Winds this week kept students grounded, except for Craig Beitelshees and Spencer Hanson, who took the FJC from Beth on Sunday, and got to make their training tandems the same day with Steve and Issac, respectively. Christopher Treyz also got refreshed in Sunday's FJC and is ready to jump again. | |||
FIFTH OF JULY PARTY
|
This Saturday night, July 5th, we'll celebrate our freedom in the best Skydive Temple tradition, with a great little party after jumping is done. Mark Mark has promised a surprise, so you can only imagine the fun we'll have. Remember we do have crash couches in the hut, free beer, and showers, too. |

DID YOU KNOW... Borrowing gear, or lending it to others has been a factor in many skydiving accidents. The United States Parachute Association has published short & simple guidelines to borrowing or changing equipment in the Skydiver's Information Manual. If you haven't yet, take a look at Section 5-3.I |

| SAFETY TIP OF THE WEEK |
Continuing our series on equipment inspection, this week, we pass along some good advice from Jim McGraw at SD Dallas and a link to a PD video Who inspects your MAIN canopy? If you assume that your rigger is inspecting your main when you get your reserve re-packed, you may be surprised. Many riggers consider inspecting the main to be a task outside the realm of a "reserve inspection and repack". You certainly can pay your rigger an additional fee to inspect and pack your main canopy. However, the good news is that you can learn to do this yourself. It is wise to inspect your main canopy frequently. Performance Designs has made a nice video which shows how to inspect a ram-air main canopy. |
