  1. There are at least 3 other major canopy manufactures that make "soft links". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  2. You said it before I could. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  3. My experience suggests that the canopy probably reacted as it normaly would in relation to the air mass it was flying in, but your and the other jumpers perceptions of movement in relation to the ground is what caused the issues. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  4. You just have to know where the studs are. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  5. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  6. Because with the window seat I can lean my head against the bulkhead and get some freakin rest. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  7. Your rigger puts himself at legal risk by installing it. You are operating a life saving device outside of manufacture's instruction by using it. You are endangering the pilot's certificate by jumping it. You are risking those you're jumping with's saftey if you skydive with it. You don't have to return it, infact I'm looking for one or two expired ones to have for "projects", but not for life saving. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  8. also in the area is Action Air Parachutes ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  9. That is one of my biggest pet peeves in gear maintinence. Twisted brake lines shows the jumper doesn't give a hoot about their gear. It causes premeture weat and shrinkage of brake lines, often leading to poorer landings because of trim issues. It takes such a little amount of time to fix at the end of a jump day before the last pack job. Also most of it can be prevented by simply stowing your brakes before walking in from the landing area (please remember to look out for other trafic while doing this.) Tell your friend they are being lazy. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  10. I was at school watching it live. The school got real quite and pretty much stopped clases for the rest of the day. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  11. THAT was funny! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  12. If the instructor has the skill to do it safely and it produces a better more comfortable langing, how then is it any more or less unsafe than jumping out of a plane with said student? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  13. True, but I have landed a "Raven" at over a 1.5 loading just fine. Now I wouldn't try landing a "MICRO RAVEN" at much over 1.3 but then they were not designed for it. The R-Max lands fine at those loadings and higher....as do the SMART and PDR's I've tried. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  14. I would recomend any of the helmets from Bonehead. Comfortable, custom moulded fit, easy to replace liners, US manufacture, instant and great customer service, and sexy as heck. www.boneheadcomposites.com ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  15. While not much bigger, I can tell you from having spent "a little" time in Perris, it "feels" bigger. The fact it's 8 pannels instead of 10 makes a difference. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  16. It was manufactured by Precision Aerodynamics. May have fallen out of favor since no container manufacturer supplied it with their rig, and they were more complex to build. Good idea though. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  17. Is it wrong to say "Both" ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  18. It's suposed to be a 3 motor 10 foot version. Odds are it won't be hugely popular with skydivers, but should do well with wuffos. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  19. Well shucks. You could of added me and put yourself in the right order... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Seriously.
  21. Then the Gunner is the choice for you. It's a nice helmet, from a great company. Tell em' I sent ya. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  22. Do you want a full face or open face? If you want a full face with a visor then you'll want to look at the Mamba. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
  23. That's hot! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
