Someone gain some weight? Be safe.....er Ed Lol no, IM still 165, I wear a LOT of weight for swooping. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Here's a repost of a letter I sent to Bill Booth First load today, while training with my swoop team (FastraxSwoop) I had the nasties malfunction ever. We were exiting a caravan with no cut, so the exit speed was extremely high. After a 1 second delay I deployed my canopy. A combination of my instability from the exit and the propwash from the airplane spun my Velocity 96 up. It started to untwist itself faster and faster, after clearing itself it had so much speed it induced line twists the other way, then it took off! Spinning up all the way to my 3 rings. Now on my back in a high speed turn and decent (Neptune reading 88mph) I had no choice but to cutaway, the fact that I was loaded at 2.4 came to mind. I had a hard time reaching my cutaway because of the high G forces, but as soon as I cutaway I was greated with a beautiful yellow PD106 Reserve in what I would estimate in under a second. The only side effect was a busted lip from my risers being cutaway from in front of my face while I was on my back. Having test jumped the Skyhook for RWS and over 20 cutaways with it I had full trust in the product, but I can guarantee never in testing was a spin this fast induced. The Skyhook worked perfectly and my reserve deployed on heading. Thankyou for your support and for designing such a great product, I am happy to have a skyhook in my rig.

Jump shack doesn't use the no bartack, double fingertrap method anymore. I dont know exactly why, but it isnt 100% effective. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

QuoteQuote. Thats only four people who jumped with a board...Compared to 4 way with its 71 teams thats 284 people.Quote How long have you been doing 4way? You still dont know there is 5 people on a team, I count 71 teams as 355 people Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

You forgot "If you want to compete and win try the velocity" Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Icarus was playing around with that on their 11 cell. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Fast as I can, much more than 3 jumps an hour. Not impossible Fastrax beat that record with 50 in a day with me and another friend packing for them, and they were done well before sunset. The trick is having the plane to yourself in both cases only a team on the plane, Fastrax had an advantage though they had an Otter and we had a porter. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Tell us more... Working jumps, like vid or tandem, or did you actually do them as fun jumps with friends/training? It was Filming the Norgies just before the world meet, their cameraman broke his arma dn he was a good friend so I did him a favor. Hard hard work we did 46 jumps in one day. There was a few weather days in that 11 days. But it was a lot of fun. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Dont hold back how do you really feel? Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

QuoteHell you did 2.1 on the 185' speed course. You should be able to drop that a little. I'm flying 2.3-2.4 and I'm flying a velo 103. You are flying a much smaller wing, so you should beable to get some more speed, than me!!! BTW Great job on the 2.1. That's hauling ass.Quote Your forgetting Mark's handicap. His head is so big it creates more drag than a student canopy. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Im going to be at Nationals, but I have since quit the video game, and Im now commited to swooping. Me and my new team Fastrax Swoop will be there in full force so come out and support us. It was very nice meeting you too. Its funny you see me as shy and business like, other people interpret that as bad attitude and too self centered. Its sad how people dont take time to get to know you but have opinions that are way off base. Your actually a good judge of character. See you in Perris and the best of luck for you and your team. Are you filming the Fox's again? Loris is awesome I love her to death. Tell her hi for me. The first shot after the meet is on me! Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!

Of course safety is the #1 concern, as you know from being there last year we had a well organized event. This year we have the addition of Loic and Jay Moledzki, coming in to help organize also. This years event is a 5 day event, to give us a chance to work on the pieces in smaller groups, to see who is going to be coming along for the big ways. Last years attendents that were in the jumps that built are already allowed to come play, as long as they are current. I will have full details up soon, sadly I have to wait to pick a date. Availability for Aircraft and organizers busy schedule, as well as other events already set are making it a little difficult. Right now its looking to be the end of January or anytime in Feb. Do you know the dates of the Big BIG ways in Thailand? Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of!
