kallend 1,634 #27 August 21, 2010 QuoteMake sure to do a couple jumps with one bootie off (or do some flips till one gets blown off). Strange things happen and sometimes you're left at the beginning of a jump with only one bootie. Better to find out what it feels like and how to compensate early than be surprised by it in competition or something. . True. I had one bootie come off on exit on the jump when we did the 2 point 139-way. Fortunately I had flown that way before and I was able to fly OK without being distracted..... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim_32766 0 #29 August 29, 2010 I have less experience with booties than most people that have replied but the one thing I can share is that you don't want booties too loose. If you point your toes as far as you can and the booties are not tight, you can get some uncontrolled input from them and struggle with flight. I had to have the booties on my recent RW suit "shortened" twice before they were truly controllable. Blue skies.The meaning of life . . . is to make life have meaning.
