SwoopMenace 0 #3 July 19, 2001 I used to jump a Hurricane 120 for about 50-60 jumps. I now jump a VX-79. The openings are very nice. It always seemed to open slowly and on-heading which was a little better than the stilettos i jumped. The Glide angle is slightly steeper than a stiletto which means it builds up speed quicker in the dive and has a longer recovery arc. I really liked jumping it. I found for swooping the riser pressure was light and flare was similar to stiletto. All in all a very good canopy and i know a quite a few people who jump them now.
