  1. my advice would differ slightly i would definitly agree. however, should i find myself drougueless below six thousand feet, i will be deploying the drogue(regardless of any stability issues) so i can increase the chance of getting a main. lineovers are not always a packing error. my personal experience has been that most packers either become diligent or stop packing. i personally would rather have a packer that has had a customer or two cutaway. they are more likely to understand how important the job they do is. your mileage may vary. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  2. if you had spent four minutes untwisting the brakelines before your cutaway, would you still be upset with the rigger that charged you ten dollars to untangle your main? blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  3. if i were in a position where i could not judge altitude with my eyes using either the ground or a fancy barometer, i would give an EXTREMELY aggressive wave off and then pull. that would make the audible superfluous. visual altimiters give you the luxury of knowing how much time is left before break-off, or pull time, or decision altitude. an audible is just a different version of a mall directory, it only tells you, "YOU ARE HERE". blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  4. pointers volume 2 page 55. i guess you wouldn't call it required, maybe just prudent. i would add that i don't personally see any difference between a stitch, a staple, or tape in this case. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

    Bad way to go.

    eaten alive by your cannabillistic parents the day before you get the presidential medal of valor for saving the lives of a minivan full of nuns and orphans. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  6. How many of us would assume that a white powder stored in a condom, discovered in an airport, was a controlled substance and not a baking ingredient? Pay attention Betty Crocker candidates, be dilligent in your travels. Do not store any of your prize winning ingredients in anything but FOOD CONTAINMENT DEVICES. IF YOU USE CONDOMS, THE TERRORISTS WIN. Jebidiah pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  7. Insightful commentary, thank God you were here to contribute to this dialogue. I swear as long as I live and years beyond my death, insignificant drones will sing with glee, "Vinny said I don't" Jebidiah pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  8. Holy Cow, Your friend had an embarrassing episode skydiving and rather than talk to him personnally to hear his version of things or let him tell the tale himself you would rather post rumours on a public forum from a drunk dial? Zeemax should chime in if I'm wrong, but I think you are way out of line. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
  9. Dear Cheese Boy, I hope to be half as cool as you when I grow up. People are stupid. I am glad you are here. You make summer camp fun. Jebidiah pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
