Looking for New Risers Can't Post

I have been jumping wings risers for the past year. I am looking into getting new ones. I have heard the Louie Loop Risers are good. Any other input from all of you I swoop with in the FLCPA.

i personally like them and have them in both 23" and 25". i prefer the 25" for the bigger canopies and the 23" for the smaller canopies

I know PD ships their demo canopies on Infinity risers from VSE, and that I've seen them used a fair bit, although I have no experience with them...

Thats what I use. I have 25" VSE risers that were built with dive loops similar to the Wings dive loops. Except their made out of a different webbing that is stronger and haven't ripped off the riser like the Wings risers did.

If you want a set, call Kelly and ask for a set of risers like mine. He has them on file still.

I've had them for over a year now and I'm really happy with how they have performed. Had a chop a few months ago and the risers released with no problem. The hard housing worked like a champ too, which was important on this malfunction.

Hey Stu,
can you be more specific as to what are big and small canopies?
Thanks

Nope, but I'll see if I can't take a picture sometime this weekend.

Mirage has a new swoop option on their risers to, the dive loop is attached about "1" higher on the risers and has a stiffener inside to keep them open. I like them.
