The openings are very predictable - I've never gotten slammed unlike with my velo - the last bit of the opening can be a little stiff but I have no problem with it doing camera work.
I've heared complaints about the front riser pressure - but I don't think it is bad at all! Maybe a little heavier than the velo.
It dives soo fast - you can turn high - just keep both fr-riser down and it'll race to the ground. Then you'll enjoy a smooth long recovery arc.
I've landed it in half brakes before, I weigh 205lbs... lands great...
It glides very well, and is very responsive.
The only downside is that this canopy doesn't slow down as much as the velo for a tip toe landing - you'll have to run!
I prefer this canopy over my velocity. Very nice! AND often not too expensive when buying them second hand.

I compare it to a velo111 (my other crossbraced)
