    I'm no where near an experienced packer but I jump a pilot 150 and a I4 and that damn bag just seems soooooo small. I've had quite a few experienced packers that have packed for me (to include a master rigger) and they said the same thing. Hell, I even had the company check the bag to make sure it was an I4 bag. If you do it...good luck, its going to be VERY tight. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

    Sounds good for your trip to emp. Let me check my work schedule and I may be attending. I'll PM you tomorrow and let you know. I'm also planning a trip to emp a little earlier...hope some of you can make it then too. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

    It couldnt have worked any better. It was the best launch and 3 way we have ever done. What an experience. Hell, to complicate it even more we decided to switch our positions on the ride up too. What a great jump. There is plenty of room in that itty bitty door, you just have to be a little creative.

    Never knew that. Guess I have another option now. Watch out all, something was ACTUALLY learned on DZ.com and it wasnt "ask your damn instructor". SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

    Skydiving...and other canopy related jumps Scuba (not really extreme unless you count the shark dives) White Water Rafting Rock Climb Downhill Mt. Biking and Urban Assault Snow Skiing (double blacks and uncharted) I do these actively year round so I lose very little of the edge (experience) on any of them. If you take a whole year off any you end up losing way too much. Billy SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

    I've noticed a lot of people switching over to firefox and wondering the benefits or using one over the other. v/r Billy SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

    Thanks for posting Merkur. Didnt think about just putting all the info on my post...I was taking the lazy way out. Billy SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

    Actually this has just all changed as of today (due to the recent activity at the airport) and I would ask a moderator to make this sticky for a while. There will be NO carry on bags authorized on flights from US to UK and vice/versa. All bags will be checked to include nothing is to be carried in pockets. Only thing allowed as carryone is your identification (wallet/purse) and what is on person. Also NO fluids will be authorized either (even if its medication). I'll try to post the notification I just received on this but having issues making it small enough to fit. If a moderator would like to PM me their addy I will attach and foward.

    I wear receivers gloves (football) for the grip and minor warmth at altitude. Easier to hold on the the plane before exit, and less wear and tear on my hands when I get on the rears. Its also a comfort thing for me, when I jump without them it just doesnt feel right. So even on those HOT days, gloves are on.

    Thanks for the info. I didnt realize there were so many line options. Well, I fly a pilot so I guess I'm sending my next message to Aerodyne to see what they recommend for new lines. Then hopefully they come in something besides white. SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

    Its about that time to buy new lines and I have a couple questions. What lines are better? Is there an option for colored lines (instead of white)? If so, does white have any advantages over colored lines? Whats an average price for a reline?

    OOOOO, trade secret. Guess you'll have to actually jump with us sometime to find that out. All I can say is that apparently, AFF here in the UK teaches "tracking AWAY" just a little different.
