VanillaSkyGirl 6 #151 September 22, 2003 Thank you, I will definitely have Joel pack for me. It's sad because I have a Spectre, but the openings have never been as soft as my openings on all the other Spectres that I have jumped. (Maybe my trim is off?) Those had the loooooooooongest snivels EVER!!! I must have set one toggle the wrong way because my right toggle holder was ripped completely off, and I went into a deep spin on opening! Ouch...

I figured out today that he's already saved me $250 in packing fees since Memorial Day. Chop Chop showed me on Saturday, but I think I am going to stick to pro-packing for now. I haven't jumped it yet, but it sure looks like it is going to be nice and soft! I always roll the nose pretty good, since I want soft openings when I wear a camera.

I'll bring my smoke as well, but i'll keep it for a sunset tracking dive You is on for that ? You can't determine the length of your life - but you can control its height and depth.

bill2 0 #156 September 22, 2003 What the hell is a psycho pack? Does it hurt? Is it easier than the regular packing routine (over the shoulder, etc.). I'm asking because I have the worst time packing, or trying to pack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just found this website, as I wanted to read up on it a little more as well: http://precision.aerodynamics.com/psycho/psycho_pack.htm According to chopchop they hurt less it looks like they should open fairly slow.

skymama 37 #158 September 22, 2003 QuoteWhat the hell is a psycho pack? Does it hurt? Is it easier than the regular packing routine (over the shoulder, etc.). You still separate the lines over your shoulder, but before you throw it on the ground, you put a twist in the lines. Then you do a little fixing and straightening here and there before you roll it into the bag like a sleeping bag. After that, you take the line twist out and everything else is the same. It's mostly just an alternate way to get it in the bag if you're having trouble with the pro-pack.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #159 September 22, 2003 QuoteAccording to chopchop they hurt less it looks like they should open fairly slow. Yep, yep, that too. It's really quite amazing to me that I get as good as openings that I do, considering that I haven't been packing that long. Plan accordingly for that slow opening.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chopchop 0 #160 September 23, 2003 The main reason to psycho-pack is ease for getting the canopy in the bag.. Openings are similar to a pro-pack.. it is just way easier to control all that nylon when it is rolled up like a sleeping bag than when you do the ess-fold.. especially on a slick new canopy. Easier makes it faster.. Now.. people that are already pretty experienced pro-packers would probably not find this any faster.. For both skymama and ladyskydiver, it helped them alot as they simply could not get their canopies in the bag when they tried to pro-pack.. I taught them the psycho-pack and Voila! they were both packing on their own. As far as your openings hurting.. there are ways to slow down the openings on a pro-pack as well as a psycho-pack.. Your openings shouldn't hurt. Catch me at the boogie and we'll take a looka t what you are doing.. chopchop gotta go... Plaything needs a spanking..

vdschoor 0 #161 September 23, 2003 A trick I use to get the canopy in the bag fairly easy is to fold the top first, stick it in the bag, and then fold the bottom in. This has the same end result as when you fold it completely outside the bag, it's just easier to get it in. I had a really hard time when I just got my canopy, and someone showed me that trick, and it works for me. Iwan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Girlfalldown 0 #162 September 23, 2003 Paul from Byron taught me a little trick with my Spectre that's made my packing so much nicer and easier. It doesn't look as nice as the psycho pack but it works for me. I'll show you if you want or you can ask Paul. He's probably much better at explaining it. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
