    The funniest bit is you didn't know that. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    If you're trying to cool attention to an object, you may want to change what you list as your DZ. Just a thought.

    Unfortunately your argument doesn't hold water. While we must (in the USA) jump TSO'd equipment, we are not required to use it within the confines of the TSO. If we were, most freeflying would be illegal. (The higher than TSO'd speeds.) ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    It is MOST accurate when it's not being burbled inside a helmet. It's still pretty accurate when in a helmet. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    That only applies to PD reserves currently. The most wear the average reserve gets is durring the packing process, so having them packed more often than required really isn't good. To the original poster, you can have them packed sooner (most people do by a week or so), but there is no "+" grace period. At 120 days it turns into a pumpkin. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Cool, I can respect that. I didn't apreciat being accused of going off half cocked. See how easy it is to get bent outta shape on here? Pax?

    Assume I did, because..........well, I did. Be the bigger grown up.

    Not being able so see it well, but the fact is a RB demo, and it's location, I'd guess a BASE canopy in a large skydiving rig. Nothin illegal about that. Deployment altitudes are a BSR only aplicable to a USPA DZ. On a demo if it's not specified by the approving FSDO and it's not busting an FAR then it's all good..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are.

    Hey ya'll, I don't know this guy, but sounds like he tried to join in the normal banter around here, maybe said a dumb thing or two (who here hasn't?) and is now trying to save a little face while keeping the door open to feeling welcome here still. The overall tone of this thread has become "you're not one of the cool people, go away and don't bother us." The threats ain't helping a bunch either, they just seem childish and low brow..... Everyone lighten the fuck up and go skydive..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The best were Jeb's (can't remeber the title of his trailer) and "4 days in Lodi." Oh, and my camera work in "Happy Birthday Crystal" was stellar if I do say so myself. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    errr....you need help. There's a DZ not far away....get to it. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Yes, but there's more stuff I want to do. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    What do you mean "thrown clear". Unless you're entangled with it, the moment you breakaway your gonna seperate from it big time. Hell, if you breakaway from it when it's flat and stable it'll still be huge seperation. Yep. Time in freefall after a breakaway, and altitude above you is wasted. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    If a camera jacket doesn't come with them already included in the price, they are gouging you. It's a standard part of a camera suit. They are not the same as wheat you'd use in an RW suit though.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    And it seems to be more prevalent with smaller sizes. In my experience, there are no real performance issues with a 150 Dash M at the 1.25 loading. I wouldn't jump one much over 1.3. The thing to remeber with the Dash M series, is that they can be landed sucessfully at higher loadings but most people are not familiar with how an F111 seven cell flys and are too excited when riding it to realize that the full range of control is there, it's just "compressed" into the top of the control range. One could alter that by lengthing control lines but then you'd have a control range that hade a "dead" spot in the top of the range. If planning to load higher, select a more modern design, like the RMax, Smart, or PDR. Re: your cutaway, if you just want to test the canopy, it would be far easier to just pack it as a main in another rig. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    The continued regular occurance of good skydivers going in with absolutely nothing out scares me far more. _Am One could argue they ain't that good then....... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

    Really? That's why every modern sport reserv, most military freefall gear, oh and pilot emergency rigs all open the container BEFORE exposing the P/C to the relative wind? Your opinion, is just that, and opinion. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
