It wasn't I. But it was one my students. Peter the Rocket man designed it. I will ask him to supply details and photos. I should see him soon. Take care, space

The "Para-Innovator" by Hank Aschiutto (sp) was my first BASE PC's (ca 1988). 16 gore hemi. Quite stable, definitely over a pound and quite a handful. Take care, space

It´s a self correcting manuver. Jumpers nowadays only do it (hook turn into the ground) once. Then they stop. take care, space

It's a knot, with tension. Like tying a knot in the middle of the line to another line or group with a halfhitch. That is the simplest.

Wow! I just turned away for a moment and my precious one was gone! I jumped high and low but no precious one. Know that she likes to hide in beer bottles, I opened about a dozen and still couldn't find her. I kept checking all the way home. I will make some provision as discussed before so my precious one can be reunited with my foot. I am following the first step in you request and can confirm that the ad is place in the newspaper like you asked. Here is precious one's brother with the some money. Yikes! take care, space -
Nope, Doing a PLF on a vertical wall or objects will give you line twists take care, space

“The F-word” “well done Felix” “Nice one in the roof” What up? First poster posts about “The F-word” which means “fuck” in my book. 2 other posters on the same subject get their threads locked down because they didn’t stick with the main thread (fuck?) including the only one with a word about the actual subject of the post. Please post more descriptive topic titles. Thanks, That is all, space

I agree. No one will ever be able to jump from a helicopter again. That is really crap.

Not just a building, a building with a "twist"!

Dang, he made CNN's "Play of the Day". I hear they pay lots for this. What was he thinkin'? Anyone who wants to jump from a Helicopter onto that building has just got burned. And don't forget the MC rider, I hear he got fined 20$.

I'll try to get some photos later of the Omega folds if you are interested. I'm not a clamper but it would be clamper friendly. I like it because for me it: a. Gives big access to the nose to speed up the opening or slow it down. b. Gives a lot of "control access points" when folding. c. Fills the tapered BASE rigs better by being tapered (important on Velcro rigs). take care, space

Mighty nice posts there guys. I only have one issue. Large PCs and front risers don´t go together very well from my experience. I pounded in the "freshly plowed field" with a canopy collapse. The canopy was a Raven III (WL 0.75), the PC was a 50". When I pulled on the left front riser the end cells met in the front. and the risers lost pressure. The canopy started dropping and I started pumping and almost got the canopy reinflated. The landing knocked the breath out of me but I was able to do a few more jumps that day inspite of it. take care, space
