  1. Over 400 jumps on Sabres from 170 down to 135. Never been spanked. I do load the 135 at 1.6 and had a small pocket put on it to make it a tad softer. I feel Sabres make fine canopies. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  2. Bill, Bruno has jumped his camera set up into the hole. So have a few others. They would dry bag it and they didn't have any problems. The retrieval boat is really fast at getting jumpers out of the water. I don't think anyone on our load popped their flotation belt. Being it is salt water and with the reserve, you stay very buoyant. Also helps to land real close. My pilot chute almost landed in the boat. But for pure comfort level, I'd say GoPro as well. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  5. No need to buy a full roll. Get some from your rigger. You can also use gutted 550 cord. I did buy a whole roll and give away free closing loops to whomever needs one. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity

  19. The replies given on here by the ASSHOLES are usually in response to a couple of common posts. A new member asks a question that has been asked and answered many times. If by simply using the search function, all the info is there for them to read. After a while, the question of "what is the best rig", "I have 10 jumps and want to mount a GoPro...", "where is the safest place to do AFF" gets a reply by said ASSHOLES to do a search or some other deserved snarky response because it appears that the OP was just too lazy to do their own research and read what is there. I have been guilty of that once or twice. The other example is typically of a newer jumper with mad skilz that wants to do something without the jumps/experience to provide the actual skill needed, i.e flying a camera, wingsuit or high performance canopy. They have been told at their DZ not to do it, but come on here hoping someone will tell them it will be OK. The stodgy oldfarts say no with a well thought out reply and the OP gets pissy and continues to ask "but why, I gotz mad skilz". Eventually those nice replies get replaced by a dope slap instead. Guilty of that as well. Skydiving is a sport that even when you do everything right, you can still die. Add in pushing the limits and things can go bad fast. Unfortunately, there are too many examples of jumpers that pushed the limits of their skills after being warned here and suffered the consequences. So if it sounds like we are assholes at times, we just might be. But I'd rather be an asshole in the hopes they wise up, instead of participating in their ash dive. There are examples on here and at the DZ of jumpers where their ego has grown too big and has become a skygod in their own mind. There are so many more helpful experienced folks that enjoy helping new jumpers. You just need to walk past the guy puffing his chest out and ask that quiet guy for help. The ASSHOLE answer reply would be "Suck it up cup cake". 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
  20. The sushi is fantastic. Have a little hole in the wall joint where two people can gut out on realy good sushi for $40 including tip. And the WS/PG/HG is pretty good too. 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity
