  1. I want to congratulate all the canopy pilots on the great decisions made in the area of safety. I witnessed not one person pushing beyond their limits to make the gates with the various wind conditions that were present. For the most improved pilot based on this meets performance form previous years would have to go to Bryan Jones. He made gates all 6 rounds and placed 2 in distance. Nice job!

  5. I only have 11 jumps on a vision 132. It opened soft and on heading every time. It seems to have light riser pressure. It doesn't build up like some of the other canopies I have jumped.

  6. I have 2 Cobalt 135's. The openings on the canopys are totally different on each canopy. One has sweet smooth openings and the other starts smooth on the first stage then brisk on the second stage. Passed the openings the canopys are awesome in flight. Demo one, I diffenently recommend the Cobalt.

  10. I have bought multiple rigs and various other items from him. His prices are always very good. He also stands behind the products he sells. He gave me the chance to fly the canopy with the option to return it if I was not satified.
