no problems.. FGF #??? I miss the sky...

    http://www.skydivingmovies.com/ver2/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=205 OK That just made top 5 of videos my family are never, ever seeing. Scary stuff (but an extremely lucky dude). Cant imagine how stressful that had to be for not only the jumper, but the pilot of the plane and the (DZO?) who made the final call to land.. edited to add: and his father.... FGF #???

    If you beat your RSL, your EP's were probably out of sequence. Blues, Dave Never said I beat it, but I had it pulled before I felt the reserve.. The pin was pulled before I got to it (as evident by the kicked cable that I pulled) .. Difference between beating it and having it pulled before feeling the reserve deploy. I used the two hand on one handle method for the first one and the one hand on each handle for the second.. Either way the RSL didnt really make a difference in my outcomes. Funny thing about the first one though is that I did delay a little bit, seems like it took a little time for the rsl deployed reserve to get out, but that may have been because I was spinning on my back. Considering that I consiously thought about turning back to belly before pulling silver, it's all a blur on that one I guess That handle was lost, so no kick to look at.

    I consider it a "backup" because it is a backup to me not performing my procedures correctly or fast enough. Not that I"m really concerned about this (I dont jump RSL anymore, until I get my new Vector III w/ skyhook that was ordered this week anyway ) Both of my chops, I had the reserve D-Ring in my hand (or thrown) before I felt the reserve, both of those jumps had a RSL... It was infact a backup. One that I didnt need. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    *whew* You know, taken out of context... Speaking of Otay, time for me to get ready for some jumpin today FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
  9. nate_1979
    At Otay? NO.. I would never suck down that low at Otay, and it has to be one hell of a jump for me to suck down that far anywhere for that matter... Those were at a boogie doing larger (for me) RW w/ a set 2500ft deployment altitude. FGF #??? I miss the sky...

    Nice.,.. so you got any pictures from the actual jump? FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
  11. nate_1979
    Yup, I have one pro-track entry that indicates a 1700ft deployment, another one says 1600ft... I assure you I did not "deploy" at 1600ft FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    Few from my home state, South Dakota.... It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory. Movies that show police officers being struck, beaten, or treated in an offensive manner are forbidden. 10-year prison term for "copulation by means of mouth." There's an odd law governing beds in all Sioux Falls, South Dakota, hotels. Every room is required to have twin beds. And these twin beds must always be a minimum of two feet apart when a couple rents a room for only one night. And it's illegal to make love on the floor between the beds. Prostitutes in South Dakota are still prohibited from plying their trade out of a covered wagon. If there are more than 5 Native Americans on your property you may shoot them. In Spearfish, South Dakota If three or more Indians are walking down the street together, they can be considered a war party and fired upon. FGF #??? I miss the sky...
