"I was previously a member of a military parachute demonstration team back east" Yeah, she looks to be a legit previous member of a mil jump team...said no one. P.S. Keep the full face on please! We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

I can't find the article right now, but I believe RI dropped the magnetic riser covers because o fthe astetics only, not because they did not work. We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

Great video! Thanks for sharing, always looking forward to your next post about this beast! Awesome! We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

You are seriously comparing meeting TJ Landgren to D-1 ... We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

Here was a thread on the N3 used with that. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4410620;search_string=PD%20wrist%20band;#4410620 We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

The ones that I have seen were 1000D and had been used ALOT. We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

It needs to be done at the time of the repack. If it is done later, the same rigger that repacked it needs to do the switch since he packed it last. Good on you, the more you know about your gear, the better. Your life depends on it.

Seems pretty common on older RTS rigs. Small tuck tabs that can get worn out easily. We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

Now that is a beautiful sight! Great pic! We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

I'd buy one. We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

Do it yourself, learn about your gear, the process, and inform others how easy it was. It's not rocket surgery ;) https://www.cypresusa.com/service_form.asp We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

You should have contacted these noobs to see if they wanted to get in on that action. They had the same idea at less than 45 jumps as well, and everyone told them it was a bad idea then too: 45 jumps. "is it possible to get lenses for the helmet that are either dark/tinted or mirrored? Jus thought it'd be different to the usual clear ones...?

It's not an MA2-30, it's an earlier alti. We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

A couple options out there already that might work for you. http://www.chutingstar.com/gear/aluminum-hanging-rig-rack http://www.chutingstar.com/gear/gorilla-skydiving-gear-hanger We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

I find it interesting that a lot of the ads don't tell you what DZ it is...hmmm. We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

"Performance Designs is identifying top CP pilots and contacting them directly with the opportunity to fly the PEREGRINE, based on their experience and historical competition results. The PEREGRINE will not be made available through our PD dealer network. If you are seriously interested in a Peregrine, the best way to let us know is to continue competing on your Comp Velocity. As you demonstrate your skills and experience, and rise among the CP ranks, we will most certainly take notice." It's PD's canopy, they can set the rules however they want. Don't like it...oh well I guess. We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

WTF dude...speechless. Best reason to downsize right there...said no one. We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

Ditto, demo them both. Also, PD publishes flight characteristics for all their canopies that you can do some research from. Look under the "Flight Characteristics" tab here for the Sabre 2. http://performancedesigns.com/products.asp?product=sa We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

If you're ordering everything new, then yes, you will get all the parts that you need. Containers come with pilot chutes (Main/Reserve), free bag/bridle. Main pod/deployment bag), and risers. Canopies come with links/softlinks. If you are buying used, clarify with the seller as to what is actually coming with the item (they should all come with the appropriate parts though).

Found it online: High Resilience Foam - 3.0 lb Foam Sheets, cushion foam What did you get for Thickness and Firmness? We're not fucking flying airplanes are we, no we're flying a glorified kite with no power and it should be flown like one! - Stratostar

If you see a white Safire 129 being jumped in your neck of the woods, watch out, this guy has mad skillz. Holy hell, it's like watching a train wreck, somebody has hopefully pulled this guy aside for a talk about basic canopy control, progression, downsizing, and general safety. WTF... "Just downsized from Triathlon-160 to Safire 2 - 129. Learning to swoop, jumps approx 100-166. ANY suggestions / drills / comments WELCOME! Jump# in the corner.

If your not worried about presentation, 1 or 2 kitchen trash bags work well. You can also use a vacuum to suck out all the air in the bag to make it as small as possible. Getting a 170 in a medium flat rate box is usually not a problem and anything bigger fits in a large flat rate with that system.
