Think i should clean the rust off the racer(?) pin and give her a try?

Had a nice chat at the dropzone with the guy who gave it to me, turned out he took one of my jumping buddies on his first jumps back in the early 90's. Cool guy.

Pink bridles have way less snatch force, no matter what the pc.

Red. Technically still less snatch force than black though.

Yes indeed. He mentored me when the odds were greatly against my favor...circa 1988 Wish Leroy still jumped, on my first A or basejump whatsoever he lost his pin on skydiving rig crawling out to exit from a 800'A. I shoved his canopy back in, rerouted the pin through the approx 6" closing loop..heh...and jumped expecting him to climb down...as he did have four kids at the moment and there is always a better day.. He jumped...line twists...a bit of work...landed..all in a days work. Guys definitely got a pair, get him back on the steele pikey. Heard he's single again, now;'s the time...Wink

I'll see if I can get a rig for him and take him off the little bridge, he did say he missed it. I think he'd probably be more willing if you came along too!
