    Did you attend Brian Pangburn's discussion on CReW (Canopy Formation). If so, curious what you thought. Maybe a new thread?
  5. kleggo
    Thanks for bringing this thread back to life. Good stories. I don't have a number, but have stepped off the prow 14 times, perhaps more to come? Be safeish Craig

    I once had a canopy split down ~ 35% of the chord of the center cell. Primary cause = a tad bit too enthusiastic of a delay at Bridge Day one year (prior to mesh slider days). Fortunately it was a boaty "F-111" 7 cell (Bill Gargano Spirit) and I could land in water. Fun times. I sewed it back together and used it for water jumps a few more times before selling it to a newbie................. Got ya. It went into the bin.

    Please make a decision after speaking with and flying with a qualified local resource. Don't listen to people on the internet, except me of course.........

    IMO the world would be a much better place if ALL "guns" vaporized overnight. then it's just hand to hand combat with edged weapons

    That would be for the Perris Valley Ghostriders. Mick added a similar flap for the CFLEX(s). C = CReW Here's a photo of me wearing mine as i backflip out of a Skyvan on a "big way".

    if you have the cash, sure, go for it. money buys experience

    but nobody thinks like that anymore Not true. Some of us still do. Thanks for the Moe memories

    "My Tempo 150 reserve sits pretty tight in my Vector might I be able to get a 170 low pack volume in the same reserve tray ?" in my experience a PD optimum 143 has very nearly the same pack volume as a "standard" PD 126 reserve, so moving up one size is doable if moving from standard to low pack. Ask your preferred canopy vendor to be certain

    looks like black death skulls have been changed black cells :-( pilot-chute-reference-chart-8-2017.pdf

    Perris, not Paris, has $20 jumps Dec 26 2022 - Jan 1st 2023

    the tower has been jumped many times before it was sold by Stupak to Strato. Probably jumped post strato also, but not by me or friends. how can something be "CGI jumped" and a neighbor watch it?
  19. kleggo
    yes but it was called the Bob Stupak tower when we were having our fun maybe Las Vegas has a very efficient police force, or at least they did back in the day.

    I saw him and said the same thing to Maya while watching / playing.

    Thanks for sharing this interesting story. must have been a good camera flyer to match your velocity, no that I know that much about head down attitude speeds.

    unpack your main, store it loosely folded in a waterproof container in a dark area. If you use rubber bands, don't leave them wrapped around suspension lines since the rubber may / will degrade. clean any dirt from your harness / container, leave the reserve packed and store the "rig" in a waterproof container in a dark area. take it to your rigger for an I&R several weeks prior to jumping again. Have fun.

    Yeah, me too. I was at the bottom. Sadly I watched Brian's daughter watch Brian go-in. Watching her running towards the river screaming "that's my dad" is still all too fresh in my mind. Lottsa controversy of the refresher training he received. Somehow I ended up in a refresher training review "tribunal". I was hounded by NPR for weeks to discuss what the "tribunal" discussed. I chose to not go on the record even though I generally like NPR. Best wishes Mike.
