    How did you pack your drogue?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I've seen many dropzones that does it. The super cheap H&P place that everyone talks about specially. Any real danger for a tail strike?? Take the number of skydivers in US, A, multiply by the probable rate of tail strike, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one??? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Is it a some what normal appearance over time??? Not talking about not being cocked. I'm talking about bridal hitching on drogue or straight sniveling drogue. and has anyone taken that configuration beyond 20+ seconds?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Pulse packs size smaller, Pilot ZPX packs about half size smaller. Pilot ZPX 140 would pack kinda like regular zp 135, maybe slightly smaller like 129. And Pulse 135 would pack like regular zp 120's. I've packed sport rig for 5 years. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I flew KA 170 and XF 169's. Since my rig at the time will only go down to 170. They fly exactly like how KA or XF should fly, without big recovery arc. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I think the guys name was stefan, when I met him at elsinore, he addressed the issue of plastic cracks on my Solo, and Optima, and on top of it he offered me free Viso for my Viso that flew away in freefall before the times of more secure mount. I took new Solo and Optima ofcourse but I declined on Viso since I use Suunto Vector. Can't beleive L&B did not sent you a new audible as a replacement. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I'm 6'6" and my rig fits anyone from 5'8 to me. It is the torso or main lift webbing length that is important not the person's height. Also, i've tried out a rig that was made for 5'6 and I fit in it just fine. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    where is the like button??? but seriously, that might be "the next step". Get rid of all drag by reducing the riser lenght to none, and just do all harness turns. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    So what did you do after drogue got blown to dust??? Did you still release main or did you go for reserve?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Sounds little bit on exaggeration side. If you were completely blinded you would've ripped the helmet off. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I'm over this arguments whether is it right to fly such wing or not. They do exist and those ti that flys em does hell alot better job than those who flys conventional 9cell. Is this wing for everyone or every dz??? Not really. Just like Icarus 300 is not for every dz or every ti. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Than I guess my eyes are wrong dude. I see fx250's fly all day long and they all(as in both ti and student) stand em up all day long with or without wind, from 99lbs student to 240 lb, and I'd say 250's slows down better than the 300 for sure, slows down just as slow as 330 would with more flair power left. X-braces are SAFER canopy in the hands of experienced pilot. Just like doing bigger turn is safer than doing a 90 for experienced pilot. Now where do we draw the line??? I definitely think that doing less than 1000 tandem jumps a year would NOT qualify you for this wing nor having less than 5000 tandem jumps. Now tell me, with your aerodynamic fact and knowledge. How can I slow down my Velo 75 just as slow as my other specter 120 and I seem to get softer landing on much smaller ve 75??? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Yeah, they are sooooo advanced that their pollution level is off the chart. If you live there you know damn well that you don't want to drink water straight off the tap. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    They all land fine with zero wind, with passenger weighing at 240 lbs. Eventually they all slow down to same speed as icarus 300 or 330 would do. Obviously Ti is very experienced pilot and got sick of flying non x-braced canopy. After 15000 tandem canopy flying, these guys can handle fx250 or even smaller with no wind, with 220 lbs passenger and would stand up those landings. with NO WIND. If you can not stand up the landing with 300 or 330 almost every single time regardless of wind condition, you probably have no business flying fx's. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    well that is because your dz offers only ocean view in so-cal and much cooler temperature during summer time vs Perris and Snore. If there was another dz right next door to you and they let people to do big turn, you will lose most of the big time freeflyers. I remember when Perris first stopped big turns anywhere on the dz. All the cool kids went to next door. Perris did have significant number of freeflyers and now what?? All they have is older crowd flying big ass boats. Canopy flight doesn't have to do with anything with free flying???? Count how many freeflyer with over 1000 jumps that are still flying Sp 190 or Sa 190??? Count how many bellyflyer with over 1000 jumps that are flying Ve 90 or Vx 90?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Funny thing is that some people do like working with Dause. I always say if you can work with Bill for over a year or two you can work with anyone. It is almost a character building experience. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    thought it was to fill the freebag and pound the shit out of it until desired shape and close em. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I've seen their gear and I wish all dropzones has that kind of arsenal. Aff is little tough one I've heard. You don't follow simple instruction and you are done. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Kinda hard to believe that you can stay with a light girl flat flying. Can you say diffrent type of XRW??? Light girl belly flying, with you carving around her. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    What is best one out there you feel?? Toggle pressure Flair Power Getting out of line twist. Recovery Arc. ect. My dream canopy would be Sigma 300 with 2-6 toggle setting if they ever make one like that. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
