From the title of the post it sounds like a personal problem to me. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Ahh thank you for pointing that out. I guess I didn't use the right search words. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

I was contemplating whether or not fabric color affects it's longevity? Like does black degrade faster due to it absorbing more light energy than white? Or does red degrade faster than white because the extra chemicals used in coloring the fabric negatively affect the durability of the fabric? Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

From what my rigger says and does, he sandwiches it in the velcro. In my opinion I think the increase in pull force is negligible. For those that feel I need to qualify my answer, see my profile and take my opinion accordingly. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

*cough* $16 to 12k in 14-15 mins out of a c182 *cough* Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

No they probably think if they get a newer canopy they will be cooler! Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Better watch what you text message too. Those have been used in court cases as well. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

I jumped a Sabre2 170 and I wasn't "blown" away, but I am willing to accept the fact that my limited experience is probably to blame if my reaction was not the usual. One thing with this Sabre1 that is frustrating me is the fact that when I try to use front risers, sometimes it will buck to the point of partially collapsing one side other times it will fly smoothly with the same amount of front riser input. I have asked around the DZ and no one can come up with a decent reason why. I watched to make sure the steering lines are not too short. It has about 100 jumps on it and so I would assume it is not out of trim. So that is my only beef with a Sabre but knowing that it is a specific case I still love em. I just need to figure out what is going on with mine before I have it collapse completely when I do a front riser approach. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Ahhh yes Nels... Yeah I have jumped with him quite a bit. You should make the trek up here again. Don't get a lot of visiting jumpers, kind of out of the way. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

I was lucky enough to get a Sabre1 DOM '01 with well under a 100 jumps. I am more than willing to deal with the occasional hard opening, note I say occasional because I am very conscious as to how to pack, because of their great lift potential during landing. Another jumper borrowed my rig with my 150 in it and after he landed he told me he was amazed by the lift of the canopy. He normally jumps a Fusion 150. I also know that many of the older jumpers, the ones who normally prefer a soft opening jump various sabre's. With the awesome resale price of these I wouldn't suggest any other canopy for someone who is looking to get a first rig on a budget. If there are those that feel that I know nothing or close too it, choose not to listen. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Uh oh which one of those cooks do you call family? Haha Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

If you have seen him land you would know we might not find him. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

I'd listen to Sandy he knows his stuff. Although someone who jumps with some cooks from ND I'm not so sure I guess. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

No should I visit? I am missing some stellar Beer? Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Will a beer out of MT suffice or is that not good enough either? Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

If we are going down that route how about St. Pauli Girl Stella Artois Schlitz or Schlitzy Hamms! Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

I agree I love the history channel, but I can't help but change the channel when monster quest comes on. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Looks like our DZ dog named Lord. Considering she is a she the name is slightly miss leading. I am going to go very corny and say instead of calling her Molly call her Mally, since she is having to go to her second option, You Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

If you guys want something to write on take some of the snow and cold from Fargo. By saturday you might not even be able write in the snow, it'll freeze before it hits. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Too late! It is all about what is behind those glasses right? Or is it below? Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Which side of MI are you? Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

Then why did you respond? The bombers have been taught that their is no other way for their message to be expressed. They believe that killing themselves and taking as many people along with them is the only way to do it. Does this makes them monsters or grossly misguided. Do you put them in the same category as the most famous serial killers who kill for their own twisted pleasure, who torture their victims, and who kill for the sake of killing? Or do you view their actions in a different light? Their actions are just as wrong, but the reasons bringing them to those actions are much different. Will the suicide bombers ever stop? Not as long as they are taught it is the only way. In regards to the name given I would prefer just bomber be used. They are going for the same outcome, but I guess there are those out there that feel if you change the name you somehow change the psychological effect of their action. I'm sorry but a murder is a murder, and a bomber is a bomber no matter how he/she chooses to do it. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

John Rich made a comment saying that suicide bombers kill innocent men women and children that have no relation to their enemy and that makes them monsters. Well American soldiers have killed innocent men women and children with no relation to their enemy so that must make American soldiers monsters also and I tend to disagree. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

I don't know about you, but I like soft landings. Sky Canyon Wingsuiters

American soldiers have never killed innocent men, women, and children in the past? Sky Canyon Wingsuiters
