Jimbo 0 #77 July 18, 2003 450:1 It was a low speed malfunction that I probably could have landed, now. Back then getting rid of it seemed like the thing to do. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltdiver 3 #80 July 18, 2003 1605:6 Used to change my canopy to a new model just out about every 1-200 jumps... Bought a Spectre now... (quade's fault ). ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I probably could have cleared it - I say that now - But it was so much different then.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skylord 1 #83 July 18, 2003 1:0, but I'm still happy about it!! I thought the ratio was 1 in every 700 jumps, and that was posted somewhere here in the last week or so.

masher 1 #84 July 18, 2003 80:0 . From the ASM (Australian Skydiving Magazine) the ratio for cutaways from APF licence renewals was 738:1.-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedBull 0 #86 July 18, 2003 270:1 Lost hackey, just off student status, first dozen or so jumps w/ my own gear. Needless to say, I check the hell out my hackey before exit now. I had sat on it in the plane and shoved it way into the BOC pouch -- I never would have found it. Remember: try twice and go for silver -- it saved my ass!.

Oh, and you got your PRO Rating on that same canopy too didn't you? 1 cutaway with the Spectre (remember JFTC?). Yes indeed, it served me very well for my PRO rating as well. When I posted it was 'quade's fault' this was a complete compliment in your favor. And of course, validating your point. It still ticks me off that I had that last cutaway....if I'd been able to safely pull higher I would have been able to get out of those multiple line twists and land just dandy under my main. But, as the 4th rule of skydiving goes...'Land Safety', I had to chop or be hurt...

DHead 0 #99 July 18, 2003 130:1 Fairy nasty entanglement (bag floating infront of my face, not deploying) on jump 12. Lesson learned: Dont go fetal on a 5s freefall! But I nearly chopped #5 on my new rig, but it stopped streaming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybrat68 0 #100 July 18, 2003 216:0 - I landed a step thru the other day. I looked up at my twisted risers, found my handles, thought (at 2400 ft) oh my God, This is LOW! then I thought since my canopy was flying so well that I'd at least do a control check - last ditch effort. With only 211 jumps, I reached up to release my brakes that were twisted up in the risers as well, not knowing what was going to happen and still prepared to cut away, and checked to see if I could land it. There was some tension in the lines but everything worked like it was suppose to. I was so SCARED I didn't even collapse my slider. I pack for myself so I'll have noone to blame for stupid packing mistakes. LESSON LEARNED Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
