But I have to ask, drifting the thread, you still jump the Onyx?
How do you find it?

I remember when "Atair Dan" was hyping the Onyx as the next greatest thing on dz, over a decade ago.

While I have put a bunch of jumps on a Cobalt 75 and enjoy it for what it is, I got to jump an Onyx and didn't like the crazy light front riser pressure; felt pretty dangerous just as a first impression. Despite all the fancy crossbracing, the profile of the canopy in flight didn't look all that smooth on the topskin. The guy who owned the Onyx later burned it in the year end bonfire; he disliked it that much that he didn't even want to sell it off cheap to anyone.

Anyway, you have a couple interesting rare canopies.

Yeah.
I have these rare canopies a long time ago.
They are neither excellent nor bad.
Anyway, I like them.
But only in the last few years have I used them enough and it's time to change the lines.
I was told that with new lines, different from the original Spectra, the canopy looks better.
We'll see.
The Cobalt tastes great, good openings, good glide and never had problems.
Thanks for the reply,
Mark and I are taking
