    Cypress didnt save him though, he already pulled the ripcord for the reserve, .... He got a bit low, but he had enough altitude to safetly deploy his reserve.. I think that policy was ment to cover those who would have bounced had the cypress not fired. But I could be wrong FGF #??? I miss the sky...

    I find it hard to believe that someone collapsed half your slider,. ... and even if they did, you should definately notice that when you quarter it (if you dont, well.....) FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    Well, I dunno, a deployment altitude of 0 on a full altitude skydive is, well, kinda insane FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    :3:1 3 Jumps: 1 pull at 8k and 2 H&Ps from aprox. 3k It was a "me and my canopy" day since I got me new Safire 2 189 First two jumps sucked, but the last one we got the brakes set where they should be, and the thing flew MUCH better... Good weekend, even though I couldnt jump sunday FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    That actually made me laugh... really dumb, but funny...

    Well, the first step is to start believing that you can do it, because you can... Once you accept that, the rest will come to you with a little practice and coaching. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    I really do still think you should give it a couple more tries... New gear takes a little time to get used to, and a flare can be fixed. FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    I was just scared... really scared.... When asked if I was ready to make a skydive, my response was "I dunnno, I'd better be!" FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    Here ya go.. It's all ready to ship to you (or VSE) .... Myself and my rigger also hung the canopy up and did an inspection to note any damage today.. You'll be happy to know that the canopy's still in good condition FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

    UPDATE: My rigger hooked it up, I packed it (only took me TWO tries!!! Actually, I found this NEW SLIPPERY as shit canopy easy as hell to pack!! Guess I got used to it on my old canopy,. .. On the second attempt, it only took me about 20-25 minutes to get the packjob done, really happy about that!) It's ready to jump... My rigger and myself did decide not to pack the popcorn, lighter, movies, software, and cardboard box into my container... FGF #??? I miss the sky...
