Spy38W 0 #1 December 31, 2002 Been bummed out the past week because Santa hadn't brought my Christmas present yet, finally talked to the people at the other DZ and found out it's been sitting there for a week.

Michele 1 #6 December 31, 2002 QuoteIt's so little. Is that something you should say to a man? LOL, I remember sitting at the Bomb Shelter listening to men brag about their canopy size...and of course, I opened my mouth and said "you just gotta love a sport where men sit around bragging about having a tiny one..."...

Spy38W 0 #7 December 31, 2002 QuoteWhat size did you end up getting? Was supposed to be a 100 originally, but it got sold before I could get it, so I had to settle for a 108 -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spy38W 0 #12 December 31, 2002 Quote Hey, Spy...once it's all hooked up, post a pix...I can't really see it while it's in the bag... Awright, here ya go... I think it has a semi RDS system now as I drank too much while hooking it up and forgot to tighten the Rapide link with a wrench before putting it in the bag. It sure is nice to pack in that 150/170 size bag. Quote And for me, my mother today put $50 onto my account at Perris...so as soon as I get this escrow closed, I shall be airborn again! Yahooooooooo!!!! Awesome stuff, congrats, I'm glad to hear your mother is at least semi-supportive. I still haven't told mine that I've had more than one reserve ride. -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spy38W 0 #15 January 1, 2003 Quote Hey, Spy...once it's all hooked up, post a pix...I can't really see it while it's in the bag... And here's one of it hooked up and outside of the D-bag... Was hoping to jump it today, but after I dropped off the boss I flew to the DZ and found that the winds were too insane to land an airplane, much less a canopy, so I just spread it out and did a full line check and tightened the rapide link from the canopy to the d-bag/PC to the canopy. Funny, I really hated the colors when I first opened the box, but less than 48 hours later it's starting to grow on me. -- Hook high, flare on time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
