  1. With the standard HMA 500 line-set the openings are very good (with removable slider)! Now I installed the 500 Orange Vectran lines and must say that my VC90 openings are much faster then before. To be honest, I prefer the HMA 500 lines!!
  2. Answer of PD: Thanks for contacting PD. The Valkyrie and Velocity are totally different wings. We never experienced the issues of the VK on the VE.
  3. I know that trick for years already, use it on my VC90 too. Do it while the canopy is still sniveling
  4. Jojo wings: http://old.jojowing.com/skydiving/hxp/hxp.php NZ aersports: 285ft² http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=71990;t=search_engine
  5. Velocity VC90 I jump it all the time on terminal with the removable slider from PD, not the full RDS. HMA 500 lines, wingload 2.5 I have no problems with the openings, not fast at all smooth and almost always on heading.
  6. Indeed, the undertacker from firebird has them. http://www.flyfirebird.com/fb/?canopies-gallery
  7. I owned a Demon 100 and put a competition lines on it afterwards. Also owned a 90 with competition lineset (wingload 2.2). Standard, these steering lines are very short so easy to stall the canopy. Therefore I made the steering lines 5 inches longer (24" risers) - packes big due to the double coated fabric. - openings are fast but not hard, the first 100 jumps onheading, afterwards..; that's another story ;-) - Flying, very responsive on toggle turns.. didn't liked it very much for backriser landings. (to direct on backrisers)
  8. pm send ;-) Almost all of my openings are like this: http://youtu.be/wCKXwfhaK2w
  9. Yes, I use the original removable slider with the clips. But I didn't install the complete RDS system. OPenings are always the same, a bit slower on hop & pops
  10. I was happy with the Argus... (untill they banned it). In swoop mode, once the canopy was open, it switched to standby mode. Still think this is a good solution.
  11. Hi, I owned two Standard Velocities 90ft² and now a VC90. Openings are the same on the competition velocity as on my other velocities. The openings are almost always onheading and with a nice snivel. At terminal a bit faster then when I do hop & pops. 50% of my jumps are freefly, the other 50% are hop & pops for swooping. I always pack my canopy with care so maybe that has to do something with it ;-) Same wingload on the Standard one as on the Competition Velocity. - Wingload is 2.6. I only use the removable slider (so not the full RDS). - Lineset is HMA500

  13. - Velocity competion: Better on backrisers then the standard Velo - JVX Full sail Both very nice X-braced canopies to fly with! Owend 2 Velocities 90ft² Fly with the competition Velocity now (VC90) and a JVX 74 full sail.
  14. VC90 loaded at 2.5: Deep in the toggles until 820ft where I start diving on double fronts for about 3 to 5 seconds. Then I start to initiate my turn via harnass input and let my frontsrisers go very smoothly. JVX74 loaded at 2.82: Same procedure but I start diving at 950ft
