Canada is full of sissies. Adopt the death penatly, then make negative claims about people from the good ol' US of A. Swoop and Poop....my favorite things to photograph

Thanks for the links! I couldn't believe how much control some of those skydivers had and the small amount of space to work in. Once I get my A license I will be sure to look more into it. Another question though, is all RW belly flying? Or does it include those who freefly in close proximity? Swoop and Poop....my favorite things to photograph

I am very new to the sport and I have been gaining new interests in different aspects of the sport, but I still have not figured out why RW flying is so popular. (I also have not done it yet b/c I am a student) What about it does everybody love? Swoop and Poop....my favorite things to photograph

This is the first parachute I have owned, but I have jumped on other types. On my first attempt, I was jumping a smaller size than I had jumped previously by 20 sq. ft. and I had by far the best control and landing thus far in my skydiving career. Soft opening, on heading, fast, and forgiving. Go buy one!

As a student just off of AFF it can be difficult to get rental gear because they only have 3 or 4 rigs and there is not much of a variety. Only Mirages (which are sweet, but before purchasing it would be nice to demo other manufacturers. Sometimes it can be difficult to get those rigs packed because they have a lot of tandems and AFF students who are priority #1. Other than that everything is terrific. It is beautiful, everyone is willing to help newcomers, nice aircraft, and they have Mirage dealers that can help with the purchasing process. I am proud to say that it is my home DZ

Although I was told it would be ready in 3 weeks and it took 10, I forgot about the delay as soon as I put it on my back. It felt like an extension of my own body and I could not be happier. My first jump with it was my smoothest jump thus far. *Possible buyers beware of the color picker on Mirage's website, the colors do not come out exactly the same as shown, but nevertheless they come out looking great and very sharp. Thanks Mirage.
