JohnMitchell 16 #2 October 24, 2012 But my landings suck. I need to get a smaller canopy so I'll land like those Red Bull guys. Shannon, those are words of wisdom. I just hope the people who need to hear it start listening some day. BTW, Does PD know you're counseling peeps to keep jumping their current canopies? Do you know how bad that is for sales?

Well crap... I'll never be able to downsize then because I REFUSE to even attempt to land near ours... that darn thing is 45-50 feet or more deep INTO the hanger and I'm not willing to fly my canopy in there...
