What color is your parachute?

Recommended Posts

Not the book, but literally...what color is your MAIN (not your reserve, we don't care :P)


-Um, unless you have an unusual colored reserve...then tell us about it. :)


Edit to add: forgot to say, mine is black, white, royal, and lime green.

Official PD color names: Black/Blackberry/Teal (in other words, black, purple, and green).

Stock colors. :)

Orange and Yellow. I didn't pick the colors. I got slightly drunk while riding my miniature motorcycle around at the WFFC. Then made the mistake of stopping at the PD Auction. $830 later I was the proud owner of a Vengeance 150 with only 1 or 2 jumps on it. B|

Colorful. Tri-190



Pretty. I jump a Tri 190 too. :)
I picked my colors. Now I'm thinking maybe I should have done something else, but it's all good.

My next one will be purple and red. I'll look like a flying Valentine. :ph34r:

Unusual colored reserve... Mine is fugly Pepto Pink... it's Airspeed's fault.

Current main is Tangerine top/bottom with Black ribs... [aka pumkin']
The new one is Gold bottom skin, Red top skin and ribs with Black braces.

The manual says the warts add stability in several ways. "Due to improved airflow, the touchdown (or stall) speed of the canopy is slowed considerably. Winglets provide for better recovery from steep carving turns, and improved directional control during cross wind landings. They also help to prevent the diving effect of the line twists that is often associate with elliptical canopies"
