Thanks for responding. I have been jumping it since last week and taking it easy while enjoying HI openings. I'm just waiting for a response from CrossKeys/Skydive U so I can set up a "1st available" class time with Heath Richardson. _______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/

My past jumps have been practicing with 1/2 brake approach (Avoiding the other 11 people/jumpers) , keeping track of stale point. AND I am in the process of getting classes with Heath Richardson at CrossKeys. Thank you for the "positive" feedback and advice.

QuoteI'm kind of wondering what added benefit buying a Comp Cobalt can provide, given your jump numbers, over a regular Cobalt, or** even going to a square** or semi-elliptical canopy? ________________________________________________ Well, first I would hope you didn't mean to imply that I should be jumping Rounds still. The COMP has modifications that make the 170 OPENING very nice. The way it flys, opens, and lands for me has been great for MYSELF so far AND as I stated before, I WILL be getting professional coaching for advanced canopy control. Until then I am watching my ass 100% and taking it carefully. p.s. I don't hook turn or 90 degree-in. I am not experienced enough and I'm not willing.

I plan on staying at wide open DZs and getting coached training. Without taking all precautions, I would be adding bullets in Russian Roulette. _______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/

**not until I'm ready** This month is: "get aquainted month with new canopy" time. I would also like good coaching, as I am a low numbered jumper. _______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/

I'm jumping it at Chambersburg in 16 hours. My custom Comp. Cobalt 170. Hi opening and taking it easy. This will be my 1st jump on "my own" Cobalt rather than the Demos. (Long healing time from ladder accident held me up) I'll write about it after I jump it also. (in honest details too) NO thoughts of swooping until I show positive signs of skill while in a canopy pilot training course or professional coaching. eg: Ian Bobo or Chuck Blue. _______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/

Sabre 2 170 Observations & Advice Please
bobsled92 replied to StearmanR985's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I don't have vast exp. OR more than a few demos w/ Sabre2 but, it was wonderful. Clean response and plenty or power in the brakes. I maily flew a 220 Tri. before and the demo felt better than, my own canopy at the that time, had felt. p.s. Stay conservative and safe. I had 86 jumps when I demoed it and feel the same about my new canopy as I did the Sarbe2 -

Should parents be allowed to pierce their babies' ears?
bobsled92 replied to lewmonst's topic in Speakers Corner
The history of 3rd World piercing and hanging of coins on women and girls were for the purpose of increasing thier value, as they were not concidered of much value without. Babies with piecing: ?? increases thier open market resale value?? _______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ -
