  5. The pocket is mounted on the front for other than having access to the lines that collapse the slider. Slowing the opening is done two ways. Keeping the slider against the stops until the inflating canopy forces the slider down the lines. The pocket on the nose of the slider will slightly deflect some of the air entering the nose of the canopy, when combined with the increased drag of the pocket holding the slider against the stops, keeps the canopy snivelling longer and the opening is softer. 50 donations so far.

  6. VSE does not offer a MARD. I love my Infinity and the service that Kelly and his crew has provided. Just look at my sigline. I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  8. Yup, I owe for my first airshow demo. What can I say, I can't refuse when the aged ask "are you available"? The jumps went great and it was a cool sight to see the Pitts circling around the two of us. The first two days were hotter than hell and the final day was a bit windy. But as a demo should be, it was on time and on target. And no generators were harmed during the performance. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  12. Maybe when you've personally seen a few generations move through the sport it will make sense. Let's see, there was baby boomers, gen X, and who knows what the fuck the current generation is being called. Calling the current crop of skydivers the GoPro generation is accurate. They have not known anything else but having a GoPro. I have only been in the sport 8+ years and am starting to feel like an old fart. [pulls dentures out] Back in the day, you use to have to do some research about cameras, buy a helmet that was camera compatible, drill a bunch of holes, mount a bracket or box, redrill drill holes because you didn't get the angle right, buy a Hypeye from Trunk, and finally try your handy work.[/puts dentures back in] Now you just fucking peel-n-stick, no knowledge required. Some of the best learnin' I was ever given was listening to Bryan around the bonfire, either at Eloy or LP. For you youngin's that have not had that opportunity, you have so much of "you don't know what you don't know" just waiting to be brought to your attention. sigh, the troll is still getting us to take the bait. 50 donations so far.

  14. Andy, the canopy was used exactly as intended. Heavily loaded to swoop. The problem was the pilot had no reason to be on that type of wing at his jump numbers. The fact that the manufacturer sponsored him says they condone/support such actions of " using their product in any idiotic manner". If he was not sponsored, would he have been on that canopy if he had to go through the effort to get one from a dealer or second hand seller? If DZOs are the answer, why did someone injure them self so badly at your DZ of choice? There is no one answer. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  15. Honest question. When you practice your plane out at altitude, how accurate are you? To within how many feet? Because the difference between a killer swoop and a double femur is only a few feet. The only way to learn your sight picture is being close to mother earth. And that just takes jumps and those last 15 seconds. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  16. I was taught to lead by example. If you don't want people to jump a wing that is lightyears above their skill set, don't sponsor a jumper that has absolutely no reason to be jumping a xbraced wing. In this day in age of cool videos on you tube, no one sees the hundreds of jumps it took to master that jump that got posted. And some punk ass newb thinks they can do it on their first try.

  18. I think this is an example of the changing times of the GoFast-YouTube-Immediate Gratification generation. At the 2005 Holiday Boogie, I remember a jumper just under 500 jumps wanting to demo a XF. He had to almost negotiate with the rep to get one at just under 500 jumps. And now a 400 jump tunnel wunderkind is factory sponsored on a xbraced canopy. Guess if you don't catch them young, you might lose these kids interest to some other brand. 50 donations so far.

  19. There is a wise woman on here that spoke about being nervous. It is very common to have butterflies in your stomach. Don't fight them. The secret is to get them all flying in the same direction.
  20. Consider renting a sod cutter. Completely removes the grass and leaves no chemical residue. Fill in the recess with some soil to level it out the depression from the removed sod . The grass will eventually fill back in. But it can be held at bay for quite a while by just a quick use of a weed eater. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

  25. I have jumped Sabres for years. I love them for wingsuiting. If you have one that opens a bit too briskly, I suggest a pocket and I'm sure Rory can hook you up. If you are due for a reline, I suggest going coated HMA. The added friction of the lines will slow the slider ever so slightly for a much better opening. MEL (masterrigger1) or Pete (PeteS) can make you a line set. Have had great luck with those two options. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
