OH MY! I'm afraid i've created a monster! And thanks Lisa, good to be here. G. Jones "It's time to start slapping people...."

If she keeps both hands on the keyboard, how will she drink? G. Jones "It's time to start slapping people..."

Lisa, I have a better idea. You can make a drunken phone call to MY ex and tell her what a Snatch she is. That should make us both feel better! G. Jones "It's time to start slapping people...."

Thanks to everybody for your thoughts. I now have Triathlon, Safire, Hornet, and Sabre 2 on my list to jump before I buy. Lisa, to answer your question, I have only jumped a 288 Manta at this altitude. The rest of my jumps were on the spectre, and soft openings and good landings were the characteristics that I liked most about it (it was really responsive too, at least for what I'm used to!).Are all the canopies I mentioned above (except the Manta) zp?

I"ll be buying my first rig this summer, and would like advice on a main. My home DZ is 5000 ft. ASL, I Have 29 jumps, and will be jumping a 230 sq. ft. canopy @ 1:1. I jumped a 230 Spectre at Perris and loved it. How will that same canopy perform at the higher altitude at my DZ? Also, I've been told that I'll be happier with a 9 cell,(specifically, a Sabre 2). I will be demoing canopies before I make a decision, and a little advice on where to start will be a big help! G. Jones
