  7. I own a Hurricane by Sky Systems..a little costly but a nice Helmet. If you own a Pro track it easily mounts to the side. The adjustable dial in the back snugs the Helmet up to your forehead and neck area. I really enjoy my helmet it also lets me wear my Oakleys snug with no way for them to blow off your face in Freefall. Worth checking out... The glass is half full or half empty doesn't matter.

  12. Yes, This should help flatten your Glide out a bit while your downwind and help you make it back to your intentional landing area. Remember all Parachutes react different. Depending on the Wing and Load. This is a practice I learned from a more Experienced Jumper flying a High Performance Wing similar to mine. It seems to work for me.
  13. U got enough Money in the Bank???? If so F--- it go have some fun dress warmly... The glass is half full or half empty doesn't matter. Let go and have the Lord guide your path. He will take care of it all.

  16. Precisely, using rear risers changes the Canopy's Pitch or angle of attack. Different Parachutes may or may not react differently. I do know when I was short and was last on a load to exit I would open high use about an inch or two of rear risers and I could outfly just about anyone on my DZ and make it back. Thats flying a Xaos 78 21 cell loaded at 158 lbs. As for using Front risers --gonna have a whopping good time and get down a little faster.. The glass is half full or half empty doesn't matter.

  17. Well Said Chris, Thats why I refuse to Post or reply on anything Political. The Facts are the Facts. Ones Views or Ideas are always a Basis for Criticism.

  18. Well, Just depends on what kind of Parachute you fly- may have some factors involved. I dont make a habit of Jumping my Xaos 78 Barefooted....IE Could be Dangerous...ha..so I would consider Jumping a more Docile type canopy for Barefoot landings...and having good Canopy control to land in A grassy area.. its fun and quite an experience if you decide to...

  21. Like I said its just Personal Preference..Just like Riding Motorcycles I would rather take my chances with one on my Head than nothing at all..Just my Preference..There are occasions though I may Jump without one...like you say Chris wanna hear the Slow ... Tune your Flight kinda thing while Birdmanning... especially Solo to see how your flying..
  22. I believe it was Pamela.... Wing Walker Pamela.....First time I ever met her she came to the Dz back in 94 I believe..Tn Skydiving Center..Tullahoma..Last I remember she left and went to Perris...She used to jump at Orly Kings place long time ago...in Eagelville, Tn as well. Hey Pamela....U still around????? Remember we both had Hot Looking Rigs..ha..ha The glass is half full or half empty doesn't matter. Let go and have the Lord guide your path.

  23. Helmets are personal preferences to wear or not. I choose to wear one not only for the protection of my Melon but my hearing as well. Try Skydiving for many years and dont wear much Helmet protection...you dont realize it but your Hearing starts to go to crap...I often talk to Skydivers who have been Jumping many years and they say they wish they would have worn more protection to help prevent some of their hearing Loss. The Decibel rating is Quite high in Freefall believe it or not...
