BUSTED !!!!! LMFAO!!!!!! "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

QuoteKeep your gear in good condition and leave as little bridal exposed as possible. I have a 95 Dolphin and I get a lot of looks when people see it and my Free Fly suit together.Quote if you have any bridle line exposed to the air on your dolphin ask a rigger about putting some velcro on it where it comes out of your main container to the BOC pouch.

they only require a 2 year inspection done by the factory. "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

may need some new velcro on there. "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

is it a ROL or a BOC ? "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

just have to meet all the requirements for your B and just send in the paperwork. why waste the money for the A ,when you can spend that money on jump tickets ! "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

hey skybytch , got any pics to back this up ? "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

nice looking rig ! that is the first one i've seen with the wings logo on the BOC. "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

here is an oldie but a goodie i heard yesterday at a job interview ! : you jump out of a perfectly good airplane? i said have you seen all the ducktape on the plane? i wouldnt call it perfectly good ! "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

throwing handles is a serious BEER offense ! plus the bottle for your rigger , which should be your #1 priorityDONT FORGET ABOUT THE RIGGER ! "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

the best way to learn to pack is to watch several different people. everyone packs just a little bit different than everyone else. after you do that you can take a little bit from each person and then you have your own packing style.

yes i know the marks are an estimated length , but his canopy could have been miss marked ! for example : his 150 sabre2 could have been marked for the lenght of a 120 sabre2. alot of people that make canopies , dont skydive , are not riggers, and probably dont know what that mark is for.

FF time: 53 seconds did you record that jump in your logbook as 53 sec. of freefall ? "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

should have taken pictures of it and sent them in to the manufacture , could be some good advertisement for them and maybe a few bucks for you , or at least a free t-shirt ! "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"
-
the best thing to do is contact the manufacture and ask them what the lenght of the brake lines is supposed to be . it could be that your canopy was miss marked and the inspector didnt catch it. "Trust your Rigger with your Life , but not your Beer or your Wife !"

*** but disconnecting the reserve can be a good idea too(which of course requires a master rigger). #1 : you do not have to be a master rigger to disconnect a reserve. #2 : disassemble the entire rig , wash the harness with soap and water , hang up to dry , reassemble it. any rigger can do it.

I heard that there might be a new DZ opening up somewhere on the Virginia / North Carolina border somewhere ? does anyone have any info on this ?
-
it is really up to you which reserve you want to buy. sounds like you are making a wise decision in getting a larger reserve. i have packed alot of tempos and also own one myself. they pack up real nice, material is easy to work with. just because tempos are cheaper than a raven , doesnt mean they are an inferior canopy, they are all tested under the same standard guidelines. save your money and go with the tempo. more expensive doesnt mean better quality.
-
put some jumps on your hornet and try it out. each canopy is a little different ,the only way to find out how it opens is to jump it ! the key to a good opening is the slider , pull it out in front , pull it way out there. mine opens great , no problems so far.
-
Hey Michele, tomorrow is my birthday too ! 34 , Damn i feel old !
-
might want to carpool with someone to the DZ sometime !
-
let me rephrase that ! are there any skydivers living in Roanoke ? hey , thanks for the website , lots of info there!

I love my new canopy!! My brand new Sabre2 arrived last Friday and i finally got to jump it today!! It is so much nicer than my stiletto. I only got a chance to jump once. My baby opened up in line twists, but i easily cleared them and had a blast under canopy!! Just wanted to share my happiness. __________________________________________ if you had doubts about jumping that "spinletto" you will really love jumping your sabre2.

does anyone live in roanoke ?

>What's a REEFING system??? Keeps your canopy from opening too quickly. Modern parachutes generally use a slider, but older parachutes used more complex systems - rings and ropes, or pilot chute controlled reefing. Some ejection seat systems actually use cutters to release the skirt, I believe. (yikes) -bill von _______________________________________________ yes Bill its called ACES 2 ejection seat, uses a reefing line to slow the opening of a C-9 round canopy. cutters are attached to the canopy and they cut the reefing line so that the canopy can fully inflate.
