the last option, a question about it. The person that will be killed shortly, will that person be replaced with Ivan? --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

how hard is it to fake a serial number in the pre sale stages though? It's still a good idea just to get all the pertinent info on a canopy like DOM, etc. Instead of just oh its a sabre 150 with about 200 jumps! Thanks that helps! --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

thats good advice, I've been working on sit exits facing the tail, I feel like I've got them pretty strong, I only slightly mess up one in about five. I'll try your advice next jump. Any advice on how to sitfly exiting facing the direction of flight? I asked an experienced freeflyer at my DZ a few dozen jumps ago and he advised work on facing tail first bc facing direction of flight was a bit harder. I'm ready now to mess around with different exits so I'll be ready if a certain jump calls for me sitflying facing a different way than Im used to. Any advice?

another post about adhesive tapes touching your container
andy2 replied to The111's topic in Gear and Rigging
[QUOTE]Andy2: In this sport and most of life you can kill more flys with honey than salt. Or as we say here, "kill em' with kindness" [/QUOTE] Totally agree, I was being facetious. I'd definitely not care if the said rigger applied the tag to my rig. In fact I think thats a pretty common practice, I've seen that kind of thing on a few of rigs. If you're describing the same thing I was thinking of then its really a non issue because the actual adhesive of the tag doesnt get applied to your rig, it gets applied to itself in a loop. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... -

[QUOTE]perpetrated a crime in Andy's under-age name: bought his beer for him[/QUOTE] That was some damn good beer too. Basically my toggle fired (and since hookitt thinks this is a better story we'll actually say that it caught on FIRE) probably due to a loose riser cover and sent me in a hard spin that I couldn't correct after a few moments of fucking around with it. I chopped at 2.5k and was in the saddle at 2k. I got it repacked that night and jumped it the next day. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

African American SkyDiver! What?
andy2 replied to TXBLKBEAR's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
there are a few of black skydivers at my DZ. Couple of them are students and one is licensed. Real nice guy, just wants to skydive, same as us white people. You know I never thought so much about the race minorities in skydiving. I could really care less about that, but let's figure out a way to get more females involved. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... -

Safer sub-terminal deployments question/pondering
andy2 replied to jerry81's topic in Safety and Training
[QUOTE]Opening at 2K on a hop n' pop is quite a bit different than deploying at terminal. [/QUOTE] Lol, obviously. [QUOTE]As for snivelly canopies, my Stiletto usually takes 500-700 feet to open. On a hop n pop I'm usually in the saddle about 150 feet after exit. Granted, I pull in a smidge of rear-risers during the opening, but it still opens smoothly and softly. [/QUOTE] OK, so you're at 1,850 feet with a parachute that is beginning to malfunction after its finished opening. That's 350 feet above my harddeck. Maybe your harddeck is lower than mine, fine. I fly a sabre, it eats up a good bit of altitude in a hard diving turn. I wonder if your stiletto eats up more. I don't like the sounds of a parachute malfunction starting at 1,850 feet. But like you said its all about personal comfort level. I'll do a 300' BASE jump before I'll C/P from 2 grand. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... -
I flew my stellar 120 reserve this weekend, I have never unfortunatley flown a PD-R so i can't compare, but I can tell you the stellar flew very nice! I hear people complaining sometimes about different brands of reserves which stall very quickly. I did not experience this at all on the stellar! It had a pretty deep/powerful flare. I had enough foward movement on landing that I had to slide out some speed on the soles of my feet. (I wished I hadnt had to fly it but it was treating me better than my main parachute on that jump ) Blue Skies! --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

uhh dude, youre asking skydivers whether you should spend money on jump tickets or CD PLAYERS. Let's see, last time I checked I stopped buying BLANK CDS to burn music onto bc theyre too exspensive. But yet I don't have a problem spending 200$ every weekend on jump tickets. I say go skydive your money away asap. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

Canopy Progression - the Pro's way
andy2 replied to garywainwright's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
ok, but what about little guys like me, I would have to fly a 65 sq ft canopy in order to get a 2.2 WL. Is that small a canopy really ideal for distance? I've asked people and they say no, ideally I would upsize a few sizes in the 80s and add about 20 pounds of weight! Thats just what I've been told, I'm glad I dont have to worry about it for another thousand or so jumps! --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...
