  1. I called my folks to tell them I was fine on two separate fatalities. Other than that I keep them in the dark. I used to tell my sister what was goin on at the DZ, till she told my folks when I piled in on a night jump. Now I keep the family out of the DZ loop. I got nuthin

    OUCH!!!!!

    Well, I knew when I was buying a Sabre I was probably in for the occasional slammer. 50 jumps on it later, I was pretty pumped on the fact that I hadn't had one. Then, this morning I went from terminal to under canopy in about a second. I got some whip-lash goin, and my back is just Fuicked. Lesson learned: Care in packing is more important than your buddies rushing you to get on the next load!!! I got nuthin
  12. Will do Bill, I'm hopefully goin to see it next week... Blue Skies Harry I got nuthin
  13. So last night I finally got around to packing my rig (or started to) the first time since the jump I posted about here. I couldn't finish cause I'm out of, you guessed it, TUBE STOWS, of which two were broken on my D-bag. They were the last and third last stows (from the packing side, first and third from the opening side) ie. non-closing stows. Is it possible that this is connected to the bag-lock? I got nuthin
  14. "I've never seen so many hookers in all my life" I got nuthin
  15. The day I did my FJC we got weathered out, and the FJC instructor suggested the course, who were mostly camping at the DZ that weekend, come into the local bar. There were about 4 drunk experienced jumpers and 25 drunk FJC students in the bar, along with about 30 hicks. Long story short, some hick rides his horse into the bar, and into a drunken me, I lipped him off, and when I did my first jump the next day, I had a big-ass swolen lip Ever since they've called me lippy. So a horse walks into a bar....
  16. Beleive me, as I was kicking out of my line twists I was cursing my PC. However, it isn't collapsable and I went straight to a rigger after I landed. He couldn't blow through it, and after giving it a fairly thorough looking over, said it was fine. I got nuthin
  17. The rigger at a DZ I occasionally visit makes his own tube stows. I just bought a bag off of him. No intructions included. At my home DZ, I havn't seen too many other rigs with them. I always laugh whenever I hear that snap, followed by 'F#*in Elastics' and praise my tube stows. That's why I wanna know if their a factor in the bag lock. I got nuthin
  18. It's a fairly tight fit just to get the closing stows done with a single wrap. I don't think I've ever seen a douple wrap on a tube stow I got nuthin
  19. I'm cross-posting this in talkback, I'd really like some other opinions on what the hell happened here: So yesterday, we just got up one last load before the sun went down. 4 hop-n-pops from 3 grand. Get out, toss, and then I get to the point where I know I should have a canopy over my head, but I don't. Look up to see a spinning d-bag over my head with the last 3 closing stows still done up. I had enough altitude to shake the canopy out, and be out of twists by 2100feet, about to shit myself. Back on the ground, I was told my tube stows might have had somthing to do with it. Apparently, if you're sub-terminal they tend to cause this kind of thing more than bungees. Anybody know if this is true, or just a beer-light revelation? I got nuthin
