  1. Renegate, these are your words:

    I will never do something that will put others in danger if i know i cant deal with the situation. I will not jump a canopy i know i can't control, and I will not jump in a situation I am not comfortable with. (also i will never out-argue Misha Shatalov ;))



    Although I agree with the last 2 points. The first 2 are not true.

    You are putting yourself and your friends in danger by being reckless. You have no business jumping such a high wing loading with your amount of experience. Your experience doesn't give sufficient knowledge to know or even make an educated guess if you will be able to control your canopy in a non-standard situation. Your assumptions, ambition, and attitude are very dangerous in this sport. The only reason people are spending their time by telling you all of this is to try to preserve life and wellbeing of your friends as well as your own. And just because you do not see the relevance of such things as cutaways to CRW or camera flying, doesn't mean there is none.
    In either case your words and your actions do not match. One way or another sync it up. I hope you'll chose the conservative approach.

  5. Hi, I have approximately 200 jumps. The past 50+ were made on Safire 129. I load it at approx 1.4. I personally love this canopy. Love the way it flies. Love the way it turns. Love the way it lands in windy days. And still can't land it on no-wind days. So far I had 2 really close calls under this canopy, and last weekend picked up a Spectre 135. Safire is definitely a more responsive and more fun of a canopy, but several hundred jumps are not really enough to be flying it and loading it this high.
