CanuckInUSA 0 #6 July 29, 2005 There are tricks to packing that "slippier than owls shit" canopy of yours. Get a packer to show it to you if they've got time. Good luck with it either way ... I'm sure you'll enjoy it. There's something to be said for flying a brand spanking new canopy. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nate_1979 9 #15 July 30, 2005 QuoteIt came with movies, software, popcorn and a lighter? UPDATE: My rigger hooked it up, I packed it (only took me TWO tries!!! Actually, I found this NEW SLIPPERY as shit canopy easy as hell to pack!! Guess I got used to it on my old canopy,. .. On the second attempt, it only took me about 20-25 minutes to get the packjob done, really happy about that!) It's ready to jump... My rigger and myself did decide not to pack the popcorn, lighter, movies, software, and cardboard box into my container... FGF #??? I miss the sky...

nanook 1 #20 July 30, 2005 Yup, it took only two tries to get my new canopy into the bag too. you might not be that lucky all the time though, but when you are under the gun and you have to make the next jump and shit is just not going in the bag, I have only one thing to say for encouragement . . . .HA HA HA HA HA HA Suckerrrrr. . . No, seriously.
