BaronVonBoll 0 #1 August 21, 2009 I am jumping a a sabre one. The one one jump I must not have rolled thr nose very well and I got slammed a bit on opening. I was thinking about that opening on my next jump and reached for my risers to early. my ring finger on my right hand got between the front and rear risers just as the opening shock hit. I didnt get spanked but I broke my finger just below the first joint on the finger. Lesson learned! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUT I DO look after my slider very well. (.)Y(.) Chivalry is not dead; it only sleeps for want of work to do. - Jerome K Jerome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not entirely convinced that it's necessary to start grabbing risers quite that early in the deployment either. Lesson learnt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbiceps 0 #8 August 24, 2009 I have a sabre 1 also and got sick of having to stuff around with the nose when packing. Get a bigger slider made up that is 33 x 30 inches and your problems will be solved. I pack mine in no time and dont touch the nose and it has the nicest openings every time. best $100 i have ever spent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUT I DO look after my slider very well. rolling the nose just opens the door for off-headings and linetwists i figured on mine. i DO push the nose in tough. and make damn sure the slider is quartered nicely, i also pull the side that faces the nose out maybe one inch! has NEVER spanked me in almost 200 jumps! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
