    You know what I wasn't there, maybe the grounding seems harsh, but he did what he felt was right for the safety of everyone involved. Even if we don't like their decisions, they are the ones looking out for our safety. Muff Brother 3723

    Mike it was wrong that they grounded you for an accident, something that wasn't your fault, and something that hasn't happened before. If it is who I think it is, he's the kind of guy that is over-reacts, like putting a 50 jump min. restriction on a load that has a student! Muff Brother 3723

    Avoid the water, its an expensive landing LOL, I didn't land in the water, but a cypres that is available for me to buy did! Muff Brother 3723

    If a cypres 1 happens to find its way into the swoop pond, then goes to SSK for its 4 year, will it return ok? I've heard that water will fry the cypres 1 but it went to the manufacterer...will it work? Muff Brother 3723

    Sunday is supposed to be nice, I can't wait, I can only afford to one more jump before I go to Fla. I'm going to Zhills and I got budget for about 10 jumps next weekend! Who knows maybe when I come back I'll have my B lisence Muff Brother 3723

    I love that Nav. 200, its very forgiving! Soon I'm going to be using a Hornet 190. I jumped a Sabre 2, that was a 190. The sport rig is definately different. When I turned with the wind I really felt the difference! Also, be aware (cause I freaked for a second when I went to pull) the pilot will probebly be CONSIDERABLY tighter and will take more effort to get out. I went to pull on the Sabre, and first attempt it felt stuck! I thought "OH F*CK!" took a breath and tried again and it came out. Sport rigs that are 'freefly safe' have good tight spandex, and the pilot is a little harder to extract, compared to that Nav. Muff Brother 3723

    When I was in elementary school, I was in the school band, at the winter concert. Nervous and excited waiting for the curtain to open...the boy sitting next to me (annoying, obnoxious turd) decided to show me his latest prize, he held his hand out in front of my face and there was a GIANT blood streaked blob of slimmy green boog/snot in his hand! Then he proceded to eat it like a raw oyster! I nearly lost it right there as the curtain opened!!! Muff Brother 3723

    Its a sunday, holiday weekend, warm and beautiful outside, so why aren't you jumping? I'm not jumping because it is my hubby's turn to do what he wants to do, he chose paintball and I get to watch the babies...but as soon as he gets home I'm on my way to the dz for 1 quick hit Muff Brother 3723

    Help

    huka551 replied to huka551's topic in Gear and Rigging

    How do you know (specifically when buying used gear) what would be considered a lot of jumps for a canopy to have on it? And what is reasonable? For example: Is it ok to get a zero P with 800 jumps on it? Muff Brother 3723
  16. huka551
    How does a newbie looking to buy a used canopy tell the diffence when there are so many different brands? Triathalon, Hornet, Sabre, Spectre, I know everyone will have an opinion about the one they personally use, but how would someone know about the specific reputation for a particular one (like does it open hard?)

    What does gear rental run at your home dz? For the day and per jump? Muff Brother 3723

    What are some components of freefly safe gear? I know most new rigs are, but what would someone getting an older rig look for? Muff Brother 3723
  22. huka551
    I made my first jump since I did tandems without my double lined baggy jumpsuit, and I felt like I was naked! I see lots of jumpers go in shorts or don't wear a helmet, what do you wear? Muff Brother 3723

    I got a 92' Jav. Container, it looks in decent shape, how would you know if it is too old to use? Is there such thing? What are some things to pay attention to with older gear? Muff Brother 3723

    Are most or all sport rigs free fly safe? Muff Brother 3723
  25. huka551
    Why is student gear so different then sport rigs? I understand safety issues, but at my dz the only rental gear is student gear. I attempted to sit fly and was sternly warned against doing it in rental/student gear due to bridal protection and risk of premature deployment. So why don't they have regular sport rigs to rent?
