adventurechick 0 #1 June 19, 2006 So I am trying to learn everything there is to know about my canopy.... are there any cool books to read about canopies? I am definitely trying to learn by doing as much as possible... but I'd like to read about it as well.

kingbunky 3 #7 June 20, 2006 a canopy control course would be a good idea as well! i've taken brian germain's and would highly reccomend it, and there are others available as well."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."
