    Hi kenny !! Thanks man ! Theres more footage of you in the actual DVD. I will arrange so that there will be one copy after a while at the DZ so that you and all the other guys I jumped with may see the full movie.

    Anyone know where the next ESA boogie is aobut to be ? One rumor was Cuba ? Also those who have been in previous events, please share your experiences. How many jumps can you usually make ? I guess the C-130 does not go up every 20 minutes...

    My stows are maby rather large, but pretty tight. But its not usually the "unstow stage" in the opening that will spank me, its rather after the canopy is out of the Dbag IMO...

    Before or after the brake set eyelet? If its after, then it won't make a difference. The hard openings begun after making the brakes longer in the old lineset. The hard openings did continue with the new lineset as I kept the brakes long enough not to deflect the tail...

    Thats a good point... I never thought of that. Now that I think of this, the first 100 jumps I had too short brakes on the canopy, but then the openings were not an issue. Then after I made the brakes maby 15cm longer the openings became harder before and after changing the lineset.

    Hi ! I have a hornet 120 loaded @ 1.5+ (2002 model). It is giving me hard openings. I have now got better results by rolling the nose 4-5 times 4-4 inside leaving the center cell free. The tail im rolling normally about 5 times medium tight. The problem however is that now Im having linetwists sometimes.. I changed the lineset 50 jumps ago and the canopy has about 500 jumps together. I have tried psycho-packing once and the opening was great ! ! Nice and slow and on heading. Allthough I havent started psychopacking yet becouse it takes more time and I would then have to learn how to pack again... Now there are some options: 1. continue rolling the nose like I do 2. Start psychopacking 3. Pocket slider 4. something else... what ? Thanks for the input..

    Do you think its about stenght ? I thought strength wont really help you any more after the canopy (that has a short recovery arc) starts to plane out and you are hanging from the risers with all of your body weight. You will just lift your self up closer to the canopy not the canopy closer to you. Or am I missing something here ?

    According to my memory HC1000 can be loaded while mounted on the top. I could be wrong though.. It is also very well suitable for a top mount.

    Intresting... Do you know what kind of lenses he tested ? What is he mainly filming ? FF , RW , Tandem ?

    In finland a C- or a D-licence is required to perform jumps without instructors supervision. http://www.ilmailuliitto.fi

    I always thought psycho packing does result in a little bit slower openings.. At least that was the case when I tried psycho. So nice and slow openings... Was I just imagining ?

    It wont go..

    IMO mocking someone out of being too short or not being able to make a decent gainer is clearly indicating that these people desire to make someone look really bad in front of others.. In the end one day those people might just find out not many really respect their opinion in anything anymore.. Keep it to the facts please.. Keep your personal relations with Felix Baumgartner out of this.. (if you even have ever met him)

    BMFin reviewed skydive32724's dropzone in Florida

    I dont know if we just look like assholes but the manifest was a little rude. Other than that.. Nice place. Definetly for team training.. The best Restaurant/Bar I have ever seen on a dropzone.

    Skydive Space Center

    BMFin reviewed JCarr's dropzone in Florida

    Not really busy place. The times I visited, not enough people to fill a load. So we drove to DeLand and got to jump right away..

    I visited the dropzone during the week in January and I guess its pretty quiet everywhere in TX at the time. So not many people around. Im sure this is an awesome place when busy in the summer or on the weekends. 40 minutes from the center of Houston.
