sight_burner 0 #1 March 3, 2005 I have been doing some thinking and reading and with a few mods could a P.D spectre make an acceptable base canopy and if not why?? and I know you should only jump base spesific gear and canopies but hypothetically speaking again what if a spectre was the cinario.

TomAiello 26 #2 March 3, 2005 In short, super bad idea. If you read this thread, you can read John LeBlanc (of PD) saying: QuoteLike I said in my original post, the PD's slow cell inflation slider down is not good for what is happening in base today. The PD reserve was designed to be a great skydiving reserve, not a base canopy. For base, get a canopy designed for base. Can I get any more clear than that?-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sum1sneaky 0 #3 March 3, 2005 You'd honestly want to base jump a canopy that has it's reputation centered around soft openings/long snivels? Even hypothetically, it is a bad idea. Really bad! It's a good thing you were smart enough to ask first before trying it out off your local exit point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #8 March 3, 2005 Seeing a jump done (on video or in person) does not indicate that (a) it's a good idea, (b) the jumper does that regularly, or (c) they'd use the gear off anything other than a nice span over deep water.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
