Just for fun, thought I'd post a couple pretty cool pics. It's the Kmonster and me.

Is it just me or do those rigs look very wide? What size canopies do you have in there?

They're both BlackJack 240's

Very nice!

Hmm...I don't know. Whatever.

Nice!

You've seen the size of the people in the rigs haven't you? They are wee!

schweet!

Oooh, ahhh, fuckin a, yeah!!!

purdy.

yum!

nice rigs ! that bridge in the background looks a little low

Hehe... why, thank you!

Nice exit point too, Dex!

what type of helmet are you wearing?

thanks

Michael

It's an Oxygn A3

One more.

Are you not worried about snag factor having all your pads exposed?

Nice rigs!

sorry another Q - what body armour is that you have? looks comfortable.............

Nice rigs... but really nice cliff. The photos make me wish I was at some sweet exit point right now rather than sitting behind this desk. Soon...

That looks like Dainese Body armour......its very comfortable and doesnt limit body movement hardly at all....( at least the setup I wore MTB'ing)

Stitch for stitch, M. builds the most beautiful rigs out there . . .

When he started building rigs back in the day, I remember a small group of us looking at his first efforts. He started at a skill level most riggers wind up at . . .

Cool pics, too.

jerry

Doesn't anybody else wanna see more of the jump? Stop teasing!

V purdy gear btw

If you don't want to answer here a PM will be fine.

Are you not concerned about snag factor wearing all your pads exposed like that?

Oh, no worries.

On that jump I plan to do a flat and stable two second delay. You can't take longer because you need to make a distant landing area.

The pads are sewn down around their edges and don't provide much for a bridle to snag on. There's just not a serious snag issue IMHO. If there was a good chance I could exit unstable I would wear a long sleeve shirt over the armor. I do this on occasion. For short delay, flat and stable jumps, I just wear the armor with my rig over it.

Dude, I don't see any B's anywhere on those rigs...

Snag factor

ouch and nice skydive containers

that picture still amazes me... those are the lowest quality knee pads you can get EVEN FOR LAYING FLOORING... that some idiot jumped with them is proof of darwin's theories...

great rigs! you've got good taste in color schemes too... I'll have to post a picture of the container Chris made for me when i get a canopy in it so its not looking all flat and unfulfilled like it is now....
