    Awesome Post! Although I have a limited time in the sport (1.5yrs)and most likely will never be good enough to be an instructor i agree 100% When i get up in the morning and look in the mirror i know what i am and i'm proud to be me. I couldn't always say that. It doesn't bother me much anymore to keep it to my self because as long as i know it and i'm proud of it i'm a better person in all aspects because of it. The when you go to the DZ and one of your fellow divers offers you their rig to jump and another diver sits one out so you can get on a load you realize your part of something special until they ask for the beer you owe them LOL!

    I really don't have a way at the moment but all you do is sit at the top away from the lines and roll it up like a sleeping bag. Then pull your bag over it and stow lines . Just make sure you don't push the slider down when you roll it and be sure to check your PC. Granted i don't have 1000s of jumps on this method all i can say is i havn't had any problems in my limited jumps with it. EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion! REV.

    I feel your pain totally. I was there not so long ago. Due to some issues with a DZ closing down and a lot of other stuff including the weather it took me a year to get my A. Once i got my A and i found a new place to jump they had no gear to rent. I now have my own gear so now things are alot better although i'm waiting for a reserve pack now. Fortunaly for me one of the awesome guys i jump with let me jump a pilot 188 he had while he jumped another rig. It was really a good jump and i had so much fun it really recharged my passion for the sport. To top it all off the jump ended with a good soft stand up landing. Some weeks are bad but all it takes is one good day to bring it all back to ya. Good Luck on you future jumps! EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion! REV.

    Good info thanks bro. Personaly for me the 180 is not that bad but it's just one more thing. Since i'm new i like to keep it as simple as i can. EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion! REV. DUDEMIESTER D.S.#120

    I Just thought the frogs would want to be a part of this! I also figured they can use this method next time it rains frogs so it doesn't hurt so damn bad when they hit the ground.

    I can't speak for everyone but to me it's a 100x easier than S-folding. The only thing is that you dont criss-cross it. While the lines are over your shoulder you Coccoon it as with the normal pro method. I havn't had any problem with fabric squirting out at all. In my opinion you get the best of both worlds. No 180s, no S-folds, and no fabric going crazy and jacking up your work. EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion! REV. DUDEMIESTER D.S.#120

    Yes thats exactly right. No 180s. After you make your caccoon roll(pro pack method) and put the canopy on the floor. Squeez the canopy down to the width of the bag as you normally would for a pro pack. Then pull the bridal to the side just like a psycho pack and roll from the bridal end down just like the normal psycho pack. It's really just a pro pack with the canopy rolled rather than S-folded. I learned this from a packer. All i did was give it a name. EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion! REV. DUDEMIESTER D.S.#120

    I was shown this bagging method by a packer when i was learning to pack. Everything is the same as a pro pack but After you cacoon(same as Pro) the tail around the pack job you roll it like a psyco pack. I have done this since i learned how to pack and havn't had any problems . I was just wondering if anyone else does this???????????? EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion!

    LOL +1 I was sure my rag wasn't going to open on my first pack job. The funny thing is after i found out it would open if i pack it i was fine from then on. Another thing is that before i became a skydiver i never had a hint of nervousness in any plane small or large. I just practice my ep's and think about the jump to keep my mind off the "what iffs".

    I agree totaly. I'm not going to lie. I don't have alot of cash but i can't see such expensive custom items being cut before the full amount is paid. It's one thing to make payments on a ready made item but another to have something custom made for 10% down and expect to get the full amount. Any kid or adult who can't manage money can come up with $200 for 10% down on a $2000 container. How many can cough up $2000 out of the blue when the container is ready? Your average kid working at mcdonalds might make what $200 to $300 week??? So it's easy to put in 10% on an impulse and then decide they cant afford it when they find that taking money out every week for a rig is leaving them broke and without beer money(MMMM BEER). EARTH!

    Yeah i definatly understand that point. My instructor and coach are always trying to include me on RW jumps(i do appreciate that!) but i'm lucky if i don't blow the exit LOL. I wanted to show my friends at work why i was spinning around and walking back and fourth in the privacy of the mens room(got busted "playing skydiver" again) so i downloaded a video. They pretty much heckled me for being a dumbass if i can't do that without practice. EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion! REV. DUDEMIESTER D.S.#120

    All very good points. I guess i'll have to get some videos to watch during the week. Hey if you dudes arent doing anything tonight i was going to make a beer run, call a stripper and order Rock/Paper/Scissors on Pay per view! Then after we get drunk, hold a spelling bee while the stripper dances! EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion! REV. DUDEMIESTER D.S.#120

    Is there a channel in the US that shows any skydiving, base jumping or swoop contests ect. on a regular basis? Or is there no need to put it on TV since skydivers actually do something rather than just watch it? EARTH! Short bus of the universe, since the year T+10.3 billion! REV. DUDEMIESTER D.S.#120
