spindlee replied to darren71's topic in Gear and Rigging
man up or buy a spectre I only have 15 jumps on a Sabre but i never really had a proper hard opening. If in doubt, whip it out... -
A guy goes to the zoo, but when he gets there, all that's there is one dog. It was a shitzu If in doubt, whip it out...

Ten blondes walk into a bar............. Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch If in doubt, whip it out...

I'll start the ball rolling... My wife, being unhappy with my mood swings, bought me one of these mood rings so she could monitor my mood. We discovered that when I am in a good mood it turns green and when I am in a bad mood it leaves a big fucking red mark on her forehead. If in doubt, whip it out...

it'll be worth it when it arrives no doubt If in doubt, whip it out...

Sorry need to vent off somewhere, I just ordered my V3 Micron and it looks sweeeeeet! now i just have to wait for it! If in doubt, whip it out...

nice design man, that looks tiny!! mine is bigger as it is sized for a 135/150 If in doubt, whip it out...

i had the same problem with my all red suit, i am just using my black one until my rig arrives with a yellow cutaway If in doubt, whip it out...
-
it's a bit odd they won't let you jump it, as long as it's not the same colour as the body on your suit then it shouldn't be a problem!, if you are jumping your own rig then have you considered getting a rigger to change the cutaway pad? that maybe cheaper if the suit is expensive. If in doubt, whip it out...
-
forgive me for asking but isn't that size a little small for a first canopy at that weight? i didn't think you could jump at that WL until you had more jumps? correct me if i'm wrong If in doubt, whip it out...
-
LOL! i'm not that rich!, i only intend on visiting 1 or 2 dz's over the period of 3 weeks. If in doubt, whip it out...

June sounds about right for me, i am in the US with the navy from march until may time so might be able to come out out in June. If in doubt, whip it out...

first of all a big hello to you US guys! this forum rocks.... now to my point; I want to take a trip to the US for a skydiving holiday but there is som nay different dz's i don't know where to start. I've heard Eloy, skydive AZ are good one's. I'd like to go to a big dz that maybe will have helicopters at a boogie or maybe a balloon. How on earth do i decide where to go? If in doubt, whip it out...

Have you ever verified jump #s?
spindlee replied to bigbearfng's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i wsan't saying it was a hp canopy, it's just not that radical with my wingloading If in doubt, whip it out... -
I think even sabre 2's have a LOT of difference in performance compared to a student canopy. I think i will demo a SB2 150 and see the difference compared to a 170. Then plan on staying on that wing for a good few hundred jumps etc then downsize to a 135. Even at that size i'm not loading it high at all but i still like to have more material over my head If in doubt, whip it out...
-
naked swooping..... If in doubt, whip it out...
-
No probs, if i see any around i'll PM you. I look forward to flying HP canopies one day. Canopy Piloting is something that really interests me

spindlee replied to bigbearfng's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I think it's a good idea to get a reference from their CCI at whichever DZ they jump at. A HP canopy in inexperienced hands is deadly to the pilot and the other jumpers. but hey what do i know, I fly a spectre 150 lol! If in doubt, whip it out... -
i'll have a look at that thread, and sorry no, it was a vengeance 107. I didn't think they made the vegeance in a size 170 but i might be wrong i don't know a lot about hp canopies...i fly a spectre If in doubt, whip it out...
-
I had a friend have a chop due to burrying a toggle, got herself into twists. Sabre 2's are nice canopies but can bite you in the ass if your not carefull If in doubt, whip it out...
-
I was born on a cord..... I only really intended to do 1 jump, then did AFF and gotton myself qualified. Now i love it! best thing thats happend to me. not my wallet though If in doubt, whip it out...

Anyone else like hop n pops?
spindlee replied to TerminatorSRT4's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
i love the way you hear your canopy opening and you see your legs get flung up in front of you, looking up and seeing the canopy slightly wrinkled as it's not yet fully pressurised. It goes from being in a noisy plane to a quite canopy ride within seconds. It' an awsome feeling. If in doubt, whip it out...
