  1. My friend has a Zp-EXE 170, and it was spanking him quite a lot when new. He used to psycho pack it to try and calm it down. Now it's broken in a bit, he just standard pro-packs it. Perhaps this canopy just bites when it's new? Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian

  4. Congrats dude. I got a long time to wait until I get my degree. You could, but not everyone would understand you Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  5. That maybe true, especially with the newer ZP Mantas, but the ones I flew on student status were shagged out and needed a "solid" 1 stage to get a nice landing. Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  6. No such thing !! At least, not at our dz I prefer the term "functional". Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  7. Just thinking about when I get a camera, will I be able to mount it to my Z1 and keep the visor? What sort of mount is recommended? Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian

  12. You'll still get noticed at the dz with it - how many people there drive crappy cars so they can have a nice rig?
  13. Never really liked them, although if someone offered me a 996 GT3 I wouldn't refuse.
  14. I don't be wanting no sloppy-seconds either !! Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian

  20. This is where you're too rigid in freefall, and you "rock" backwards and forwards - try dropping a piece of paper and see what happens. Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  21. I think it would be a good idea HH. As long as it is used for the right reasons. Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  22. You can get a TearDrop or Zerox one from Thomas Sports Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  23. On smaller canopies with more performance, you need a "2 stage" flare. The first part is pulling the toggles down to get the canopy to "plane out" ie. eliminate the vertical descent. Then, the 2nd part of the flare is to eliminate the horizontal speed. Canopys like Mantas etc are so large they need a 1 stage flare ie. all the way down at once. Have a look at the experienced jumpers at your DZ and watch them landing (and talk to them as well). What size canopy are you flying, and at what wingloading? Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
  24. Would this be the first time you posted this about your beer in the last hour? That's a crate of beer !! Ook Ook Ook !! - The Librarian
