Upsizing makes me laugh

[VisionAir 0]

Its funny how I'm starting to see so many people wanting to trade their canopy UP to something bigger than they bought.

Baby steps folks...remember to take baby steps when down sizing.

Least you learned before you "femured" in

Huh?!? What cloud?!? Oh that!!! That's just Industrial Haze

I hope that someday, if I downsized too much, I would have the sense to know the mistake and correct it.

I applaud the decision , not laugh at it.

But you are right in one sense,there is a train of thought that says "Buy smaller and grow into it. That can be dangerous for some.

Those that decide they made the wrong decision, should correct it . Without laughter.

Good point though.

Just curious, how did you get the nickname "Divot"?

By leaving one.....and not from downsizing to quickly.

I suspect that every great swooper has earned their respect for mother earth at least once and if they haven't they will. And if more than once....you must be a cat.

I'm no swooper, but I have much respect for Mother Earth.

Our canopy, who art in Heaven
hallowed be thy name.

Thy Kingdom come,
thy swoop be done
on Earth, as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily swoop.

Forgive us our failed flares,
as we don't forgive those who have failed their flares before us.

And lead us not into temptation to downsize too quickly,
but deliver us into a canopy size that is honed for our abilities.

Amen.

Ok ok your right I shouldn't be laughing at their poor decision making and should congratulate them for their sense of body preservation...snicker snicker snicker

Look up the quote if you fall down it doesn't count.....then you will see a great debate on that line you just posted.

Fly it like you stole it!

I'm sure it was someone elses fault...

Only upsized because the deal was right and I was getting tired of the neck aches after the openings with a camera on my head...besides, the colors were right...
former canopy: Sabre 150 loaded 1.46:1
current canopy: Spectre 170 loaded 1.29:1
Both are fun...
