3 jumps. I tried front riser turn at 1000ft to see how it behaves compared to my main. As I was overloading the canopy I thought that if I try to land it without turn I would end up sliding on my ass esspecially when there was no wind. I was prepared to stop my turn if I was to low. There was no wind so landing in different direction wouldn't be a problem. I don't want to state that straigh in approach was unmanageable but it seemed to me that I would be easier If I gain some speed. LIBOR

Hi, I have three reserve rides on Techno 155 at aroud 1,6 lbs/ft2. The only other reserve ride was on old Swift (really strange canopy - 5 cells) so I can't tell the diffrence beween PD and Techno. I have only good experiences with Techno. I have cutawayed from both high and low speed malfunctions and it always opened quickly without any problems like line twists or end-cell closures. I think that it flares better than average F111 canopy of same size like Falcon or PD-9 cell. Canopy is also more responsive . First two landings were with modrate winds so I used straight in aprroach and the last one was when threre was no wind so I did 180 deg turn using front riser. It was easy to land in all cases. Definetly I would recommend the canopy. It saved my life 3 times. LIBOR
