You're right about that one, I found since I jump intermittantly now, that staying in the larger canopies is a good thing. Not too large though. I go 225 and 190 Sabre is about as racy as I care to go. If needed, I have access to a nice rental 200 that does o.k. in a pinch. It has a cypress, so I feel pretty good about that.FracCapt said:In addition to what the others have said to stay away from....here's another thing to avoid...and it's a biggie....don't downsize your canopy too fast. Most people want to jump smaller and smaller canopies...and most can handle them when everything goes right, but when the sh!t hits the fan, they may be well beyond their skill level. I love my tiny cross braced canopy...but it took a long time to work up(or down) to it.
I prefer the triathalon. Tried the Sabre a few times, and I think it tried to kill me once with all the line twists I got. Right on about staying in a comfortable SLOW canopy.FN FAL said:You're right about that one, I found since I jump intermittantly now, that staying in the larger canopies is a good thing.

Most of our student and rental gear came right from the people that made the movie "cutaway" with Gary Busey and Dennis Rodman. Although it was kind of a sad movie, it is neat seeing the rigs in the movie then jumping them or seeing a student land with one of them.
