Thanks JT, now I can sleep again without re-repeating the punchline and don't get it.. time after time..

Am I the only one then who doesn't 'get' the joke?

There is usually a loud "JIIIHHAAAAWWWW" Good canopy openings rule!

Atom here.. popular rig in Europe.. serves and fits me great! no piccies available..

Thanks.. I did fine! only got to go to 5000ft, so I did a 5 second delay. the Stiletto opened like a dream (on-heading and sssssssmoooth!).. Exactly the what you said: handle with care.. Turns are much quicker. Only thing I didn't like is that I didn't feel any pressure on the steeringlines while making a turn.. That's probably just a thing to get used to though.. Next saturday I hope to make a high c&p and just play around for a few minutes.. Skydiving beats working any time!

GO JUMP! grin... 31st december and I'm the only one at work here.. the DZ is only 5 mins away and the weather is getting jumpable.. My own rig is being repacked at the moment, so I borrowed a friend's Stiletto. I usually jump a Sabre (same size).. anyone can offer me a few words of advice (what to do and don't do other than don't do anything stoopid below 2000 ft)? Thanks!

somehow I think this person is not going to wait 500 jumps before trying his Velocity

Disclaimer.. I know nothing... cut away, then pull reserve. when the reserve is out of the container, the main pin will have a bigger chance of getting loose enough to activate the main canopy.. and that is something I'd rather avoid.. I'm sure this discussion has been on these forums one more than one occasion, and there are enough (valid) motivations for either action. Most important is to do (whatever action you take) what you plan to do and do it quickly! Blue skies!

1 (Christmas tree decorated at the DZ):0:0 This weekend pretty much sucked...

Can anyone post the picture here, or put up a link? The 300-way website is temp. disabled

He Jarno! Congrats on your 100th jump! And.. nice upper winds, right?
-
:1:1 My first: jumping with 50knts wind (at 3000ft, only 20knts on the ground).. YIKES! That's bloody fast! Had to land off DZ though.. which made me realize I'd best quit jumping while ahead

Have another coffee (or a beer, depending on your timezone or needs) :) and then read the post you're replying to.. Cheers!
-
hahaha... Thanks.. needed a laugh..

Hi! Check the incidents forum
-
OMG! I bet that made one hell of a video! My personal lowest is 2500 from both freefall and c&p. Low enough..

Hey! Congrats! Nice feeling to finally be jumping your own rig, isn't it?! I'm surprised you got to jump last weekend... the weather over here was really shitty... Cheers! -
Well, I guess we'll never know now, will we?
-
haha! Striving for world-domination are we?
-
Good morning all! Good coffee... well.. that just depends on where you drink it, I assume.. I started my job at a new company a few weeks ago.. can't get used to the outright horrible coffee here.. br... on a brighter side: it's a beautiful weather here! Too bad it's not saturday or sunday today..
