That is if I make it to my flight in the morning. Tonight there is a huge after party for all the base jumpers at one of the posh nightclubs downtown, and there is free booze all night!!!! Let's see. Free booze and Vader. So, what is KL's policy on pulbic nudity? Need some bail money? 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I funnelled Airspeed… …in a restaurant! Bwahahaha that was hilarious! Sitting across from you, wondering why you're leaning all funny onto SkySprite, then BAM, you're on the floor, almost taking Eliana with you. Since she was sitting with a different group it's like you funneled Airspeed from another skydive altogether! Well played, mate. Those were fun times. And when I was trying to make room around you, you slowly come to and the look on your face of, "Why am I down here under the table and why are you looking at me like that?" 50 donations so far.

As the main risers go bye-bye, the still connected RSL could get hooked on something you want to keep as the cutaway main goes away. Some containers have a Collins lanyard which connects the two risers. If the RSL is connected, the lanyard could choke off the reserve as the connected risers slide up the lines of the reserve.

Taking an OP terminal is surprisingly not that hard of an opening. My scale of what I consider a hard opening might be a bit skewed as I have a lot of jumps on Sabres loaded anywhere from 1.2-1.6 and think a long sniveling canopy is a mal that eventually clears. I have demo'd a PD-R and an OP loaded at 1.5, both at sub and terminal. The PD-R definitely was much more brisk compared to the OP. The first jump on the OP was sub terminal and it was a great opening. Soft and relatively slow. Second jump on it was at terminal after a 10 second delay out of a KA. The opening was brisk, but not hard. The opening "shock" was staged throughout the entire deployment. What impressed me even more than the opening, was how nice it flared. I'm glad I took it terminal so I would know what to expect if I ever have to do so. Rather do it first in a very controlled situation instead of it being my only and last option. YMMV I was so happy with the demo, I bought one. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

You never jumped a tandem as a student, will you do it for free now?

Have riden on the front twice for friends that either needed to get recurrent or complete their training. And yes, it feels weird not having a rig on. Had fun with both on the ride up joking if I was going to be a good student or a rag doll from hell. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity -
Canopy control and landing patterns
monkycndo replied to LookUpHigh's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
S turns are only to be used when you have screwed the pouch and have to land in a specific spot to keep from getting injured. Once you are in the pattern, fly a consistent and predictable pattern. Just like everyone else should be doing. By their nature, S turns screw up the pattern for everyone else because no one but you knows what the hell you are about to do. The jumper behind you now has to adjust to an obstacle that you have now become by flying S turns across the pattern. Never a good thing to do. If you are going to overshoot your target and not get hurt doing so, overshoot and adjust on your next landing. But do not S turn. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Integrity of USPA Records in Question!
monkycndo replied to Buried's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I am impressed. Purple Mike is so bad ass he is flying in front of the base. That either takes mad skilz or a rear facing parascope. All hail Purple Mike. Either that or he is actually flying his usual rock solid base and this is something to be looked into. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity -

Weight pockets on the container are another option. This has benefits in that the weight is carried as part of the container instead of on your body during deployment. Also, if you are ever unlucky to have a water landing, you don't have to worry about dumping the weights, once you are out of the rig, the weights are gone too. See if you can have your container modified. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I use the same method you use to pack the PC. Two things I do to try to eliminate the problem you had. After I stow the bridle into the PC and fold/roll the PC on the container, I stand up over the top of the container and roll it on its side so the mouth of the BOC is facing up. I then make sure to rotate the rolled PC so that the bridle is against the bottom of the container when the PC is put into the BOC. The bridle does not cross over the mouth of the BOC, but sits tight against the container so I can tuck it into the protector flap. Any excess bridle can be tucked up under the protector flap or the right side main flap of the container. I don't shove the extra into the BOC. When I pitch, there is nothing in the way of the PC to cause it to bunch up. Second, I beat the bujesus out of the PC once it is in the BOC to make it as flat as possible. The mouth of the BOC is flat, and I want the PC to be the same shape so it can come out as easily as possible when I deploy. YMMV 50 donations so far. Give it a try.
