What the fuck I know but hear this: I fly a Sabre2 190 WL 1.1 which opens really weird; sometimes it gives me 360+ in a line twist. I have close to 200 jumps. Me and a couple of my friends that get the same type of openings are glad that we didn't jump stiletto as students. Maybe on this side of the world people are stupider but I feel good that I didn't and currently don’t see ant instructor here saying "yeah bro, jumping a stiletto as student is cool”. Heck, people are soooo stupid, on this side of the world, that we still have students that lose stability at 11 jumps and open at 3500 and not 5000, we have students who land in the trees, one students that broke a finger on exit from cessna (the finger stayed inside) and one student who broke her back from turning left, instead of right as the radio guy said and then correcting with a low right 180 turn into the hospital. By pure statistic: Hell NO! If we want to bring more people in our sport (even the students that I've seen quit because of a landing accident) then students should put on canopies that have very similar characteristics (open/flying/landing) as the reserves because there’s an historical statistic reason why reserves fly like they do.

Is the DZO the kind of person who wants to be in control? If yes maybe he's offended that he's the last one to know and pointed a sharp tooth at you. He only talk/bark but didn't take no actions. You've should presented this information directly to him and not allow that other people or eavesdropping takes it to him. If no ... I can't relate Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

So, semantics wise you'll probably win. It was a mistake from my side to tell that the decision altitude is 1000ft. I should have made reference to pressure instead. However, I think that you agree with me when I say that if I've just been stood up by the main opening on 1000ft the cypress will fire no matter what is wrote in that pdf document and this is the real good lesson for everybody can take out of my affirmations. All that been said, have a good one and take care! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Isn't the activation altitude 1000 ft (but when on belly due to the back burble this 1000 ft roughly translate to 750 ft)? Something like if you’re doing sit or head down or you’ve just been stood up by the snivel of the opening and still have vertical speed in the range of firing it will fire at 1000 ft and not 750 because the burble is no longer there.

Hi Guys, Been doing tracking jumps and I want to use flour smoke bomb. I am aware of one setup, the one where you put the flour in women pentihose that you attach to your ankle. Do you know any other setups, that possible could work better than this one? Regards, Jean-Arthur Deda. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

and why is back flying just a stepping stone? Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

mdrejhon, I see you put a lot of energy into new commers. Good! It's good to see that! ... So, do you coach for free as well? It would be cool if you pay for the student jumps when you coach me Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Thanks man, Really appreciated the video and your feed back. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Hey Guys, I'm really considering using Gábor method. If anyone with experience can make a critique for Gábor method, so that I would have a glimpse of what I'm getting myself into it, it would be really appreciated. I'm worried that while the method works fine for Gábor (who has a lot of experience) it might not be suitable for a noob like myself. I mean, would it be more easily to fuck up and get a line over with this method? Regards, Jean-Arthur Deda. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

ping more than a year of pending for the new PDOptimum. What can possibly explain this situation? As long as it makes sense and it's probable, feel free to speculate. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

> time slows down I'm doing speedish 40 km/h downhill longboard on bamboo bords. A couple of times I've felt the same in downhill longboard. Spoke about it with different people and apparently that's the flow effect. From the words of Ayrton Senna: In my longboard progression I've used the rush avoidance at all costs and it worked really nice. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Not sure where to put this one. It's mostly for swoopers. I have friends that have "begin" swooping (directly to 90 degree turns) and live under the impression that the groundrush is normal thing. I feel that groundrush, or just the fact that something is rushing at you translates to out-of-confort-zone/un-familiar speeds and I tend to stay away from it. Do you swoopers still get the ground rush? I'm looking into extending a bit the no wind/light downwind landings feel, but not swooping (90+ turns) per se and I'm considering using the "avoid the ground rush" as personal limit. Cons or advices? Regards, Jean-Arthur Deda. Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

I've really liked the old format of www.skydivingmovies.com. If someone wants to make a site exactly like the old one (simple, clear, focused on material and not so much on the cool interface) please do it because I'm searching for one like that

I'm just going to put this out there and see how it compares with other people experience. To me it seems that S2 characteristics (open, fly and landing) are less affected by out of trim. For instance, I had a Spectre that was out of trim (8 cm difference between the outer A4 lines) and was opening in a stall and had a small build it turn. A friend of mine has a higher difference between the A5 lines on a S2-150 and it seems to work fine. Any thoughts? And another thing that me, personally, I would be interested to know is: how sensitive is S2 to turbulence, compared with the other canopies from the same class (Safire, Safire2, Sabre1)?

Hey Bro, I use active ankle for 1 year after my unpleasent landing. http://www.activeankle.com/ The mind will clear with more jumps or tunnel or kite (traction kite). See you on flip side! Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

Thanks for this info. I know more
