ive got about 500 jumps on a sabre 170 while spiraling ive spun it into line twists twice, the first time non intentionally probably around the 60 jump mark , the second time around 150 jumps i was trying that time and stupid as i was at about 1200' lately ive tried to find that point but not even close , my question is ,does the canopy lose that much performance after 500 jumps ,is it the lines ,i am a little heavier 15 pounds.

am possibly looking for a new 150 safire 2 , ive got the pilot priced out ,the krew rocks i also need the lowest price on a new sabre 2 150 i am going to demo them all this month and hopefully order by xmas time .

thanks for all your responses , i currently jump at eloy , i am not jumping enough to go past an intermediate canopie , when i packed my own chute i always rolled the nose and had wonderfull long sniveling openings ,all the packers seem to have the opinion that doing that was creating a potential for a reserve ride .and they will not roll the nose .i do realise that i need to demo .
