TrickyDicky 0 #26 March 20, 2006 Opinion Ive heard from someone very experienced in the UK: PdF: Great containers, poo canopies. My friend owns a next and he's happy enough with it. It looks too much like a vector to be worth it though (like a xerox), if you are probably gonna pay the same for a Next or a Vector. One problem he did have though was a pilot chute with a kill line that was too short, therefore reducing the drag on the pilot chute, causing him to have hesitant openings. That is just 1 issue with 1 container though. Here in the UK we have a great time when the $ is weak. But alot of rigs bought are Teardrops, made by thomas sports. They were initially Racer copies (origionally it was called the Chaser and they also make a vector copy... the Zerox ). Ive just ordered a new Wings, mainly cos it looks pretty good and its cheaper than everything else. If I had more money Id probably go for a Javelin, but they're just so damn expensive. UK Skydiver for all your UK skydiving needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That does not mean that reason is the only reason for doing it or even the best reason. It just happens to be theirs. Sparky The "POPTop" was not John’s idea; he bought the rights for Ted Strong. I agree. I didn't intend to imply that JS's way was the best or only way. Nor would I be inclined to believe that BB's way is the best or only way. Both design philosophies have their strengths.
