Having a coworker tell of an incident in a very matter of fact way, but once he gets to the meat of the story, makes you go "Holy Shit!!!" But then seeing the photo makes your sphincter slam shut so hard a diamond would have been turned to dust. No animals or humans were seriously harmed in said incident, if it actually happened. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

One other benefit of using Brian Germain's method of folding the pilot chute is that if the pilot chute is not cocked, you won't be able to make the first fold. I once got sidetracked during packing and when I came back to finish, forgot to cock the PC. It wasn't until I was folding the PC that I realized my mistake. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

I have a Sabre1 135 and 150 loaded at 1.6/1.45 for WS. I have jumped the Sabre since getting my first rig and got used to what I consider a positive opening. Others might say hard if they are used to a Spectre's long snivel. Love them for their openings as they are normally on heading. If you have line twists, they tend to fly nice and stable without diving. I just shove the nose in a bit w/o rolling it. If you want a dedicated main on a tight budget, the Sabre1 is hard to beat. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

So I was at the flea market and came across some old gear. It was a '77 Wonderhog and '84 Rapid Transit, plus two balloon suits. For entertainment value, asked what he wanted for the rigs. I almost choked when he said $400 apiece. And $200 per balloon suit because the patches were collector items. Not knowing what was in the rigs, I offered $100 per on the off chance I might find something interesting inside. What can I say, I'm a gear whore. After chatting him up, he admitted he bought out a storage unit and had no idea what their real value was. He said he found what he could on the internet for value. He eventually let me paw through them. They were last repacked in '95. Even after I determined the main and reserve on the hog and explained anyone that knew gear would take them for free but not pay for them, and those that didn't know what they were wouldn't offer anything. I told him he should have taken my first offer. I said I'd give him $100 for both and offered some for the balloon suits, but he still didn't budge on the price. I did determine the original owner as Roger Day. So if you happen to know of him, his gear is available at the Coliseum Flea Market. So, what type of gear have you come across being sold by unknowing whuffos? 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I agree with this as well. A Sabre 1 also makes a great WS canopy and you can pick them up really cheap. The last two I got were for $300 each. Picked up a D-bag, PC and risers for $140. Now I can switch mains at will. Did I mention I'm a gear whore? 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

Now that finally was explained well enough fer us idjuts. The only place the female is used is INSIDE the camera. I doubt you will find the female as a separate plug. If you do, it is most like on the end of an extension that has the male as well. Good luck. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I had a conversation with someone about how many jumps someone should have to be the rider on a birdeo. For the sake of the discussion, let's say the bird is a coach or instructor and allowed to jump with pre A students. What do you think is a reasonable jump number to take a newer jumper on a birdeo? I have my set idea, but might adjust depending on results. What do you use as a baseline? All the poll numbers are based on USPA requirements. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

All kidding aside, it was a hoot to finally meet Twardo. He and Chuck put on a nice demo. If you haven't had a chance to sit and listen to the old man tell a story, you are missing a real treat. I long ago offered to buy the beer, and finally had the chance to make good. It was funny as I offered to pack for Twardo, Chuck said he wouldn't accept. I was surprised when Twardo let me do it. But I got $10 bucks that says he pulls it out and repacks it. But it won't go in the bag as easily. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

I don't know how he does it. He makes it known he will be doing a demo jump to open the airshow at an airport about 2 1/2 hours from where I live. For some unknown reason, I get the uncontrollable urge to go see him in action. When I should be doing important chores instead. It's as if I lost my free will. So, after making the long drive, I take up a spot right behind the rope barrier to get an upclose view of the landing area. Wow, I have to admit it was worth the drive. The show was fantastic with Twardo spiraling down trailing smoke and his partner flying a huge flag, all the while being encircled by an acrobatic pilot flying close around both. It brought a patriotic tear to my eye. And to top it off, there was a wind shift just as he turned for final making it a downwinder. He handled it with such skill as only an expert and professional skydiver could do. I would have to drop down on one knee in the hopes to be able to match it. But back to the mind control. After he had worked the crowd, we onlookers followed him to one of the tents in the hopes of gleaning some of the knowledge he had acquired over the MANY years he has been in the sport. It was becoming clear that after holding court for some time, he had become parched do to the tales he had just bestowed upon us. And here's where that mind control came in. I found myself not only offering to drive him to the liquor store so he could quench his thirst, but actually buying him said frosty beverages. But wait, there's more of his cranial contorting handy work. Once we arrived at the park where he and his team mate were to pack their rigs and flag, I offered to pack his rig for him. I hate packing, and yet I found myself volunteering to attempt to control the newish and slippery main he had just jumped. He is an evil genius. It wasn't until after I finished that he informed me that the main was a 210 and the d bag was sized for a 170. So beware of this mind controlling menace. You might just find yourself becoming a chauffeur, bar tender and pack bitch. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
