RSL on high performance canopies
packing_jarrett replied to Fast1's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I think its because some RSL's are on the right riser while the camera is on the left side. If the left riser gets hung up on your helmet while the right riser with rsl on it doesn't, it will deploy your reserve into your main. *maybe* Na' Cho' Cheese -
Just do it your self. Buy an old container. Cut the container off of it. Sew a stash bag on. Don't forget to take out the housings. But leave the cutaway housings in. I tacked down the reserve risers but I might just cut them off on my next harness. Well thats what I did anyways. Na' Cho' Cheese

when I was doing my WS training. I was being coached through with a throat mic. It worked well. Especially for the slower airspeeds. The only problem is when your up that high you will pick up a lot of other stuff. And while in freefall you'd here Joe Blow talking to Mr. Huck Bob, so it would be hard to hear your coach or what ever. You'd probably need like a private frequency or something. Na' Cho' Cheese

How many jumps is considered half life on a canopy?
packing_jarrett replied to DocJames's topic in Gear and Rigging
depends on how well you take care of it. But I'd say these days about 850 jumps half life and people will retire their canopy at around 2000 jumps. Just my opinion Na' Cho' Cheese -
Dude you got a "newer" container than mine. My container was made when I was only 2 yrs old. Consider yourself lucky to have a container that new Na' Cho' Cheese

Why is this NOOB PMing me?
packing_jarrett replied to HookItLow's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
well if... **you don't turn low to the ground **flare at the appropriate time/ sequence **know how to deal with the extra malfunctions that come with a more HP canopy ... Then you'll be fine. Edit: Obviously you always have to do those. Na' Cho' Cheese -
How would you land down hill???
packing_jarrett replied to stayhigh's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I've been using a Monarch 135 for GLing and its been working out ok. but I'm doing a kiting technique and the Monarch will Kite pretty easy... my stiletto seems to kite way way way easier. Before I go try my stiletto (120) I'm asking if it makes a good intermediate GL canopy. It would seem to be good because it has a flat glide. Opinions??? Na' Cho' Cheese -
So, You just won the lottery...
packing_jarrett replied to FlyingJarhead's topic in Gear and Rigging
HA! Nice. I've heared lots of mixed reviews on the PD RDS. The weight of the rings helps keep the sliders shape but if they're heavy then IMO it would make it open faster. Na' Cho' Cheese -

Mindwarps and still cameras
packing_jarrett replied to packing_jarrett's topic in Photography and Video
I went ahead with the flat top mod thing. Its pretty sweet. The pictures seem to have the illusion that it sits up way off my head but its pretty flush with my helmet. Na' Cho' Cheese -

convincing the parents
packing_jarrett replied to IcarusNeededAAD's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It is expensive if your not in the sport. But if you hang out at the dropzone and get a job at the DZ then its really cheap (relatively speaking). For me I learned how to pack parachutes. 5 pack jobs got me one student jump. Now 2 pack jobs will get me up in the air. Na' Cho' Cheese -
Advice to new swoppers aka baby swoopers
packing_jarrett replied to airborne82nd's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
you serial? I'm sorry thats sounds gay to me. Back when swooping was getting starting they didn't have digital alti's. Instead they use mental sight pictures to get their altitudes right. Even today people use sight and aren't playing the RR. I do agree that digital alti's definitely make swooping much easier. But I wouldn't/ didn't use one to start out with. Na' Cho' Cheese -
Stiletto 150 to Xfire 139 (what to expect)
packing_jarrett replied to matt3sa's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
having made similar down size. (stiletto 120- xfire 99) was the recovery arc. Dude you need to start your turns much much higher on the crossfire than on the stiletto Na' Cho' Cheese -

Mindwarps and still cameras
packing_jarrett replied to packing_jarrett's topic in Photography and Video
Yeah if it comes down to that I'll get one. But to ask another question can I just get a quick release and mount all by itself on my helmet. **or even simply just drill a hole at the top and glue some washers with no mounts. As far as mounting still cameras I have no idea. Na' Cho' Cheese
