  1. The staff is super friendly and respectful, nice packing area, and also the beautiful green Florida grass on landings. This DZ has very little competition with the cheap prices they have and the nice workers they have on staff. I always enjoy the visit whenever I go jump at Manifest. You guys rock! R.
  2. I was just flying a 140 springo yesterday. Did 4 jumps on it and quickly realized that it flies with very quick recovery arc, a bit like a stilletto but extremely touchy, and if you hold a good flare down in this cannopy, it will collapse on you and drop you so practice it high up. Flare must be done close to perfect. I wasn't impressed. I will probably never jump it again unless I absolutely have to. Too many other good cannopies out there. This one was definitely not a cannopy I would ever like to spend any money on. My two cent. R
  3. Jumped here about 10-15 times as a fun jumper, and is always a very pleasant experience. The members on staff are very respectful and will help you with any issues that might come up. I will definitely be coming back!
  4. Get a 139xfire. I just ordered one. But I did try out a 149 for a while first. If anything just rent it first see what you thinkQuote
  5. Icarus got this one. After about 300 jumps between the two, I have to say that the Safire is a dream canopy in comparison to the unpredictable Sabre2. I like them both but Safire opens and behaves smoother. My two cents
  6. The best drop-zone I have jumped yet. Friendly and professional staff members. The place has literally all you need, nice cover areas for personal packing, plenty of packers, bar, a cafeteria, multiple bathroom facilities with showers, lodging/trailer area for rent, master riggers on staff (Sally and Peter Paragone Rigging), nicer training classrooms, food court area, swoop pond, Cesnas, twin-otters, in conclusion, it has all you need in a drop-zone. I highly recommended it, and I have yet jumped in a better drop-zone.
