Mega-Tight is right! Try cramming a 190 in yours and thats what Ive got to do everytime. The canopy had one hop n pop when I got it so add slipperiness to the equation. CANT WAIT TO DOWNSIZE. Packing is gonna be a piece-of-cake....
-
I already watched that Today!

Yea the colors are reversed. My "Infinity" is red but the words are in blue. Same with on the front of mine..... Also, My hackey is red and black. not blue and black... YOU SURE GOT A NICE LOOKING RIG!!!
-
Yeah! What the heck. I bought this rig from someone that custom ordered it, put one jump on it, had trouble reaching pilot chute due to some shoulder injury and sold it to me ..... Never thought I'd see another one exactly like it....
-
I should have noted that. But I did check with the manufacturer first and a qualified rigger second.... THANKS
-
I got a Infinity container that was made to fit a 170/190 main canopy and Im shoving that 210 in there. Works great and I can now downsize a couple of times before I am done. Keep that in mind..... I don't plan on jumping smaller than a 170 so I should have this rig for a really long time.
-
Ive got an I-45 with a Spectre 210 in it. It makes for some fun packing. Planning a downsize soon, though!!
-
GET A SPECTRE!!! I love my Spectre, you can just cram it into the bag and you will still get soft openings. Very Reliable. My wing loading is like .95, don't be in too much of a rush to downsize. you can still have lots of fun with a low wingloading. I can also land downwind and it is a very comfortable feeling knowing no matter what condition I am in I can land safely!

ASTKU replied to skydived19006's topic in Safety and Training
The game started at 11:30 central time so Im assuming the demo was right before that..... -
I found this thread to be helpful.... http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3253613;search_string=pd%20storm;#3253613 BTW I jump a spectre and was supposed to demo a storm but they sent me the wrong size.oops. they are very helpful and definitely take care of their customers!

DITTO #3.....CAN'T DO IT

OMG! I love that picture. FREAKIN HILARIOUS (no offense). That looks like a pretty great halloween costume....

RIDICULOUS!!!

Thanks for the reply. But what I really want to know is, if you are vertical (head up or down) what role does your rig play. And does it make that much difference. Essentially you are "skydiving" without a rig and that rig will create resistence....
-
Okay, So I live close to a wind tunnel and haven't gone. It's hard for me to spend my skydiving money on "floating" in a tunnel. Most people at my DZ have done some tunnel time but it seems like it wouldn't be as helpful as an actual skydive with your rig and all. I have jumped with people at about my jump number who have sitfly tunnel time and they are no better than me. I would think the wind tunnel would be great for belly work but be a little different if you were veritcal because of the fact you are missing your rig..... Opinions and Experiences would be appreciated!! THANKS (BTW I have read some threads on the wind tunnel but haven't gotten all my questions answered)

For like a minute I was sitting there going "how in the fuck did they do that"...... ME A LITTLE SLOW HAHAHA

Very cute! Why does every little kid walk around with cheerios?

Yep. Mile Hi Skydiving is in Longmont, Colorado. About 10-15 mins from Boulder, 30-40mins from Denver.... I just moved to Boulder from Longmont and I lived in a house with a deck and I could see every jump run, skydive, and some canopy action. It was a gift as well as a curse. Imagine hearing every jump run when you are not able to jump. Thats frustrating..... You should definitely hit up this Uncle. It is a very active dropzone and a lot of fun...... If the Uncle thing doesn't work out I've got a couch and Im friendly to all skydivers!
-
I slept in my truck at your dropzone(witchita, right?) once on a trip from texas to kc to colorado but didn't get to jump. It was windy as fuck the next day and I couldn't jump. Just had to get back on the road and keep driving.....haha oh well, maybe someday
