    Thanks Rosa!! You should get in on the baby pool. $5 dollar buy in, half of the proceeds go to a childrens charity - the other half goes to the winner. Winner picked on guess of: sex, date of birth, and weight - in that order :) Performance Designs Factory Team

    Says who? Besides which, Velo front risers are anything but mushy. The start of lighter than a JVX for sure, but they're rock hard when you're cruising. He's right, it does. It's most noticable in the recovery arc - which is shorter on the JVX. It's not a bad thing, or a good thing, it's just different. He very clearly says it's because of difference in style. I happen to agree with him - just like there are plenty of good cars out there, I buy ones that fit my needs/style/customer service history/etc. Canopies are no different. It's awesome the JVX is doing so well for you, I'm glad you like it, but 'better' (regardless of which canopy type you prefer) is a very subjective term. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Padu, I think you're going about it in a sensible, and correct, way. As long as you're happy with the wing, and are getting what you are looking for from it - I say "rock on"

    Yeah, fortunately living in MA for 5+ years taught me how to drive in it. Unfortunately, the city isn't really prepared for it, so roads are sketchier than they'd be in other areas that get snow. Gotta drive to the airport today - should be fun Performance Designs Factory Team

    Folks, Lets keep all canopy/swoop/etc pics in one thread. See the link below to find it. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2881229;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    Then your opinion is based on incorrect assumptions. Sponsorship, in my experience, is sought out by jumpers TO manufacturers - not the other way around. This thread is starting to drift anyway - lets try keep it on track. If people would like to discuss the topics such as sponsorship raised in this thread, I suggest simply starting a new one so that there's a bit of cohesiveness to the responses. Keep it clean people - we can all play in the same sandbox - there don't have to be lines drawn in the sand.

    I take my full RDS to terminal with no issues. And Mike (Frost) - that's damn near some of the best advice I've read here in a long time. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    I tried contacting Scott. No response so far , that's why I'm looking at other options. Hopefully he'll respond soon. Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    But then I'll look like Hans in spandex. We all know that's not a pretty sight

    Anyone got any good recommendations? Mine recently broke and I need to replace it ASAP. I have ten individual weights at 2 pounds each (20 pounds) that I'll need to put in it. Looking for something comfy. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    The wing is a different design. The line trim, I believe, is identical. Blues, Ian Performance Designs Factory Team

    There are definitely changes to the design. It is a different canopy
