    all this seems kinda pointless if nothing is going to be said about TI's making adjustments once inside the plane. Seems like everyone out there (including several IE's teaching this) are doing a half decent job of harnessing the students, but prior to exit cinching down the MLW all the way, then the same with the laterals. This does several things, none of which are good. Basically it brings the hip junction up way to high, increasing the "need" for y straps. Also, it locks you student in the fetal position making your job harder. I don't understand why this has become common place and an accepted practice.

    I have chrones disease. Basically I don't eat breakfast before heading to the dz. Also arrive early so u have time for the restroom before jumping. Also, getting there early just to watch a few loads jump before going also helped with the nerves.

    I bought a cheap Pakistan suit from the same guy as peter. Frexer was the brand name at the time. Build quality was fine, they were just super small. asian sized. Don't expect it to fit when u get it. I would probably buy something american next time. Nothing really wrong with the suit, other than super tiny. I bet it would be a hassle to get one custom sized though. Basically he just copied another manufactures designs. I would just rather keep my money in america. We have enough Pakistan stuff already.

    clear flexible thin plastic goggles are usually required for student jumps. First, so the instructors can see your eyes. Second, if you have a rough landing, you don't want broken shards of plastic/glass in you eyes.

    Anybody making cheap/tandem swoop shorts? Not looking for fancy or complicated. Just cheap, simple, cordura butt and knees. Im tired of sewing new butts in regular shorts.

    probably not gonna be able to enforce the non compete part, but technically they could get you on breach of contract.

    seen it before. Not very common though. Understandable though. Usually they just dont want you starting a dz nextdoor.

    Seems easier to just a better disc cover. I've never heard of this nor do I see a reason????

    no fun jumping in jacksonville. I usually go to palatka

    i think a lot of this would go away if manufactures quit with the idea that the same reserve containers holds 3 different sizes. I think it would be safer for jumpers and less headache for riggers it each container size was approved for 1 size only.

    I've had good mileage with stilettos as well. Also consider a firebolt from Jumpshack. They have demos available so no harm n trying. I have both and love them both and would buy either one again if/when they wear or I loose one

    Bulky and heavy. Need tightening during every repack. And you have to tie the brake lines with seal thread to prevent problems. They work, Soft links would just be nicer.

    I would rather pack/use a racer before any other rig. only 4 flaps + adjustable closing loop = my preference!

    not TSO'd that way, plus I doubt all those lines would even fit.

    I wouldn't say it sucks by any means, but an update would be nice. I would like to see something better than the l-bars and the issues with them.

    How would I do that? The lines are sewn to the risers

    anybody got any info on the 350? basically I have a closet queen.
  22. Dokeman
    That's what I was wondering, it takes me a minute to stow all my lines. Also 10 jumps is nothing. Put a few hundred on it and then write a review. try a thousand+

    I have ordered from them in the past with no real issues except, they won't tell you how much they will charge you for shipping. You have to give them your credit card and they charge you whatever they want. Usually WAY to much. Like $20 to ship a $5 box. I only order from them if I HAVE to. They are making money off of shipping charges. Fyi

    different rig manufactures use different size drogues. And some manufacturers offer different size drogue for the same rig.
