skreamer 1 #3 June 16, 2003 I know Chris Lynch was first and Tim Carter was second. Be interesting to find out canopy makes and sizes. I know Chris upsized and was jumping with weights. Tim want to do the same but didn't get his '89 VX in time to dial it in, so he jumped his '79 instead. Can anyone give a breakdown of the scores? (speed, distance etc) Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
