In reply to I can't believe they played and replayed the jumper's biffed landings though... thats not what the show should be about. Did anyone catch the fact that the guy was front risering the landing. I don't think winds had anything to do with his crash.

What year did the xfire 2 come out?

not sure but my best guess would be to get hurt. But if someone did it would be great video

stood up my first 56

A good rule of thumb is: If you have to ask then you already know the answer, just looking for reason to change it. The other thing is why do people think that when you hit x jumps you will be ready for something. You have know way of knowing when your ready to downsize untill your there. I spent alot more time on some canopies than others. I don't know your canopy skills at all so i am not going to say anything like your going to kill yourself. But do me a little favor, don't downsize untill you don't have to ask the question just an opinion

My suggestion would be it's all in your head. Your canopy doesn't know the difference between 10 mph winds or 100 mph winds. Think of it this way if your practicing up high and the winds at 7000 ft are 60 mph do you actually know that there is a difference in the way your canopy flies. The same thing applys on the ground only this time you may think things are different becuase of you perseption to the ground. Some turbulance is a different thing than just wind and can have effects on the canopy. I am not a physics major just my thoughts

Just my 2 cents but i love the crossfire 2 my loading isn't as high. But does everything i want it to do and the opening are the bomb best i have ever jumped. Just stay away from a precision built crossfire 1. I havn't had any trouble with icarus in customer service either.

I am one I go to Southern IL University carbondale I started jumping before i came to college and i think i am the only one from my club that ever looks at dz.com From my experience your totally right. They would rather party than jump. But not me

Ok first i would like to say that i have never flown a wing suit. I would love to learn sometime but just havn't got around to it. With all the talk about canopy choices with the wing suit what do you guy usually use for your wing suit jumps. Do any of you guys use elliptical canopies. Do you normally get a larger canopy for wing suit jumps. The only guy i know that jumps a wing suit started out jumping a with stiletto and still uses it today. Is this really rare

yes Quick answer is read http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=18

when can someone with a coach rating start coaching students. Do they start after the student has an A or can they start while still on student status

Has anyone or known anyone with a 2 out situation with a highly loaded main and reserve. Did they land without breaking anything? What where the canopies and wingloadings. I was always taught not to flare a two out canopy configuration. But with 2 canopies that are highly loaded i am guessing not flaring would hurt.

you know your not goin to wait so just jump and see how bad it hurts

What i am waiting for now Mirage G4 with all the options stainless ect pd126 reserve cypress 2 And already have my xfire II 119 Gotta love student loans

Not an expert on how tight stow bands should be but my rigger said you should be able to pick the bag up of the ground with out the coming undone. I personally can't get the bag of the ground all the time but can get most of it. Also if you start getting bag locks i would say your stows are to tight
