If the toggle needs to be below the top of my shoulder, it's to the ''Oh S***'' pad and the ''Try Again'' handle. Don't pull low, unless you are
-
I've seen a student cut away on end cell closure before ! They were given a nice little de-brief after that one, and left the sport a few jumps later. Don't pull low, unless you are
-
Does anyone know where you can see videos (streaming or downloadable) of different mals online? Don't pull low, unless you are
-
Next time you're bored in the plane going to altitude, remember some of these - http://www.afn.org/skydive/humor/jumpship.html Don't pull low, unless you are
-
Quality. You don't see THAT at the dz every day :-) Don't pull low, unless you are
-
Just one or two then !! :-) There's planes there that I've only dreamed about jumping !! Don't pull low, unless you are
-
There's a Javelin J-3 for sale which I'm considering buying - what does everybody think about them? Are they worth having? Don't pull low, unless you are
-
All of a sudden a 89 sq ft canopy wouldn't seem so small !! Don't pull low, unless you are
-
One of my friends almost got their feet caught in the lines on an S/L jump and that was from a step exit 182. There's a picture of it on the web site I helped to build at http://www.skydiveupsc.f2s.com/pages/images/photoes/exit03carl.jpg - it scared quite a few people. Don't pull low, unless you are
-
What planes has everybody jumped? I've done a c182, a 206, a Cherokee 6, and an SMG turbo Finist. Don't pull low, unless you are
-
There's a guy at my DZ and he has tried psycho packing his Sabre 170 a few times and he rekons it's quite good. Don't pull low, unless you are
-
Too right. There's some crazy people on the roads now - last weekend we almost hit a car speeding down the road overtaking.
-
Those shots are fantastic !! One of my friends is into photography, and he'd kill to get shots like those !!
-
What's wrong with good old fashioned eye balls? Can't see the point in spending all that money on that peice of kit - it's a lot of jump tickets and it's just tempting fate !!!
-
We jump a 182 at our DZ with no GPS, so you've got to spot. It's not as difficult as people say it is - I've only watched people spot for me, but I've guessed when the cut should be correctly all the time.
-
Who wouldn't want to jump all that state of the art equipment? Round canopies, front mounted reserves - skydiving doesn't get much better !!!
-
Now I'm jealous !! We've only got a c182 at our dz (4 people to 10000' in about 30 mins)
-
I think you can buy them from Thomas Sports Equipment as well (you can design them to match your own rig)
-
I know the FXC has quite a wide firing range - I just think it's dodgy that it should fire that high when it's set at 1000'.
-
My friends have mentioned that they know someone who's actually spent a few months just packing at their DZ, and they paid for their AFF like that. Ask the guys at your DZ, they might be ok with it.
-
We had an experienced guy at my DZ jumping student kit cos his reserve nedded a repack, and he pulled at 2500' and the FXC fired at about 2000' even when he'd just got a good canopy above his head. Dodgy.

I'm going to do my Cat 8 dive soon (RAPS) and I was wondering if anyone has done anything stupid / funny on theirs
