jacketsdb23 45 #1 February 5, 2010 Getting a Velocity to demo is easy at my DZ. I wanted to try the JVX as well before making a decision and I'm wondering if anyone knows who to contact about getting one here in NorCal. Looking at a 109-ish size. Thanks for any input.Losers make excuses, Winners make it happen God is Good Beer is Great Swoopers are crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 February 5, 2010 There is no demo program. You'll need to find someone who has a similarly sized JVX and see if he/she will let you jump it!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacketsdb23 45 #3 February 5, 2010 Yeah, i read there was no official program, probably on here somewhere, but thought I would ask.Losers make excuses, Winners make it happen God is Good Beer is Great Swoopers are crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dharma1976 0 #4 February 5, 2010 if you found a 109 and it has any sail in it you would need like a J3 to pack it in to but wouldnt that put your loading at like 1.9 2.0 a bit light for that canopy dont you think? http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

jacketsdb23 45 #5 February 5, 2010 Right about 2.0. Light for a Xbrace...maybe. But too heavy for the XF in my opinion. I think flying a 2.0 on Xbrace is no worse than flying a 2.0 on a XF. I have a few jumps on a XF2 109 but no way to compare it to the next level (with a JVX anyway). I'm open to changing my mind on that if I'm wrong.Losers make excuses, Winners make it happen God is Good Beer is Great Swoopers are crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dharma1976 0 #6 February 5, 2010 well you might find that loading the 27 cell up light will make it a bit of a struggle for ya, but you will get big forearms and biceps out of it have you contemplated a Xaos 21 demo it might be a good transition canopy. I would call the company directly about the demo since emailing them about demos gets zero response.
