When i first started learning to sit fly i always went in shorts and a tshirt. I had such a hard time getting into my sit. I was never stable so i asked around about how to become more stable. Everyone told me to wear tight pants and baggy longsleve shirt. I did that for a few jumps but i just couldn't get into my sit at all. Recently i bought a pair of Tonysuit swoop pants that only went down to my mid-calfs. I went and made a jump in those and a t-shirt and i stuck my sit. I have used them ever sence and my stability is so much greater. It seems that it is bassackward from what all experienced people told me. Why is that? it seems that the pants would make it harder but i t was easier for me.

I have been a packer for about 9 months and have learned alot. I mean ALOT not only from our DZO but he is also a rigger.Not only that out Chief Packer is a Rigger in training. I have had a cut away from leaving to much line creating a tension know.I wasnt a horrible mal but the jumper didnt feel like he could steer propely.And i have packed my gear(DZ rental gear) with really short stows and have regretted it.I found when i have the last stow pullin out when i put it in the bag i get SLAM openings and a few line twist before i even open.. But i also jump a orignal Sabre, so slams are not unusual.i belive that 12'-18' is the right way. But thats my opinion.
