110 jumps flyin a pilot 210 loaded at 1.1:1. I plan on flyin that canopy til it falls apart and I have a coach that's workin with me on progression into HP landings History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

take into consideration my jump numbers before taking this as fact but to my knowledge: the pro's do use rears to get the most distance with minimal impact on their speed, but while using rear risers to swoop your canopy will stall at a much higher speed. so once they get close to the stall point of their canopy on rears they switch to toggles to get that bottom end lift and go that extra distance. using the toggles is like when a plane extends its flaps a little prior to landing, they may create more drag and slow you down but at the same time they are creating more lift which will allow you to stay up while going slower. i have no personal experience with rear riser landings, nor do i plan to get any anytime soon, i just ask a lot of questions when talking with my canopy coaches and do a lot of studying. And if there is someone else with more experience reading this please verify it or correct it if need be. History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

I'm sure there are plenty of others who feel the same way. *** it changed my mind too, well that and the fact that i'd rather spend money on jumps than a new canopy every 100. a good point was brought up in this post though, my motivation for wanting to downsize quickly before i saw the light were the super swoopers i'd meet that would brag about how quick they went down. not the best impression to make. just my .02 though History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

personally, I think that he should just go ahead and try Luigi's vx39.*** you stole my joke @sshole History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

Hey no shop lifting the pooty on 4ways dude.... Quote don't hate me cause i'm beautiful History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

wing loading is the ratio of pounds of weight per square foot of canopy. ie: 200 pound jumper under a 100 sq ft canopy is a 2:1 wing loading the weight used to calculate wing loading is exit weight, not just body weight. so for me, i'm about 210, plus 20 pounds approx. of gear. 230 out the door total. under a 210 sq ft canopy i'm flying at 1.1:1 wingloading. hope this helps. there is also a wing loading calculator at the top of the canopy piloting forum. just click the link and it brings it up.

Definitely take what I say with a grain of salt on this one(look at my jump numbers), but one thing I did to help with getting my legs working too. Do some solo jumps, and just turn in place, making sure your legs are working just as much as the rest of your body when you are turning, then do some using only your legs. I did quite a few jumps like this and notice that now when i'm working on flying with someone i don't think about using my legs, they automatically do all the work freeing my arms up to take grips. It worked for me, and it continues to help on those days when i can't find anyone that DOESN'T WANT TO FREEFLY!!! Good luck bro.
