I wonder what it is? anyone got any leaks? an new rig would be cool. ????????????????????????????????????????????????"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brabzzz 0 #4 August 10, 2006 I heard the same thing a couple of months ago - an imminent 'exciting thing'. I'm sure there's one on the way, but it's just putting people of buying until they know what it is because - as it might be worth waiting for! --------------------------------------- Ex-University of Bristol Skydiving Club www.skydivebristoluni.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rumors are way more fun than the truth. Let's speculate about which "other" manufacturer will be the first licensed to install Skyhooks in their products. My guess is: Sun Path (Javelin) since they have cooperated with RWS and PD for military sales - via CPS - for several years now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derekbox 0 #12 August 10, 2006 RWS wont be releasing another manufacturers rig with a skyhook... The other manufacturer would release that, RWS would only release the news of the licensing, but that has already been done. Although they will be making some licensing $$$ of it, I doubt they would also call it an exciting release either. I have an idea what it is.... I have heard about it from the "Booth" a while ago and saw a rig with it (an RWS rig) a couple weekends ago. Although it has been long in the making - I asked about it, I think more than a year ago and was told "shortly". ;) But what fun would it be for me to let the cat out of the bag....

I'm working from memory as I'm having difficulty locating any info about it and I don't have a copy of Skydiving in front of me. It's called ParaTelemetry, and more information can be found at http://www.paratelemetry.com Most likely, you will see it integrated into rigs at Symposium 2007 in January at Reno, but some may come out with it before that. All of the container makers listed on the ParaTelemetry site are developing their own adaptations. Art Sherry (Skydive Store) has been travelling with a demo unit, and he has repeatedly reported that reaction has been overwhelmingly positive.

RWS has developed a new, self packing Vector thats takes the work out of packing. As an added bonus, all new Vectors will come with the improved pull up cord which now incorporates a new quick release mechanism. These new units will only be sold in limited quantities as they are made in the new RWS off shore factory located next to Willie's Chocolate factory.....Seriously, the new stuff is really cool"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
