kingbunky 3 #6 February 7, 2006 the good news is, my 10 week wait on my new canopy is almost over, but the bad news is it'll be another 3 months before the season starts and i can actually jump it. lotsa time to practice packing it i guess.

sundevil777 102 #11 February 12, 2006 If you do like to flat pack, a version of it that is often called stack packing can be done that keeps the nose pointed straight ahead and splits the tail, just like how reserves can be packed. I'll describe more if interested. I think my stack packing method is easier for large canopies compared to pro packing.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
