mdrejhon 8 #26 March 3, 2011 I learned two things on dropzone.com I wouldn't have quickly learned at any dropzone through normal learning channels: - Before I hit 100 jumps and was having problems afte a reline, I figured out during landing approach I need to preposition my toggles t where the brakes stops being loose and goes taut (the start of the flare band) to quickly adapt to flaring properly when switching between gears, and relines where the lines are longer then expected. - I've found, by a tip, and real life experience, that it's much faster to escape linetwists by pressing risers together, rather than pulling them apart, at least for my canopy. (Yes, really. Yes, seriously. There's a couple of big threads on this.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Switching between different canopies (different types of gear).It's flare not flair, brakes not breaks, bridle not bridal, "could NOT care less" not "could care less".
