Sockpuppet 0 #1 January 25, 2007 Ok so I was bored and surfing the net. Stumbled over to apex base and saw they were advertising a round canopy for water jumps. Can someone (you guys) explain to someone stupid (me) why would you prefer a round over a normal canopy in the water? I just can't think of any reasons why. Cant be much safer as there is still fabric above your head. Ok so you could get away with a higher decent speed on impact but a reason for a whole different canopy? ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squirrel 0 #4 January 25, 2007 maybe they are trying to limit your forward speed, therefore getting less water up your nose when you hit the water. not quite sure if this helps the water up the butt problem though. you did say..."humor me..." ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
