Looks like someone has too much money on their hands they don't know what to do with it..just saying. so? jealous? No point in getting into a sport if you can't afford to buy gear after you graduate from student status. That's like taking golf lessons but not being able to afford your own set of clubs. Good math. Isn't that what its sposed to be? should I go to a Manta 320? For those that offerd good advice, thanks. For those who got snippy, sorry to see that new guys cant count on you for help

I Have 33 jumps and a brand new rig. The jump was yesterday Sunday 29th. I weigh 209 out the door in gear and the chute is a 190 zero p SR-71. The slider that was sent with it was a dome slider that wouldn't come down unless I pulled alot on toggles. Was sent new slider smaller and not domed and it came down fine a little slow at first buthalf way down it slid fast. I am practicing the canopy book from sky dive Univ. and when I came on my final I was told I didn't flare high enough and landed hard spraining my knee. My quetsion is I was looking straight down when I landed insted of looking at an angle down, my normal flare has been okay but I don't think on those jumps I was looking down. Can someone please advise I was thinking about going on radio after my leg heals so I don't make another mistake like that or worse. ? Where is your best depth perception come from when landing.
