spindlee 0 #1 January 24, 2009 What is it with all these downsizing and smaller canopy threads. Whats the big rush. Is it because of image or what!? Really, I don't see why so many people are in such a hurry to downsize. People only take advice when it agrees with what they've already decided to do anyway.If in doubt, whip it out...

Amazon 7 #2 January 24, 2009 All the cool kids are extreme and they think they are better at an earlier stage than anyone else.They see the cool swooping stuff that the world class guys are doing .. but they dont realize that most of the good canopy pilots out there have put in the time and effort to look that cool. I would say that a lot of them.. have also crashed and burned more than once in those thousands of jumps. But hell.. when you are young... and have not yet realized your mortality... you believe you are invincible.. and nothing will happen to you.. because YOU are special.. and have some MAD SKILLZ. I just hope all who think that... at least get friends willing to get good video with sound.. femurs breaking make an incredible sound. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #4 January 24, 2009 Yeah.. in a trajic kinda way all too often too.. Once you hear the sound of a body impacting the ground at a high rate of speed you NEVER forget it. I have heard 6 fatalities in person..I used to run to where the sound came from...... I dont bother walking toward the place the sound comes from. now.. I walk the other direction.. its the sound of losing another friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spindlee 0 #5 January 24, 2009 It can't be nice . Although i have under 50 jumps , i can't ever see myself getting a tiny canopy. At the moment i like having more material above me just incase i do screw up. If in doubt, whip it out... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #6 January 24, 2009 I think its cooler when you can fly a BIG canopy to its full potential.. and you get a "HUH.. what the hell was that" from the cool guys BUT.. you will get a few "OH SHIT" moments on your way to getting there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
