Widgeon 0 #6 December 2, 2005 No, you didn't. Seriously though, do a search on this forum about the comparisons of each canopy. You'll find enough to read about it to keep you busy for awhile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rcc 0 #10 December 2, 2005 Shit my bad you only have 100 jumps you should`t even be on a VX. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viking 0 #11 December 2, 2005 Oh i agree 100% but just b/c my jump numbers are low doesn't mean i don't know anything. Also if i'm not mistaken isn't the swoop distance record on a Velo?I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhys 0 #12 December 2, 2005 Quoteummmmmm thought it was a 27 cell......... eeeeeeeeeer a vx is as much a 27 cell as a sabre is an 18 cell. a vx is a crossbraced 9 cell a velocity is a cross braced 7 cell.

piisfish 135 #13 December 2, 2005 I am very pro-Icarus, but the Velocity seems to have better results. Never jumped a crossbraced... yet... IMO not enough jumps, and not enough jumps per year.. Maybe sometime.scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canuck 0 #17 December 2, 2005 Ah, c'mon Frost - don't you want to go round two on this one? I've changed my mind on the topic since Roq explained that the Onyx is the best braced canopy out there, and would hands down beat every other canopy on the market with any pro pilot under it.

tso-d_chris 0 #20 December 2, 2005 QuoteQuoteummmmmm thought it was a 27 cell......... eeeeeeeeeer a vx is as much a 27 cell as a sabre is an 18 cell. a vx is a crossbraced 9 cell a velocity is a cross braced 7 cell. If you look at an inflated Sabre from above, you see 9 distinctly different cells. If you look at a Velo from above, you 21 distinctly different cells. PIA defines a cell as:QuoteCell: The compartment formed by the top and bottom surfaces and two adjacent load bearing ribs. Each cell is usually divided by a non-load bearing rib to form two half cells. Cells are numbered from left-to-right by full-cell number; use left (L) and right (R) to designate the appropriate half cell. Calling a Velo a 21 cell canopy and a VX a 27 cell canopy is consistent with PIA's definition. For Great Deals on Gear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diablopilot 2 #22 December 2, 2005 The VX ain't bad, but the ballance between front and rear riser pressures is way outta wack. I prefer the Xaos 27 myself. The openings are nicer IMO as well.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
