Brian Germain's Canopy Progression

[crazydiver 0]

Hey Brian, if you're out there...I've been jumpin your canopies (jedei, samurai) for a few years. I never knew you when you lived in colorado, but I was wondering what your canopy progression looked like. What canopes were your faves before you began designing your own? Just bored, curious little me being nosey.

Hey Brian, if you're out there...I've been jumpin your canopies (jedei, samurai) for a few years and I have always been interested in what you have to say about canopy control, swooping, and flight characteristics.

Here's everything you ever wanted to know about the subject, by Brian himself. It's a great book, I've read it 4-5 times now.

LOL, Kris--I read his post exactly the same way you did...I think what he's trying to say is, "I've always found what you've had to say about canopy control, swooping and flight characteristics very interesting." He's not asking for Brian's thoughts on those things--he's already read his book.

The main question in crazydiver's post (I think) is this:

Good catch, Piriya.

I misread the first part...but I'd love to hear about Brian's progression as well.
