    I probably packed less than 20 for you and i never saw you with stowless bag. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    It is your head and brain, you have your chice to wear whatever you want. You'll think that it is crazy that some choose to jump over 4000 jumps without even a shoe on. Lead the way for us and start jumping something with more protection, maybe some will follow. And what kind of head gear did you wear for the last 2000 jumps???? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Mo will probably go with v308 And i put jvx 94 or fx99 or katana 120 into v306 bag and i have mt and there are absolutely no problem when i close my container. Enjoy your straight on heading opening,,, and somehow they open softer. The guy will insist that the demension of the d bag is more important, not the canopy size, but i think that is dead wrong. I would've been pissed if i got v310 which is made to fit 150 max. I've seen many stowless bag design, and i like vectors the most. It actually enables you to figure 8 the lines than close the tab, not shove the figure 8 into the pocket. Also i hate magnets on some stowless bag designs. They just add weight to top of your canopy. One belgium made bag weighed like a pound or two. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    If you have a job that pay much better why not focus on that full time and start fun jumpin???? There are lots of kids who has nothing else to do and really want the job. Have you ever thought that you are taking up that space?????? If i had a real job that pays more than being working skydiver then i would say fuck work jump, i would just show up at the dz only to fun jump. If you are one of those lucky ones with real world skill, then i'd say stop bitchin and just jump as part timer. Part time is the shit imo. Show up only when the dz is busy and making money.

    Done whinin, hopefully one of my local faa medical examiner picks up their fuckin phone and fill me in for appointment today. Im sick of hearing, call 911 if it is an emergency, im not at the desk and leave me a message. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    i think any dropzone manager and tandem examiner can determine whether we are fit and skilled enough to jump with the customer or not. getting tandem rating SHOWs in some manner that we are physically fit and capable. faa medical doctor can not really determine how safely we can land our parachute. Nor medical that is good for 5 year doesn't mean shit. You can develop heart problem or whatever with in that time frame. my guess is that at some point of time frame. A member of USPA was in bed with FAA medical examiner and thought it would be great to make more money out of us. this rule is complete BS, get rid of this rule or up it to class 2.

    seriously, who came up with the idea of class 3 medical for the TIs??? Not only I have to take my own damn time and money to go get one. Finding a doctor with convenience of my schedule is difficult. and why class 3???? not class 2???? and finally does tandem paragliding pilot requires having a class 2 or 3?? clearly it is commercial operation. even FAA guy was surprised that we require class 3 or any medical and he wondered why not class 2.

    What is pd's take on stowless bag??? Oviously it does not take 10 to 15 lbs of force to take my lines out. Packing is like religion, everyone has there own system and beliefs. Whatever floats your parachute. I have 1300 jumps with single stow and only hard opening i had was when i was jumping hard opening canopy. Ie sabre 1 that opened hard no matter what, and cobalt that did it's own thing. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    To dse. You gotta convince the mexican that double wrapping doesn't do shit to slow down the opening And how does vector d bag fit into voodoo??? However, even with stowless d bag neatness of figure 8 is important. I shoveed one in less than 4 min, just literaliy throw it in there and resulted in jerky opening even with stowless bag....

    You go and jump with dot rated helmet next weekend and tell us how fun that was. If you need dot rated helmet. You are probably doing it wrong. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I have mirage mt and i use v306 stowless d bag. Mike will ask your bag demension and he recommened v310 I told him to go to hell and i ordered v306 bag. Fits perfect inside the container and perfect soft on heading opening ever since. Mirage d bag demension will not make sense for vector guys due to trapazoid shape. Go read the chart of vector d bag pack volumes and you go decide... Mirage and vector has very closely shaped d bag. It will work. What size is your mirage???? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I personally thought that jfx dove more than jvx. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I do my first two rubber stow and i stand up and move my whole d bag to the end of riser and figure 8 on top of one another, i don't have time to make my figure 8 progressively smaller. I just figure 8 all on top of the bag and close the tab. And i leave about 3 to 5 inchs of slack between riser and d bag. Best investment ever. Opens softer and on more on heading. You do not feel lines snatchung out of rubber bands during deployment. If sigma comes out with stowless d bag, that will be fucking awesome. Mr. Boothe work on that shit.

    thx for the reply. so the flutter tail is the sign of canopy about to become a whore at the dz and go from one instructor to another???? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  22. stayhigh
    i jump at 1100 ft. not too high. i guess it is the wing design issue. Are 9 cell design proned to have flutter issue more than 7 cell design???? has anyone died or got seriously injured due to tail flutter issue??? Bernie Sanders for President 2016
  23. stayhigh
    i guess it is something similar to that, but i never looked up. it feels similar to what the video shows. the flutter starts after around 630 rotation up high, when im facing the ground with high g's, as soon as I slow the turn it goes away. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    How many of you have seen this or felt this???? I did the search and seems like this can happen on any x-braced canopy in a high speed dive. And im not talking about breakline being too short, not a bucking feel but more or less quick pulsating vibration. Any feedback would be nice. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
