SkymonkeyONE 4 #3 June 15, 2001 "Release one riser..."Damn, you beat me to it! Better yet, hook your main up backwards and THEN cut one riser away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeffGordon 0 #4 June 15, 2001 Next time you pack, just make sure to get one of the control lines over the main canopy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut 0 #6 June 16, 2001 okay i'll guess i'll answer this seriously.i just got rid of my pd210 in favour of a sabre 150. but the pd210 was a good canopy untill it opend in like 10 miliseconds, and split a cell. but a "tornado" efect? well i think your talking about a fast toggle turn, just pull one of the toggles down to your waist and it should give a ya a nice fast turn. now fast is all relitive though, i can pull my toggle down to my shoulder on my sabre and spinn way faster than my pd but then it's so much smaller and a diffrent design. but remember, talk to your instuctor/jum master first and see if they think it would be safe for you to o this. i know just starting out it would of scared the hell outa me to pull that toggle down to my waist on my 210 but then again i didn't jump anything smaller than a pd260 untill my 20 something jump....remeber, try if up high if your gona try it and only if it can be done safely........p.s. well yey i guess ya could release one riser, can i do the video????? hold on i'd need to put on a birdman suit to keep up with your fall though...."if dreams are like movies, then memories are like films about ghosts"-counting crows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skreamer 1 #7 June 16, 2001 No, no, no - the only way you are going to get better performance out of a student canopy is by using your hook-knife (that's what it is really there for!). Just keep cutting lines until the desired _tornado_ effect has been reached... (and the DZO will give you major props for this too!)/sDISCLAIMER : subtle6 - I don't know if your post was just the biggest troll ever, but in any case, please understand that the surgeon general has determined that following any of the *advice* you have been given here will result in bad shit happening to you!

No problem, a half (girlie glass) of lager shandy should be enough for you... /sPS I'll be at Hinton this Friday (but DON'T tell Emma!) and Langar on Saturday (weather permitting) - yourself?PPS I am freaking sick of saying weather permitting whenever referring to skydiving here, and my prospective tandem friends' nerves are shot with all the postponements!

Kris 0 #13 June 18, 2001 Quote Kris-I almost pissed my pants reading your post. LOL!-JB Heh, sorry, it had to be done. The really sad part is that I am so close to finishing my JM rating that I can taste it. After I send in the paperwork and become "official USPA JM-Boy" and then I won't be able to give out pearls of wisdom like that to the newbies anymore.

RemiAndKaren 0 #14 June 18, 2001 We SHOULD be at Langar this weekend (as u said, freaking weather permitting!)And dont worry, I wont tell Emma about Hinton...And by the way, Canadian beer is good stuff: none of that wimpy 4% lager you see in the UK... Its not 12% belgium nectar, but you dont need 12 pints to get hammered!Remi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
