Dunno, I'm in that boat with you though.

Hrm, change them a lot as in, make them harder? - My thinking is that this will make the canopy act as though I'm pulling on the front risers by the amount I'm (hypothetically again) adding to the rears. And just to bring up a point for whoever might take this past hypothesis stage, I *believe* that metal to metal (additional hard links) is bad... I think this may apply... -- Hook high, flare on time

Cool, thanks all, late night insomniatic thoughts going on. I should have specified non-Cobalt info, but I managed to get some anyway. Thanks again -- Hook high, flare on time

Now THAT sounds like a good Halloween costume..

Picture a student that got his/her training from that plane, everything else would suck..

Stuey was the DZO previously, but he has since moved on... Talk about a major Skydiving Soap Opera -- Hook high, flare on time

Gawd, I haven't had Arrogant Bastard for a couple of years now. I used to have a friend in California that sent it to me, but no longer. Hrm, maybe if I order something from Square 1 I can get Lisa to snag me a 6 pack...

Snopes Sucks....

Not exactly sure where to put this, but I thought this might be the best... I was thinking about how skysurfers deploy in a stand on the board, wondering about how fast they are usually going when they dump, and do they get slammed? Or do they do something different with packing or equipment to soften the openings? -- Hook high, flare on time

Who would chop with only a broken steering line?

>But lets not get back into the knife or not thing here again.. Aww, c'mon, let's have another round of beating the dead horse! Seriously, what's the argument on _not_ wearing a knife? Oops, I agree, let's not start it again. The reason I don't wear the one that I have is because I haven't found a good way to attach it yet. I got the one in the attachment because it looked like it would be easy to get a grip on. It had an optional pouch for $4 so I got that too assuming it would hold it nicely, but it doesn't secure the knife at all, and I don't want a knife floating anywhere around my flesh/rig. I'm just going to break down and buy the knife from Mirage and have my rigger put a snap on my legstrap -- Hook high, flare on time -
This is something I've been thinking about lately. I was wondering what would happen if I (hypothetically) put an extra connector link between the lines and the rear risers (increasing the length of the rear lines.) -- Hook high, flare on time

I saw video of my instructor getting *slammed* by the Cobalt I was demoing, and also one other person who tried it got a slammer also. I didn't pack either of those though. I put 100 jumps on a Cobalt 150 @ 1.3 and never got slammed by it. Dumped in a track most of the time, in a sit a bunch of times, and headdown 3 or 4 times. Always nice for me. -- Hook high, flare on time

Yeah, I saw a pair about a month ago. I thought they were normal FF pants till I saw the vents and then saw the Track Pantz logo on them. -- Hook high, flare on time

Oh, the hooknife that's been sitting on my desk since I bought it? -- Hook high, flare on time -

Ah, but was it a red Swingline stapler? Nah, I used a Black Swingline 646 with SF4 staples

Ok, smarty-pants, if you're so sure, are you going to spill the beans? Yes, please do, I'll be heading back up to Deland sometime soon to make some Birdman flights.

Funny, I did the same thing and got 30 minutes. I first tried a SkyBand/Pen to hold it, but that was too difficult. Stapler was perfect

Yeah, I remember the first time I saw it, September 10th, 2001. Talk about going from one extreme to the other (feeling of total racial tolerance - disliking people who did that.) -- Hook high, flare on time

I wasn't sure about how many people had seen it. Most people I talk to about movies haven't seen it. -- Hook high, flare on time

got it.

Cool stuff. Hey, for some reason when you call the re-order number on the sticker, you'll get to talk to some confused guy who is wondering why people keep asking him about hunting permits.. -- Hook high, flare on time
