Icon rigs grounded in Sweden Lifted (See Post #31)
BigMark replied to GalFisk's topic in Gear and Rigging
Another great reason to pop your reserve before a repack, ideally with video. My POS Dolphin really launches, scared the manifest girl! -
1st 4 way VFS in competition video?
BigMark replied to angryelf's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Did freefly in the nineties when I couldn't find someone to jump with, never thought of doing it with others, why the hell would you when points needed to be turned! Al Frisbee used to come up with very different 6-12 way jumps that were very inventive and not the norm for the times. -
When you get through customs and enter the next room the two opposite exits are not labeled where they go, this is intended to get you to stop. Someone will approach you and act like they represent the hotel you are staying at, keep walking, to the left are the Taxis, to the right are the shuttles(this is the one you want). I highly recommend upgrading to ocean view, the resort is HUGE and is kind of far from downtown Cabo. Here is the view from my room a few years ago, you can use the fountain as a wind sock! http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m86/a039/Parachutes/P1010091.jpg

Was searching the forum and found this gem, bump for a great post!

Perris upgraded the motors but did not get the expected gains in airspeed, the power supplies may be the culprit. Not good enough for this fatboy...(me)

I'm going to post the sellers name for when that listing expires and if ever Mike happens to see this. akachuck

In this case I truly believe if this person was jumping a Racer they would still be alive, and I think folks should learn from this when they think they are buying the "best" container.

It was like a cypress key fob or something...NO value, I would have sniped it but didn't want to run up the bid if someone was being nice and trying to save it for him...

Looks like it was from a storage locker, I wonder if he still jumps, last year it showed was 2005.

His logbooks are on eBay ending tomorrow... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SKY-DIVING-PARACHUTING-DIVING-EQUIPMENT-LIGHTS-LOG-BOOKS-Misc-Large-LOT-/390499517167?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5aeb95c2ef

Only had 24 jumps, not sure if she would have been packing.

Unfortunately the lady tried to cutaway her main from a Wings container after her helmet got snagged in her riser, most likely her one released riser that had the RSL attached pulled her reserve pin, however even with her very fast descent the spring loaded PC did not extract the reserve canopy.

The anvil brothers website is about as lame as a website could EVER be, WTF? Do we need to take over this bull shit?

During the Perris hundred ways back in the day, the visiting 3 had no door, this was winter time and 20,000 AGL, it did have some nice love seats up front!

Landing Patterns - altitude to begin each leg
BigMark replied to vanessalh's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Was directed at the OP. -
Did anyone read the incident report in the Nov 2012 Parachutist magazine on page 76? Would this most likely not have happened with different riser covers? Are we making our rigs so freefly friendly they no longer "want" to open?

3 Minute Video worth watching
BigMark replied to BrianSGermain's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I started using your pilot chute stowing technique, makes sense to me, thanks! -
Elsinore is having a canopy course this Saturday 11/10/12 unless it rains. I'll be the petite dude.

On a side note, if you have never had baked or grilled Tuna or Salmon collar you are missing out.
