Elisha 1 #36 July 3, 2006 How old was this canopy? What was it (manufacture, model and size)? How many jumps? Just curious. I found the freebag (or whatever the orange thingamajig is) for a tandem cutaway. We were starting to give up when I noticed an orange thingy. Some fun, suitless dives at Byron on Saturday!

Got some video of it! FIRST jump out of a 182...very fun. Note to self...don't jump up...that tire is awful big and can hurt (came about 6" from hitting my face). Last jump of the day...was a little expensive, but not as expensive as grue's! Turned 6,7,or 8 points, but can't remember. Started pull @ 4,000 (my normal where I feel safe). The center of the chute kept collapsing. Unstowed my brakes so I could flare and get it inflated but went immediately into a left spin that I had no way to recover from. It took both hands to get my main cut away, but got the reserve pulled easily. So, FIRST reserve ride. Had VERY BEAUTIFUL blue canopy over my head by 2,000, landed spot on and went looking for my trash. Didn't even occur to me to keep ahold of them (I couldn't have cared less about them at the time). With help, found all of my trash which was right on the taxi-way. Nice to know I can handle a high speed mal and not panic. Cool thing, the reserve was due for re-pack on the 18th! Damn this sport kicks my ass. Every weekend is something different. I LOVE IT!! Hopefully will get in 3-4 more jumps tomorrow!!Oh, and taking my B license test tomorrow! Wish me LUCK!!To borrow a line from Squeak...MY LIFE ROCKS!! HOW'S YOURS??!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Dolph 0 #47 July 4, 2006 0:18:1. Need new lines on the Katana.
