This is the canopy that merges all of the good things from a Spectre and Sabre2 together. It is either a more dynamic Spectre or a better opening Sabre2 depending on where you are coming from. The majority of my jumps are under a Stiletto. Moving into this canopy was a bit of a change. This canopy requires a lot more toggle input to do the same thing partly due to how thick the Storm is. (top skin to bottom) That said there is plenty of bottom end in this canopy to handle no wind and high wing loads. I'm at 1.33 jumping into a 5,000 ft. MSL landing area with no problems. I don't swoop but the canopy responds very well to riser input. No buffeting. PD done good.

Howy, Paul and Bo are some great guys. Charlie is alright too. It is the experience of a lifetime. I can not praise this orginization enough. Just thinking about my experiences at Atmosphair puts a smile on my face. My first skydive (and second of two thus far) was with these people in the fall of '05. This is the first skydive everyone needs. Atmosphair is a skydiving school, NOT a club which translates into safe, successful and extremely worth every penny good times. I plan to get certified this coming summer through Atmosphair. As I mentioned earlier, the staff is incredible which makes the experience. I spoke with Bo for a while and with the others in the school group I was with from UWM. Instead of having distractions such as arcade games and the like social bonds, conversations, questions/answers and philosophies are shared. I'm not talking Descartes here either, I'm talking way of life stuff. The Atmosphair family is perhaps the most happy, content and charismatic bunch I have ever been around. I want a part of that.
