Top Load Tail Pocket
Hello guys
I have an incredible Apex Lobo canopy and I'm very happy with it, but I have some difficulties in finding the best way to stow the lines because It is equipped with a different tail pocket, the so called top load tail pocket.

Do you have some experience with this new tail pocket on Lobo?
May be do you have some video where you show your techniques to stow the lines ?
The pdf file with the few images in, doesn't really give a method to follow .... This is why I'm looking for a video.

Thanks a lot for your help
Ciao

Re: [jeriko13] Top Load Tail Pocket
Thank you guys but this is the pdf file with the few images I was mentioning... No chance to have , even a self made, video about your technique to stow the lines ?
The overall idea about how to do is clear but I'm looking for the "whole work" video to learn it better
Thanks

I believe what he's trying to say, is that if those pictures don't make it perfectly clear for you then you should really ask a mentor or experienced jumper to show you how to do it in person.

Loading that design of tail pocket wrong could set you up for a Zak style malfunction, and if you have doubts after seeing those pictures a video won't really make things any better.

Thanks for the clarification...
Well very few here in Italy have that canopy and that loading pocket , this is why I was trying to get info from the forum ...
I know how to stow the lines just wanted to have more info and cross check :) this is why I'm still hoping that someone with the same canopy and tail pocket share a video about how they do it :)

Thank you Todd!
I really appreciate this too because I like LOBO :)
I've received already a good "home made" video and gave me good inputs but I'm keen to know how the factory recommend the stowing :)

That looks way scary. worse than the first TP designs. but i am conservative.

Re: [base283] Top Load Tail Pocket
Well for sure the design is not the standard one, and here means to change also the stowing technique...but the overall idea and the 'study' behind make me comfortable...

So far, I never heard about a problem about the system, even if is a new one...

Anyway...
I'm so keen to see the official video too from APEX....
I've already received already a homemade video and it confirmed the way of stowing I'm using..

In reply to:
Brake line was looped through the tailpocket velcro, holding the slider up and pulling the tail of the canopy down so maybe 2.5 cells were inflated. Sounds crazy - looks crazy - somehow really happened
