    I was there.I just was concerened about landing with all of the other people that are going to be coming down at the same time as me...I did not want to hurt anyone or do a low turn to avoid someone...so I left and decided I need to think this over..I really need a big open space to land in...I do not need to learn to fly this canopy in a area where everyone lands at the same time as me......I feel like a student under a fast canopy...my freefall skills Im proud to say are fine

    Hey dude No worries I sent you a pm about the Sabre 2. Im spending Sunday with my 7 year old daughter
  13. freebird
    Im selling my new 135 Sabre 2. Im going to get a Triathlon 150 or 135...........The Sabre is a fine canopy but my canopy skills still need refining.I feel unsure on final............

    Yes that is cool........GO! Then you feel invincibale for a min.....Then you pull and look up and (hopefully) see a beautiful canopy your slider comes down and then its time to grab the toggles and head to the DZ.....What can compare?

    Im going to be nice.I would rather be at the DZ today. I would feel guilty all day and I hate that feeling.Im jumping Sat at SDH.......He knows he is welcome to come and watch me ..but he chooses not to......He really could care less about the sport and says going to the DZ is boring to him.I told him I got this rig for a reason.I want and have to jump it at least one if not two days a week and again I always invite him.........It is not that easy for me to leave him I still have feelings but I know our personalities clash. I just take one day at a time.I have alot going on with school now. I only have a year and a half to go.then I'll be an RN

    And Im not trying to be mean but I like skydivers and my boyfriends friends bore the ass right of of me. ( he and his friends do not jump ) and some of his friends do not like me because I do it or they seem intimadated that I do it and in order to make themseleves look good they say stupid comments to me .......Well Im takeing 3 Vicodiens before I go to this very boring party with these boreing people

    Actually my canopy is a Sabre 2 135.Im trying to get myself down to 95 or 100 pounds so I can learn to land it on final at a smaller wing load( of course jumping with other may be diffcult I will really have to arch)..It may sound crazy but Im serious Im running 3 to four times a week.
  22. freebird
    I was told that a 135 would fine for me .....I ahve been jumping rental gear Sabre 150.I weigh 105 so I ahd a pretty low wing load......Im now loading a 135 Sabre at .9.........It is pretty fast on opening but I think it will be forgiving........My problem with the lager canopy was not being able to jump in even a little wind.............
  23. freebird
    OK I WILL TOUGH IT OUT..........MABE I WILL TRY SLDEING IN ALL OF MY LANDINGS. I WILL AT LEAST NOT HAVE SORE LEG LIKE I DID LAST TIME
  24. freebird
    I almost got twist as it was opening on my first jump on it but they work them selves out right away....but I was getting ready to grab them.......and by the way Im thinking of trading this canopy for a regular Sabre because I was not aware that my canopy was going to be slightly elliptical....I would have to wait 6 more weeks again for a custom colored Sabre

    I finally jumped it.....smooth opening.It has alot of glide...I need to do a few more to get the hang of it.I went from a 150 Sabre with a .7 wing load to a 135 Sabre 2 with a .9 wing load...Im moving through the air alot faster ! IM always afraid of overshooting my target.this makes me turn on final a little late.....But I like flying the canopy.........Imsure once I get the landing down it will be sweet
