How many reserve rides?

Recommended Posts

Two reserve rides

1 - I didn't pack it, at about 900 jumps, PD143R - beautiful opening, control and landing!

2 - Damn, I did pack it, at about 1500 jumps, PD113R, another great opening, control and landing!

I now have over 2300 jumps, damn again, sounds like I'm do. I have a PD106R in my containers. But I already jumped the PD106R hooked up as a main in both 12mph winds and no winds. Sweet!! It won't be a problem if I need it!

3 reserve rides in my past 175 jumps. But wait all 3 of them were in the first 75 jumps on my most recent canopy. So I am am upto 100 jumps with no reserve rides with this canopy. Oh and there was one other one last year that was my first one ever with 9 years in the sport and well over 1200 jumps.
If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound.
Nothing to eat, no books to read.

2 reserve rides in 308 jumps.

One FXC fire which gave me a PD253R in addition to my Skymaster 230 (>2000 ft), took a looooong time to get down, had to finally cut it away at 1000 ft because it was downplaning (strange sight, your canopy right in front of you! did it again later tho, on purpose, doing CRW ;)).

The other reserve I ever saw up close was one I actually asked for, because my safire spun up.
