In a two stage flare about how much much toggle input should the first stage consume.
-
Are there any videos that explain Psycho Pack like there are for the PRO Pack technique( Packing like a PRO ). If not are there any on the web other than the 1 minute one at the Precision website that explain the procedure.
-
Are they called Poly prop or are there other names for it. Whats the difference between Poly prop and Capilene.
-
Wanted to know if Silk Thermals are as affective as poly - prop thermals for jumping during the winter in the NE. If not are they any good anyway considering they look really thin. Where can you get Poly-prop Balcalavas.
-
Is there a down side to Psycho pack as opposed to PRO pack.
-
Thanks everyone. Will try the techniques out. riggerrob your technique sure sound interesting. Hadn't heard of it.

I'm still learning to pack. I have a Talon 2, T-5 and I'm trying to squeeze a Triathalon 175 into it. When it comes time to squeeze the pack job into the bag it starts slipping and eventually I only get half it inside. Is this configuration slightly tough to pack for someone with no experience in packing or are there some tricks to it.
-
Sure thing, but I'll eventually have to get back to the NE and winter is not going away anytime soon.

Hi, I want to do some skydiving this winter in the North East region. Wanted to know what kind of clothing is required for all that cold. Are their any special gloves or will cycling gloves suffice. What about the helmet. Would I need a full face. And what else. Thanks.

Is landing into a stadium a tough thing considering there is so much of open space to come into. Why is it such a special thing. Shouldn't it be like a routine landing.
-
What advantage does the round parachute have over the square for the army to use the rounds for their static line jumps.
-
thanks everyone. I'm trying to learn PRO packing. At the moment I make quite mess of it but I guess I'll eventually get a hold on it.
-
Is there any difference in how these two techniques affect the canopy while opening. What are the pros and cons of these two techniques. Can both of them be used on a Triathlon 175 main.
-
What is the DOM of the Main and how many jumps does it have on it, whats the DOM of the Cypres.
-
Is the USPA A license accepted at dropzones in the UK and other parts of Europe for doing solo jumps.
-
Is it a fun experience to jump in the winter ( North East Area ) or is it uncomfortable considering the cold.
-
yup ! I wasn't getting any replies in this one so I went there.
-
how's the FT40. I have one that I got along with some gear that I bought.
-
I would be interested if you can find a copy. Thanks.

I have break away. As for "Body Flight" well, I was looking at it from the point of view of something that I can use to educate myself on the various maneuvers that are there and the techniques to do them. That way I have something specific to work on when I jump. Do you think it would help to that extent and more importantly does it cover enough skills and maneuvers. Do you have any other recommendation to be able to do the same.
-
snowflake, the book that you have, is it something that they give if you take a course at Skydive U or is it the one that is suppose to be with the video. Sounds like it's totally different from the one that is being described as a pamphlet.
-
What do you think about the Body Flight tape. Is it good.
-
Are there any good videos or books that teach new skills and drills to practice during your jumps once you are off AFF and looking to learn more about various maneuvers and their mechanics.
-
Is the book available without the video.
-
Thanks for your reply. When you say not bad do you mean you would recommend it to someone of student status and wanting to pick up more skills or do you think that the video is decent but is very basic and not all that substantial.
