christoofar 0 #1 September 15, 2002 Okay, I guess I'll start since it's RAINING right now! 1:5:0 I had 1 most AWESOME canopy opening experiences I have EVER had in my life! Sabre2's already have a soft opening, but this was REALLY soft, perfectly on heading (not even off by a degree), and not a single turn after it went into flight. What's crazy is... I had slop-packed it before I jumped it. Also did some RW in shorts 'n tee (my fav way, since I'm a floater) and did a fun four-way. Also did some low alti. jumps to help boost my accuracy % The Saturday ended with lots of ice cold beer, then a trip to San Marcos to consume massive quantities of down-home pizza. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!
