Take the time if you can to learn from this man. He kept me alive for many years and especially during my early years in jumping when I was dumb and thought I knew everything. I have seen many riggers but this man is the best. The reason is his attention to detail and also always keeping up with new technology, techniques and equipment. I have very much to thank him for

the most soothing packing video I've seen so far, I love watching pack job videos and re-watch some of them from time to time, this will be one of them

I work w skydiving for quite 35 years. During a period of my career I have worked in Empuria and met Colin. He is one of the best professionals I had the honor to learn with 🙏 Daniel Guerra

What is the reason for line groups are wide and not tight with the slider? i have seen this just in the packing manuals. Thanks!

He touched the canopy as we can gently touch a body girl. OMG I love my rig, I do this process when I'm in my house practicing my pack.

I have the same kind of grommet in the pod for the bridle. How do i prevent the fabric from going through this grommet as im bagging the canopy?

part 2 ?

@skydiver333nacer2 3 года назад

think you sir

@bassbahnson 8 лет назад

You made special mention of what side the control line is routed when stowing the brakes. I've always routed to the outside b/c they run to the outside of the canopy. Is there a reason you route to the inside?

@susylee5564 8 лет назад

Hi Michael, I will re-check with Colin and let you know! Yes there was a reason but I ask him better to explain it :D

@susylee5564 8 лет назад

Hi Michael, sorry for the long waiting time, I totally forgot to answer you. So basically we will cover this topic in detail in our upcoming mini series. However, I try to answer it shortly: it's mainly about that we want to have the control lines inside so that the ends of it get stowed on the outside. And this is for the reason that when everything gets stowed in the container, that the remaining part (end) of lines are hidden as deep in the container (side, bottom) as possible so that they cannot be exposed to the outside part of the container during freefall.
