How's she treating you Doug? Awsome canopy!! I have jumped many diff canopies. Spent a year on a FX 108 and I gotta tell ya, this is the best opening flying canopy I have ever owned. I decided that for the 10% greater surf that you get from a crossbraced canopy, it just wasn't worth the extra hastle (high pack vol, poor openings and high front riser press). I do video and my neck says thankyou on every jump. Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Cacophony 0 #88 December 17, 2006 QuoteQuoteBeautiful! How's she treating you Doug?
