Jump Shack is pleased to announce the release of a DVD showing a Racer reserve pack from start to finish. This DVD is not intended to replace the Racer manual that is shipped with the harness container system, but to supplement the rigger's knowledge base by providing detailed tips and techniques on packing the Racer.

The DVD is deliberately produced without frills and fluff. Just watch as an experienced rigger packs a Racer from start to finish, accompanied by commentary from Jump Shack President, Nancy LaRiviere.

"The best thing about this video - aside from the impressive skill of the rigger - is that Jump Shack avoided the temptation of deleting the "boring" portions, such as when the rigger is flaking and dressing out the canopy.

Good riggers develop a zillion little tricks to pack a parachute efficiently and neatly, and watching the rigger on this DVD demonstrate his tricks from start to finish is invaluable. The viewer sees what tools he uses and exactly how he uses them. This particular rigger elevates flaking, folding and dressing to an art form, and it's worth watching him work in detail." - Mike Truffer, Editor, Skydiving Magazine.

The DVD menu is set up with icons that enable the viewer to easily navigate to sections of the video presentation that need viewing again.

"I watched the Jump Shack DVD Packing Manual yesterday and then got a chance to pack a couple of Racers today. Just wanted to let you know the new tips in the manual are great! I plan on writing a short article about the new DVD manual for my next Chutingstar Rant and Rave..." - Mike Gruwell, Chuting Star Rigging

The DVD is available from the Jump Shack Web Catalog for $15 and is an invaluable part of any rigger's collection.

"The Jump Shack DVD Packing Manual is easily worth the $15, that the Jump Shack is charging for it" - Mike Truffer, Editor, Skydiving Magazine.
