  1. I've never flown a slow opening specter. They are smooth and staged but never soft. If specters opens soft than what does xaos or velo like??? Streamer??? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  2. So Aerodyne A2 flys like a Sigma Reserves?? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  3. Have you seen any adult passenger who are fully aware of the risk they are taking??? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  4. Is a2 flys kinda like precision?? I rank Sigma>Icarus>Precision. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  5. One dz that I know, killed freeflying program by killing swooping. No one with the velo/vx wants to jump at the dz with turn limitation. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  6. I always get sick when I ride as a passenger of tandem, and I have close to 4000 jumps. I've heard everything from harness being too tight, to you not being in center of the parachute theory. I think both reason plus you not driving/flying the thing makes you more prone to having motion sickness. and sigma could improve by adding little more padding or making leg strap wider. I have total of 5 passenger ride, they all sucked. I have huge respect for the TI examiners. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  7. Packing is one of the hardest jobs to get at the dz. do you think those packers will let anyone waltz in and take their money away??? FUCK NO. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  8. don't try to put the ears over where the stablizer would be. this may sound weird but just put the ears, inside the canopy. hard to explain but quater out and expose the tail part and nose part of the slider out and to catch air, but the side ears put them flush inside.

  9. one of the best in westcoast. there are lot of good ones out at eloy far as tunnel coaching goes. Legit for sure. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  10. why dont you guys just lie about light not flashing and turn it in??? once it is their hand they aren't gonna send it straight back without updates Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  11. pilot should gave you a go around. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  12. Only wear that shows on typical hma line sets are by the loop that goes thru the slinks. other than that and color changes of lines you can't really tell. I change mine as soon as opening goes to shit, i figure changing the lineset is cheaper than chance of losing main or reserve or both component to a cut away. also if you are jumping at dirt prone areas just assume that it won't last long as what pd says. i've only seen very very few hma lineset lasting more than it should in a dirty environment.

  13. i guess "the next one" ???? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  14. Aerodyne is almost too easy to undone imo. That is why i favor pd slinks over anything. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  15. Your survey sucks, who enjoys packing their parachute?? people pay 6 dollars for a reason. For that reason alone I was able to make money for 4 years. Easiest part of packing is quite possibly the rubber band stowing part. Hardest part for most people is putting canopy in the bag part. For me the hardest/most time consuming part is closing the container, and putting pilot chute in. and None of them are enjoyable. So now I unpack shit for a living. there. And you can just shove it in the bag, and coil all the lines at the bottom of the tray and it will work fine. with significant trap door effect ofcourse. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  16. who really slows down their fwd speed to be truely falling flat vertical again?? I dump in a track and I track more after I pitch my pilot chute. If dumping in a track is dangerous all the big wall base jumper will die after every jump??? and don't give me their base canopy opens hard,,, they open hard because of their pilot chute size, big ass vents and nose, and unique base environment slider. If you want soft opening, jump a soft opening canopy. They aren't sabre1, i haven't jumped soft opening specter either but they don't open hard. never had luck with cobalt. definitely not the old fx Soft ones out there are crossfire, velos, and xaos. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  17. you forgot "when in doubt add another rotation." . . When it comes to choosing a canopy, remember that you are a grown ass man, make your own decision, life is too short being told what to do. That goes for when you sell your canopy to a newbie as well. Got money??? You've got my canopy. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  18. sucks when it is hard to even say the freaking name. Peregrino??? Pellegrino?? Pregrine?? Progene??? awww fuck it. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  19. Depending on the wind direction, the landing area will be halved, making small landing area even smaller. Beware of rotors from the trees. Turbulence effect amplifies with stronger winds. It may not feel like 25-30 mph but sometimes wind may be consistent 25-30. Not much out besides polo field, beach shoreline, farm land to the south. low cutaway above the ocean might mean swimming time. If there are 30 ft waves you might have to swim for a long time before someone gets you. Unless you dare to swim in pass the shore break. Adjust your decision altitude accordingly.

  20. my friends best advice, go to the rears when you want to, go to the toggles when you feel like going to. Doesn't make sense at all. but just think about that dumbass advice on landing. If that doesn't help, just cut the breaklines with hook knife. than you'll have no other choice but to go all rears. SOFIDARF. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  21. Or we wouldn't trust AAD from China Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  22. wow, one day when you have like over 1000 jumps, maybe one day, and you'll be thinking, "shit, I could've bought 10 jump tickets with that money," Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  23. You think that it favors skinny people which is true for most, but I see potential swooper, that favors heavy people. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  24. Very tight fit in Florida would be very Bitch to pack in Southern California. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
