Can't pull slider over riser!

I took Brian Germain's canopy coarse last summer.understood that it would not obstruct my view, will flatten the canopy a bit more, makes you more a part of the suspension of the canopy rather then hanging below the "triangle" now your inside the triangle, it reduces the chance slightly of getting line twists, you get more lift and performance out of the outer ends of the wing. I completely understand that I would need to watch for other canopies, that a given! Just trying to get the most out of my canopy.



While everything you said there is true, the increase in performance is negligible at light wing loadings. The truth is most jumpers will never gain a significant advantage pulling their slider down.
