    Is the harness properly adjusted as well? Throw me to the sky becuase I know I'm coming back - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    Same difference !! You know what I meant

    That thing looks scary !! Think I'll stick with vectors

    i think the idea is that it's easier to pull the slider down, and it stops wear on the grommits. Throw me to the sky becuase I know I'm coming back - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    How much difference does using booties make? I've done a couple of WARP jumps without booties and can fly ok without them, but I would like to hear everyone's opinions on them so I know what to expect. Throw me to the sky becuase I know I'm coming back - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    I just jump with a pair of leather baseball gloves - I find they keep things warm and still retain a lot of feeling. Throw me to the sky becuase I know I'm coming back - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    The service at L&B is fantastic - just try sending them an email and you'll get a reply within 20 minutes. A friend of mine lost his pro-track due to risers, and L&B replaced it free of charge. Can't say better than that !!

    You can also go into brakes, and look at a spot on the ground in front of you. If that spot appears to be moving up, you will land before that spot. If it goes down, you will overshoot that spot. Make small adjustments to brakes / risers and see what happens. I think this is the best way to find the best brake / toggle settings for that canopy on that particular day.

    Does anybody jump with one of these? What do you think about it? What's the sound transmission like using a Pro-Track? Cheers Throw me to the sky becuase I know I'm coming back - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    I normally jump with a gecko, but due to a dodgy chin strap, I had to use the DZ's pro-tec helmets this weekend. I was really surprised that my Pro-Track fitted perfectly in the ear hole - you don't need to mount it in the holder at all, as it fits straight into the ear hole. The sound transmission is really good as well - I found it better than my gecko !! Throw me to the sky becuase I know I'm coming back - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    I'm only on jump 57 now, but I'm planning on doing a hop'n'pop from max (don't fancy a naked jump !!!). Have a good one ! Throw me to the sky becuase I know I'm coming back - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    When I cleaned my aircare suit, I just got my parents to clean it for me - came up good as new !! I recomend them any time !!!

    There's 2 main ways of getting your A licence - you can do a static line course which involves less money but takes a bit longer to do. Or there's AFF which most people do now where you jump from Max altitude with 2 instructors holding onto you to correct your body position etc. Talk to your local DZ to find out more or there's plenty of stuff on this great website.

    What about the slogan from Gladiator? (Every man dies, not everyman lives). Maybe it should be 'person' as it's more PC. BPA - A102345 Gravity doesn't exisit - the Earth just sucks !!!

    I was at Hinton Skydiving Centre in the UK, and to start with, I thought that it was just an accident cos the plane was a passenger jet etc. Then the 2nd one hit and and I just couldn't believe what had happened !! BPA - A102345 Gravity doesn't exisit - the Earth just sucks !!!

    I'm getting a sabare soon and the first thing I'm going to do is put a tandem slider on it !! BPA - A102345 Gravity doesn't exisit - the Earth just sucks !!!

    As far as I'm aware there's no problems with taking a rig on as hand luggage, but if you have a CyPReS it's a god idea to tell them in advance. Also, I've heard that some airlines won't let you sit in certain places (like next to doors) if you have a rig with you. If you get bored in the flight, I reccomend putting on your rig and a pilots uniform and run down the plane screaming - it's got to be worth a laugh !!

    Go and kick their ass !!! They've confirmed they've had the payment, therefore they owe you one suit. No doubt about it. BPA - A102345 http://www.skydiveupsc.com
