  1. just a thought, you may like a petra with some weight but then still wearing a little more on your legs to make it steeper flying. and just for ref I'm usually about 225 exit weight and my petra 68 is super easy where me and guys in freak 2's generally both have lots of range If you find yourself arguing with a good idea, you may want to stop arguing.

  3. One of the most important things in swooping is consistency. the more you can do your turn the same on every jump the better and more predictable it will be. I try to focus on adjusting my set up better and better on every jump so that I can do the exact same turn (or as close as possible) on every jump. then when doing night swoops or "sunset swoops" you learn to trust yourself much more. Many people dont like it but I have counted through my turn for about the last 1500 jumps or so. and I feel that helps the turn be more consistent regardless of outside factors. This is not to say that you should just count through your turn and all will be great, it is just a tool to use to help get yourself more consistent If you find yourself arguing with a good idea, you may want to stop arguing.
