    You're doing something stupid. Of course you'll ignore this post, like all the others. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I consider myself an extremely aggressive pilot. That said, I am never ever afraid, or shy, to bail from a turn that isn't good - I just prefer to be going as fast over the ground as possible. If there's something risky(er) I want to try I spend time practicing at altitude for 100's of jumps and then simulate the landing as much as possible in a safe environment before doing the 'stunt'. HP canopy flight can not be done safely, only safer IMO. Blues, Ian ps: I just read the italics at the bottom and while I'm not a 'pro swooper' I figured I'd post anyway Performance Designs Factory Team

    Flight Concepts Prototype X-Braced canopy. Has a similar bracing structure to the Onyx I believe. Joe Bennett jumps one from time to time out here. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Ok - they were paying for peoples hop n pop jumps at Dublin to test it Dunno if that's a common thing but I thought it was pretty damn cool

    Keeping a clear and calm head in competition makes for a more enjoyable competition and outcome

    If I were to guess (and that's all it is), it's easier to pull out on the rears the higher your hands are. As far as actually making a performance difference - no clue. Definitely feels more comfy higher. Maybe Brian Germain will step in with a few answers? Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I like the silver and orange Katana. Looks great in the air. The teal/blue velos look nice too, as do the blue and white Stiletto's and Sabre2's. The 'wonderbread' velocity though....that one I can do without

    Yep that was it Derrick. Thanks for the info everyone. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I understand, correct me if I'm wrong, it (a reserve) only has to pass the drop test once within the specs to pass. Doesnt matter if it failed 30 times before that. Is that correct? Performance Designs Factory Team

    Don't feel bad - Katie dreamt the same thing Sat night (lost cutaway) and I dreamt I burned in under a triathalon (which is weird cause I've never even jumped one). Dreams are just F-ed up sometimes

    Great Waiting for Dave to post the results - don't want to steal any thunder. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Can you post the scores for each round? I (and I'm sure others) would be interested to see the speed, distance and za scores for the event. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I have a wrist mount and a neptune audible with canopy mode. I like the wrist mount, but I've seen one or two people with both a leg and wrist mount. I don't really have an issue seeing my wrist mount so I don't feel a need to get one on my leg. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Cause the bank came up so fast (was my fault set up a bit shallow and had a monsterous swoop) as I came around the bank was there, so I just lifted my legs and slid on my knees to a stop. Nice soft grass rules Performance Designs Factory Team

    From a fun freestyle round after the CPC meet. Not my best but I was running outta pond fast Pic quality could be better, oh well Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Nope. I still only wear 10 pounds of weight. The original record was set like that, or similar, and I've seen Jay, etc all go extremely far before they started loading extremely. Personally I believe the loading far to extreme for us 'regular jumpers' and borderline extreme for even the pros. 70 pounds of lead is no joke. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Congrats! Ok - enough of my useless post whoring. I'm logging off to go to CPC round one for the Southeast region. Have a great weekend. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team
