HydroGuy 0 #6 July 8, 2006 Is this a joke? My friend Dale is from Mississippi, and I believe he's lurking around some reddish hued cliffs at the moment... Last time I checked he wasn't quite up to death camping people, but...

base754 0 #10 July 9, 2006 This guy just came through Phoenix and was jumping this getto system. Last I herd he was heading to Moab to hookup with Dale Mclemore to teach him how to use the dual ring double throw zip rig. And i do mean you have throw twice put the second pitch is for backup!

kameradale 0 #11 July 9, 2006 kurt you big dummy i killing no body not even myself i am using a perigee 2 not a zip rig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base754 0 #12 July 9, 2006 Dale your a smart man stay away from this zip rig and stick with the velcro! I think his name is Hamett W... This rig is body position sensitive. If your planning on going head low you have to rig it different then if your planning on being head high. There are 2 zippers on this rig 1 for head low deployment and the other is for head high deployments.............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phil6086 0 #20 July 9, 2006 I dont have many base jumps but i think the best proved rigs are velcro and then double pin rigs. a rig should expel the shoot in a heads up deployment or heads down deployment. hopefully your belly to earth which is proper deployment every time. Just a thought a closing loop with the pin works for skydiving rigs and base rigs just fine i hope no one in trying to improve on a perfect system that the i described above doesnt die trying to get something unique jsut my expeience when people are unique they get hurt and die.Just a thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inzite 0 #21 July 9, 2006 QuoteThat's just 2 zippers laid side by side on top of a shrivel flap. Wouldn't catch me jumping it. All my experience with zippers shows that they get stuck half-way down. Usually with beans and frank somewhere caught in the equipment. While running from the cops near bourbon street.Brings back bad memories. I wouldn't touch it.
