Is that one of my pack jobs?

The line trim looks good.

What was the wind doing that day?

Re: [magot] heading performance
Body position might be an answer.. did you drop your right leg more than the left?

Seems to me that you're definatly lacking a line reefing device. Myself, i prefer a pull-up cord tied around the A-lines. It doesn't hurt to use the tailgate either, as an anal suppository of course. Two tight wraps of a black tube stow right around your nutsack and you should be all good.

Maggot, if you look at the top of the canopy in this picture, you can see the face of Satan! That explains your offheading openings.

BTW, is that somebody's white thong on your back? Or it's your goggles?

I dont know what the winds were doing I was half in the Bag. but judging by the water it was blowing good.

Satan was his rigger and taught Maggot how to pack, and spell!

Re: [magot] heading performance
Duh,
didn't you read the thread from a while back about BASE jumping with hooded sweatshirts?
Shortcut
Re: [magot] heading performance
  Maggot I think that is one of your best ones yet.I really dont think your going to get any honest feed back from this question.Divolging this informastion to you on canopy perfomance might add some type of safty to that short walk to death you are on..Good luck and happy trails..

Firstly snapperhead, you got the name wrong, it’s not a magot drop, it’s a TomAiello-Drop™ .

I understand it’s called the TomAiello-Drop™ because Tom Aiello invented it and was the first person to do one.

As for your heading problems, I think it’s because every time I’ve seen you jump you ‘give the signal’ during deployment…

At least you’re not all dressed in maroon, pink and purple, like that SUUUUUUUPER pic of NickNitro.

Remember the priorties on any jump:
1. Style
2. Style
3. cool factor
4. lowest effort possible
5. safety

hope that helped

Re: [980] heading performance
snapper head that sounds like a personal attack and I am a very sensitive person. Derka I must have miss spelled
somtthing that made u not understand me writing or something but I think u are the bomb KT980

Re: [magot] heading performance
Alright,
that's not a hooded sweatshirt. Fair enough. Then it's got to be the cammo pants. As everybody knows, God has officially banned the use of camoflauge clothing among the non-military, heterosexual population.

The off heading opening is just a warning. Keep wearing those pants, and I bet God gets midieval on your ass.
