JohanW 0 #3 October 7, 2006 I jump a regular freefall Triathlon, and I can tell you from experience it flies straight in twists. Seeing how Aerodyne says you can freefall with both a regular and a hybrid Tri (but not with a comp model), you should be OK. I think the retractable bridle is a bit longer than a normal one even, so that's even better. You do want a bag and a full slider, of course. Know your gear, though. There are malfunctions possible on that stuff that are normally not a problem. Talk to an experienced CRWdog about it. And make sure you pull high enough to take FULL advantage of your gear - there's more to life than docking in freefall Johan. I am. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
