Thanks for the Rant If I can't sway his opinion I'm definitely taking my comp velocities to another drop zone. Unfortunately that's an hour and a half away from me.

So I'm looking for some input. The drop zone that I currently jump at is looking to ban any turns that are more than 90°. We recently had one of our jumpers pass away doing the Hi-performance landing at another DZ. The drop zone's owners daughter's fiancé was actually killed in 1997 doing a Hi performance Landing as well. Is there any arguments that I can use to hopefully persuade him to still allow responsible canopy piloting at his DZ?

Wow... $1845USD with a RDS too... That is a very good deal compared to a Comp Velo or a JVX… What is a JVX going for these days? Is the just the pre-production price?

My JVX 72 Opened so hard!!! I would strongly recommend not getting that canopy... Since my JVX 72 opened so hard i bought a 74 Neos for non-competition jumping... The Neos is a very nice opening canopy... the The Belgian team Hayabusa is using them and enjoying them...

Hey Zver Nice videos... keep up the testing... Canopy looks like it is coming a long nicely.

Has any used the Opteka 0.2X Low-Profile "Ninja" Fisheye Lens for Camcorders? It looks the same as the Royal Lens Platinum 0.2x. I jump the Royal lens Platinum 0.2x but i scratched it and i don't want to pay $249.99 USD for a new one. The Opteka 0.2x Ninja is $69.95 on there website. is there any Vignette with this lens? I tried a Liquid 2 x0.25 Wide angle lens with 37mm threads and i got vignette. http://opteka.com/optekaplatinumseries37mm02xlow-profileninjafisheyelensforcamcorders.aspx

i like the look of the Optica .3... is it as wide as the royal .2? i'm using a Liquid 3 x 0.29 Wide angle lens... i would like to have a lens that is a little wider than the liquid 3... And i'm getting Vignetting if i shoot in 16:9... does the royal or the Optica Vegnette in 16:9?

i got the blue UV coated lines Why????

My self and a friend ordered JVXs at the same time back in December 2007... i change my order to All ZP i got my canopy and my... friend stayed with the sail... he is still waiting... i also did not get my extra line set with my canopy

I finally got my all ZP JVX 72... there is still a long wait if you want the sale...

HI All... i need Advice… My old DCR-PC109 died… and it looks like I need to replace it… I need I good camera that I can side mount!!! I’m looking at some old PC1000… but everyone wants to much money for them… so, I’m looking at a Sony HDR-CX7 or CX12… can you side mount a HC7??? How well does the CX7 record in freefall being a flash camera??? Cookie makes a nice box for them and very nice lenses… has any one had good luck with the CX7? Or should I go with the trusted old PC1000… Thanks For any advice…

Yes they are still waiting on the NEW White sail too... i ended up ordering an all ZP JVX... it should be soon because they can't build any canopies with sail...

I'm starting to wonder that... if they exist... i ordered my canopy in dec... i changed my colors to all white... and i'm still waiting... and after paying the deposit... I have not got any e-mails from Daedelas... I should have got a Velo...

with the tracer wing suit you can't reach your risers... you must un-zip your arms... = time you do not have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can now order the velocity from the factory with the HMA line set, right? the biggest thing is going to come down to pack volume. i have a XRS. i hear the ZP JVX is not that much more performance than a VX or velo? so, it would be a hybrid for me. people are talking re-sale value. what will happen to the JVX re-sale when the JSX comes out? or the next thing from PD? if you break a line on a JVX who do you send it to? how long would it take to get your canopy back? this would be the frist new canopy that i have bought... this is a hard desion for me... yes 1400 jumps and i have never jumped a new wing

>I chose sail on the top skin only and zp for the rest. So, what size JVX do you Fly? What is your wing loading and exit weight? how many jumps? i have 1400 skydives. only in the last two years have real started swooping. my exit weight is 160 so on a 70 JVX i'm at 2.28 lbs/sqft. is that enought loading for the JVX?

I have heard a that the JVX does open better than the VX but, not as well as a velo. I have a Javelin XRS so i do not know if a 70 JVX hybrid would pack all that small? could some one tell me? and the cost $3000. my friend just got an 87 all sail JVX and got 9th in the intermadiate PD challenge. the distance of his swoops are carzy now. his wing loading is 2.8 with out weights. but, the pack volume! and velo's are in stock, no waiting for the canopy.

hey Chuck: thanks for the info that's what i was looking for. that a velo 79 will out perform a 75 velo. even if the 79 is at a lesser wing loading. i would love to get a 70 JVX, if all my jump were swooping. but, 90% of my jumps are camera jumps. and i need the soft velo openings.

I'm looking for some feed back on the velocity 75. Does any one compete with this wing? I’m flying an 84 VX with the JVX line set, but only loading it at 2.0 lbs/sqft with out weights. If I’m in a CPC completion I will put on up to 20 lbs changing my wing loading to 2.23 lbs/sqft. I fly camera at my DZ and can not always jump with weights on. Also the VX is not the greatest for camera openings. So, I would like a canopy that is good for camera flying and competitive swooping. Is a 75 velocity a competitive canopy? Being a small 7 cell does it does it loss its performance? Or is a JVX the better Canopy. Any ideas? Thanks Marc
