incode 0 #1 January 19, 2007 Hello all. Does anyone have any experience with psycho packing a vengeance or any other airlocked canopies? Just wanted to know if it would be a good idea or not. I have done a search and didn't find much at all, any input would be great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Cloudi 0 #2 January 19, 2007 Depends whether you wish to go by the manufacturer suggestion or not. PD recommends pro-packing all of their sport canopies. Are you jumping this or asking because you are a packer? Kim Watch as I attempt, with no slight of hand, to apply logic and reason.

Good luck with that. Ditto. I weigh the same as you do, and only started jumping a vengeance 135 this year (at ~750 jumps). I wouldn't recommend one to someone with your jump numbers. As for packing, don't do anything special with it just pro-pack without rolling/stuffing/... anything. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites br0k3n 0 #8 January 29, 2007 QuoteHello all.

After it got some jumps on it and my packing got better, I considered pro-packing it, but then I decided... why mess with a great thing?Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and shouting, ".... holy crap....what a ride!"

Had a rough opening the 2nd jump but that was due to my carelessness, (I let the slider creep off the bump stops but thought it would be OK). would happen to anyone on a pro-pack. Just started Psychoing again and I absolutely love the openings. For some reason, way better heading performance and just the speed I like it. not to fast but not a sniveling bastard. Did I mention, a lot easier to get into the bag. I would recommend to at least give it a try.
