Mikki_ZH 0 #26 July 13, 2006 This is only a guess: I think on a terminal jump the vents have a very low impact on the opening. I think on a terminal jump the canopy inflates manly through the nose. The geometry and the line setting of the ACE and the BJ are identical. I had some hard openings on subterminal (7 to 11 s) jumps with my ACE, but I think this is manly do to bad packing. I never had a hard (in the BASE way...) opening with my same size BJ, but I have less jumps on it and maybe my packing has improved a bit... But in general I think on terminal jumps both canopies will open the same. I would not buy a unvented canopy anymore.Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

base428 1 #28 July 13, 2006 In the early 90's, I put 80+ BASE jumps on my Cruiselite 220. I would happily jump it again as long as there is water below. Just give it more time and the Cruiselite will be extinct. QuoteDoes this mean that someone other than Billy B jumps a Cruiselite?(c)2010 Vertical Visions.
