Volplane Hydraulic Reefing Device
jumpsracer replied to Beatnik's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
Wow, very cool! Thanks for posting. I had the chance to jump a Volplane many years ago in Florida but was warned off because it opened so hard. Wish I taken the chance and jumped it! -
1st Main PD Sabre2 or Pulse? Advice please :)
jumpsracer replied to justinbaker27's topic in Gear and Rigging
I was jumping a 200 elliptical the sucked landing on hot no wind days. I made three jumps on a demo PULSE on a Sunday. Monday morning I ordered one! I made two more and really fell in love with it! It levels out fast after hard toggle turns and the landings are a no brainer even in hot no wind days. This is my opinion of the PUSLE. I've not jumped a SABRE. -
16 year old fun jumper? Is she too young?
jumpsracer replied to Chelseaflies's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Why not? I started jumping when I was sixteen as well! -
Nothing, and I mean Nothing, beats a FireBolt for openings. Call Nancy or Suzie at Jumpshack for a demo. You'll be surprised!
-
WOW, no sleeves and look at the brutal openings! Probably received the cuts from eating his instruments during opening shock!

For those of you who responded THANK YOU!! I'm on a limited budget and can't afford to demo every canopy. I used this poll to determine which canopy to demo...looks like Sabre2 is the winner! Thanks again to everybody who responded!!!
-
So you have no problem sending me $200.00 so I can demo both right? It's simple, if it's Pulse/Sabre then that's what I'll spend my hard earned money on to demo! At over $2000.00 a pop I don't have the time or money to waste on a canopy that doesn't give me the performance I want! Jumper feedback is always important, to me at least, on what gear is worth it/don't waste your time! I asked a simple fucking question to which you come up with a smart ass response! Save your comments for some poor newbie who doesn't know any better!

I'm petty sure I specified which canopy has better bottom end performance. That pretty much narrows it down to what I'm looking for!! I've been jumping a lot longer than most instructors, since 76, so that tired excuse won't work. At $100.00 a pop for a PD demo it can get expensive "trying" them all! If you can't get a straight answer to a straight question then delete this forum as it serves no purpose!!!

I'm in the market to buy a new canopy and am trying to decide between the Pulse or Sabre 2. The main factor is how well each canopy behaves at the bottom end...LANDING!

# 500 tomorrow!

Not too long ago there was a newspaper article on one of the chutes washing up on the Lake Erie shore some 30 years after. If I can find it I'll upload it.

Have someone on the ground video your landings. It's a great help! Also make sure your hands/toggles are all the way up prior to flaring. Whatever you do don't give up!!! Welcome to the sport!
