Thank you for the compliments... my site is actually. well rather lame, I need to update it, it's been 2 or 3 years.. other than some text here and there. We are working on a new site for Skydive Arizona, with Betsy, that one should be cool too... Skyventure Arizona too. Benji www.fordesign.com

Thanks for the compliment about the photo... The photoshoot was a riot, the badassboys are going to rock... Here is another Photograph...

REAL CANOPY COMPARATIVE DATA > Sz 120-135/139-150 I contacted the USPA, specifically Parachutist Mag. then was sent to Parachute Industry Association... hoping to find a way to get a real comparative "road test" between canopies, wing loading and manufacturers. Something not sponsored and full of marketing fluff, giving like people real data to work with when it's that time for shopping again... According to everybody, it would cost too much and be all around too complicated to organize. So really there is no chance to compile data from test flying major canopies across there most popular wing loading? I guess not. So I'll stick to what I would like to know... and ask you if you have flown/tested these to give us a personal idea, and point of view on openings, flying, riser pressure, and landing comparing the following: Stiletto, Crossfire, Crossfire2, Vengeance... wanted to know about the Katana, but the bigger size are not available yet. Also, it's would be important to write down you experience level, so that if you are sponsored by a team with 12000 jumps on the pro swoop tour, we can understand where some of the comments come from... Hopefully, this will go somewhere... Bluskyz —benforde

on my way to Thailand I had to stop for a day in lala land, rented a car, drve towards Elsinore, got there, felt at home instantly, smaller than the other place near by, cool vibes, helpful people, familliar faces, great layout, simple landing area. Beautiful landscapes, sunset over the mountains, over the lake... good party after the last load. Wish I could have stayed longer I will be back...

so... are you going? I got a ticket to Thailand, will be hanging with some friends, and jump for a week or so...

Ok, I'm gonna try do this, it sounds like a good time, go to thailand, the food, the jumps, the nature and the rest... They are offering some kind of deal if you want o attend just part of it, they go get lost in the jungle or a sleasy bar in phuket.

I't up, on the site, the info with prices and so on...

Very nice piece, thanks for your writtings.

Has anybody attended these exotic boogies? What is the story? Was is expensive? who is going to jump over the islands? http://www.exoticskyadventures.nl/

If $$$$ is not a factor, you'd get an Infinity over a Mirage G3? Why? Ps. this is for Freeflying. Thx

cause of the price? or the fact that you now think these two brands are better than your current G3?

The same problem, is it worth all these extra bills? I have the order form on my desk, in stainless it bumps the price up... allot! Who is the better price you have found on the market?

I am looking at a G3, with or without UNISYN... is it worth the exra cash?
