councilman24 37 #27 January 1, 2003 Hmmmmm, I knew there was a reason I don't do CRW. Maybe I should list for sale that CRW rig I put together this year.Last ten years is no fun. I haven't had one in 16 years next Febuary. Two tension knots, one blown lines from bad reline, and one PC in tow. Anybody else think that microline is the reason we don't get many tension knots anymore? It sure a lot slicker than Dacron. It's my pet theory. Bill, if you read this, were your tension knots on Dacron or some version of microline? Terry I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Bill - did we find a pattern? (The one I found is that when it is about time to replace the lines it IS time to replace the lines...)

scottbre 0 #30 January 2, 2003 Where's the option for "I haven't had a reserve ride yet"? I only have around 230 jumps so that probably isn't a huge surprise, but a guy I occasionally jump with has over 1000 jumps and hasn't had one yet. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!"

I think Bill Thomason (Of Nemesis) said he had over 4000 before his first reserve ride. ZFunny....it was about the time he started using packers because of the team training...
