    Yeah, I agree. While I didn't find the first 2 article particularly enlightening, I like the tone of Wendy's link more. In essence, I'm a believer that we're all genuinely trying to do what we think is best for the country, regardless of where we stand on the political scale. Unfortunately, some people can't see past their own intollerance and it hurts us all. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Hey Chuck. I had a chance to talk to Ian and Jay about this. Basically they feel (and I agree with them) that the Stilletto doesn't have some of the characteristics of the newer models - Longer recovery arc, longer toggle stroke, etc). I don't believe for a second they meant it's not a good swooping canopy, but rather that they felt there are BETTER options now available for swooping for both beginners and advanced pilots.

    Nice job. Crap though, I knew I should have gone to skyquest. I heard the canopy piloting events were quite challenging. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Maybe we'll be lucky and survive these 8 when someone defines "overwhelming deficit" to this one Performance Designs Factory Team

    They're banking on grabbing a few jumpers from entering the incorrect domain name. Slimey, but not unexpected. Performance Designs Factory Team

    Crap, I thought I edited that out.....damn photoshop Will try get a screenie of the outside video but we built a 3 way HD with 2 sit stingers and then opened it up to a HD, SIT, HD, SIT, HD line today Blues! Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with Ian Bobo to ask him this very question. He's response to me was Sabre2 -> Katana -> Velocity. There are simply better options than the stiletto now. Jay has said the same thing to me. So from my point of view, there you have it. Whether the pilot is a good alternative, I simply don't know I've never jumped one. As has been mentioned, Brie, demo both and see which one you prefer. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Picture by Brian Buckland. Nice picture...pity he got such shitty video of the dive Performance Designs Factory Team

    Yep, very. People are looking for the "magical" recipe for swooping. Problem is that there is none. All there are, are tools to help make it a little easier, but you have to know when and how it's appropriate to use them. This is kinda what I was getting at. Relying on a beep isn't the way to go. I think we both agree, there are NO SHORTCUTS in swooping. Blues bro, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Industrial, although it's borrows from so many music styles it's really hard to categorize. It's pretty electronic though. Performance Designs Factory Team

    Ever see the "Happiness in Slavery" video? Talk about screwed up. I felt quite sick at the end of it. It was great Performance Designs Factory Team

    It's edgy though...so be warned. It's somewhat of an acquired taste. Performance Designs Factory Team

    It's a pleasure

    Great song, but unfortunately way over played and mainstream. I'm quite fond of Mr Self Destruct, Ruiner, Piggy, March of the Pigs and Hurt. Performance Designs Factory Team

    Shit - I missed that type o. Damn

    Absolutely!! It's what I've been listening to all week. It's unreal how you can make something so polished (every sound in there for a reason and so many are subtle) and still keep it raw. Oh and BTW in case you didn't know, it's a great cd to do the dirty to . Never would have guessed it, but it's like the whole cd was made for sex Performance Designs Factory Team

    Go look for a CD called "Pretty Hate Machine". It's about the best way you can be introduced to NIN Performance Designs Factory Team
