Avion 0 #4 May 19, 2005 >>>Caution! Only Partial Explaination<<< It's starts out the same as pro packing, except for folding the canopy and putting in the bag part. In Psycho packing you flip the canopy over 180 degrees and roll it up like a sleeping bag from the top down then stuff it in the bag instead of S folding it.

This is something you should have someone experienced with show you in person.

In practice, if you pack correctly, it shouldn't matter whichever method you use. The main advantage to the psycho pack seems to be that it takes less time and you can pack it up smaller. If you go with the psycho pack, add a bridle extension of about 4 inches at the canopy.
