TomAiello 25 #1 May 19, 2004 Hey, Has anyone jumped Vertigo's new Rock Dragon? I've talked to both Jimmy and Chris (from PA) about it a little, but haven't really heard anything about openings. Anyone tried it? I understand Jimmy is bringing a demo up for Memorial Day, so maybe I'll get a shot at it then. On the other hand, his demo is a 240, so it won't be the best comparison (since I'll be overloading the canopy by a good bit). Kudoz to Vertigo for helping push canopy development forward.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 25 #4 May 19, 2004 I know that it's got a steeper angle of attack than the Dagger. It's also got valves on the bottom skin. I think it was Vertigo's attempt to capture some of the "low and slow" market, for people who thought the Dagger was too swoopy. I have a lot of respect for the technical skills of the folks involved in designing it, so I anticipate that it will be pretty good. Other than that, I haven't got much info.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyp 0 #5 May 20, 2004 We do have a new canopy out, haven't even started publicizing it yet. We've been testing it for about a year now. It is called the Rock Dragon. We needed a canopy that was designed specifically for sinking in approaches and a vent and valve system on the bottom skin for super quick sub-terminal and static line/pca openings. The testing has been going awesome and we have begun to allow others to jump it. We only have a 244 now and it will be available on a very limited basis over Memorial Day weekend.
