And if you make a 1,000 jumps a year like the Gold Knights do, then they deserve a new canopy "every year". no they dont and its outrageous that our tax dollars are being put to use so they can swoop new katanas 10 times a day.

Let's see, they swoop 10 times a day, but do not make 1,000 jumps a year. Can you please explain that math to me? It doesn't seem to add up... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't seem to add up... lineset every 500 jumps i'd say you could slap a few linesets on a canopy seeing as how some of the stilettos and sabres I've jumped that have thousands of jumps on them behave. ZP doesn't really wear out, the seams lose a little porosity but the material itself remains zero porosity for its life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
