jibe 0 #928 December 7, 2011 do you have this 3 riser system, or is it home made? :) i ride whit rings in my softlinks and like it, but thinkin about do a solution just like that!Quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites hookitt 1 #929 December 7, 2011 Wow, that's an old picture. That canopy has been sold a couple times since. I made those however they can be ordered as an option or yours can be modified. I haven't used triples in quite a while but recently borrowed a rig with the same canopy I jump and triples. I liked it and might give it another go. They're not very popular anymore.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

Greetings, Do you know a reason or are you asking for real? They never were that popular anyway. Most people tend to use what comes stock with the rig no matter what. Usually they don't know anything different than what they have, good or bad. Personally I liked them. I jump a pull out and they're not nearly as popular as a throw out either :)My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry...

If you operate a pull-out correctly, the PC is placed in the airstream at the end of your outstretched arm. If you don't believe me try holding onto one - it will be ripped, painfully, from your hand!

I call it the lanyard - but I may be wrong too. Anyway, it is about 12 inches long on my rig so with my arm extended it is about by my elbow, which means the PC is catching air and in a fraction of a second is vertically up from your outstretched hand in the airstream, inflated and leaving your grip whether you like it or not! I hated jumping with triple risers. Extra work packing, they would sometimes snag the knot on the brakeline where the toggle attached (it was older gear) and I never really believed it gave any more mechanical advantage at my level of flying. I doubt it does at any level as the pro-swoopers aren't using them AFAIK.
