Thanks a lot for all your replies! I appreciate it!

For sure you helped man! And yes the bottom line in skydiving "Always ask your instructors" is tattooed on the inside of my brain when getting advice Thanks for your answer mate!

Tried searching for this, did not find my answer (apologies if I missed it). Got a while before I get to a DZ and wanted to find out if anybody got the answers here! :) Q: What size & type of canopies benefit from dragging the slider down and securing it behind your head with skyties (and from loosening your chest strap under canopy). I have got a Sabre 2 190 and was just curious if doing the above steps would benefit its flight characteristics in any way. I've missed the opportunities to get coaching with B.Vacher, but really want to do one! :) PS: I understand the reasoning behind these procedures with the slider, I just never figured out at what size do you see a benefit from doing them (I realise that smaller canopies benefit from this).

Will update the profile tomorrow morning. I live in Barcelona, Spain but currently studying in the UK at uni. As for skydiving experience: I have a BPA - A license 60 jumps approx (I think my logbook states 56 jumps). I have everything to get my B license apart from my packing cert (I've had everything else signed off at my DZ in the UK).

Hello skydivers! I really need help with this so please be patient when you read my post! (Thank you in advance!
