How do you relax if your nervous before a jump. I know a VERY good way to relive the tension. The longer you wait......the more sense you get....... Freebird freebird

I had a problem with a Talon one time. The problem was found on the ground by a packer. there is a protective flap that covers the pilot chute pouch. The bridle must be pushed up in the lower part of the container to avoid exposure(we all know this) My bridle had gotten pushed up and fell over the corner of the protective flap. The packer said I would of had a pilot chute in tow. One of my JMs said it would of opened.

When in freefall your doing a two way your making eye contact then you begin to float. Your partner sinks. I tend to float my exit weight is 125. If you see your about to get in someones burble what would be the best way to quickly avoid this. If you know you float what is the best body position to be in. Forgive me for asking such a easy question Im kinda me at this 60 jumps.

Yes this is that Tiffany. I have a new 135 Sabre I don't have a container yet. I don't know if I want to trade in my sabre for a triathlon.

Will wind at 15 mph back up a 100 pound person under a 150?

This is freebird. I trained on a 170. Then they got in the 150 (all sabres). I am 100 pounds. I have jumped a 135 Triathlon and stood it up on my first jump. I also jumped a 135 sabre I did not stand that one up on my first jump. I think it was a no wind day. I jump the 150 sabre because I am still renting. When I order my canopy my main concern is a canopy being docile in the event of a mal. Will a triathlon spin more than a sabre in with a line over?

Im a very busy student. Sometimes I can only find time to jump once or twice a month. I have my A license and 60 jumps. Is this a good idea?

What is better for someone who wants a really docile canopy a triathlon or sabre? Im about 100 pounds 150 or 135? I want something docile but that will also penatrate winds above 10 mphs.

What if you have line twists all the way down to your cutaway cable pouch???

What does it mean if a canopy needs to be relined?
