18 years young i'm sure you don't see too many people my age around the dz. u tryin to say i'm a babie well at least i'm not old later
-
the openings are the same, the flight is a lot more fun. i am thinking about getting a x-fire 2 for my camera jumps. the x-fire 2 is comparable to a fx. icarus say's the x-fire 2 may fase out the fx. i tend to think differently, but i can see it slowing down the sales of the fx's. there will still be some people who want something a little more than the x-fire 2, but not a vx. just my $.02 later
-
the openings are supper soft, and long snivels. and i guess it will tend to "hunt" for it's heading, but it will settle down as long as you don't try to fix it too much. i have about 100 jumps on a 109 crossfire 1, and about 20 on a 89 crossfire 2. later
-
well, how old is it?? i for got to ask later
-
now, since i don't care for sabre, but i can say a canopy with 300 jumps is still a decent canopy. i would say about 800 bucks, maybe 700 or 750 even. just my opinion, later
-
6 piercings???? were, that would be my question?? i assume not all in one place. later
-
2 tattoos. one of a freeflier, and the other of a guy swooping a pond. and my ear pierced, but i don't currently have a ring in it. later
-
well, i don't think you want to make it bigger because of drag, at least that makes sense to me. and i don't really understand why they are there. i mean you don't need them, or can't give that much more lift, other wise every canopy on the market would have them just my opinion, and opinions are like assholes.................everyone has em.............and they all stink later
-
well i don't have a voodoo, and heres why, i think they look ugly. not the vagina on it, but how it's so round. i just don't care for that. and i also don't like the fact that you can't put in different sized reserve, and main (well other than like 10 sq ft.) and still have it look right. i don't even think they would offer my combination. and i heard that closing the reserve sucks ass, but people told me that about the reflex, and i never thought it was that bad. later

ya, what she said, pro dytters, and pro tracks rock. and they have great costomer service. later

I'd like to introduce you to my new friend...
skygod7777 replied to Cornholio's topic in The Bonfire
what size is it?? later -
no performance advantage, just if you cut someone off, they won't feel you wing voticees as much. that's it, from what i understand, i'm not a canopy designer, i have just heard this, if someone else doesn't answere soon, i'll be back with an answer from my buddy at PISA (he's the engineer, designed all the PISA canopies) later
-
hybrid!!! or something cool, i dont' know. my 100 was from 1800 ft it was bad weather, but i really wanted to make that jump. later
-
no, but it does look pretty trippy later
-
i can agree with that. later

CHRISTMAS CAROLS FOR THE PSYCHIATRICALLY CHALLENGED

ya, maybe part of that is what's wrong with her too later -
ok, i can believe that, but i'm still saying that not all line overs can be caused by bad packing. i used to think this same thing, and after i have jumped a tursh rig, with it being packed to be a line over, and it cleared, or not cleared, but when i looked up it wasn't there, i just changed my look on them. i'm sure sloppy packing would have a lot to do with it. but they way i look at it, sloppy packing leads to hard opening (sometimes), and can help cause a line over. you look at it, as sloppy packing, means lines infront of nose, normal opening, but line over, and like i have said, in my experience with line overs, i have not ever seen this happen. look, i don't want to get the whole world pissed off at me because i have a different opinion on how they happen. later
-
i have heard of this, but it seems easier to just clap your hands infront of you, and then reach behind you, and touch them. then if you loose, or drop what ever you brought of, wuffo's what think it's a bomb or something dumb like that. later
-
i won't argue with you there, but i don't think that these are the cause of the line overs are they?? tandems (as i'm sure you know) all have a higher mal rate than anything else. there is just more material, more shit to go wrong. later
-
ok, i have a question, was there opening hard?? did the canopy breath??? and like i have said above, i have not had experience with a line over caused by a "D" line or brake line ever being infront of the nose. like i said, the one's the i have ever seen, have always been a hard opening. not to say that your wrong, just i have a different opinion on them. and i am aslo going by what we have on video. the ones on video were packed by the people jumping them, and one of them (the 169) the owner is very neat when packing, always making sure to tuck in his brake lines, and keeping everything in the center. later
-
ok, it didn't so here's the site http://store3.yimg.com/I/sexualpositions_1686_8970557 i'm going to try again even though. later sexualpositions_1686_8970557
-
not sure if this worked, but this kinda looks like they're freeflying later
-
i will get my buddy greg to get on here, and post his experience with a tandem line over. i know the guy who pack it, and he is usally very careful when he packs them and to add to this one, with the set 400's and 360's you rubber band some of the brake lines to the "C" lines (or maybe "D" lines, i can't remember for some reason, but i don't think so) so it is even harder to "pack" a line over. later
-
well, i'm not saying that you can't do this, i'm just saying that with my experience, and my dads experience with these mals, we haven't been able to get this to work. later
-
well, this will increase the chance, but it will not make it happen. like i said, we have tried to make a line over happen. we took the nose, pulled it throught the "D" lines, and then rolled the tail, and went and jumped it (this was on a tursh rig, and a older main) but it cleard. also, my buddy vern aka freeflyswc, never tucks his brake lines away. he leaves them out to the side, and i'm sure that every time he lays his canopy down, there right infront of the nose. he has never had a line over. my buddy kevin aka yoshi, he phyco pack, and it is very, and i mean very sloppy. and when he turns his canopy over, his "D" lines, and brake lines are all right by the nose, or infront of the nose. and kevin has never had a problem. now this is just my experience with them, and i may be young, but i grew up on a dropzone, i've seen a lot of things, and this is also my dad's experience with them. and he's only been around the sport for 29 years. later
