Transition from rear risers to toggles

[phoenixlpr 0]

Easy to say. I have Type 8 risers and front risers loops made it really stiff, its really hard to pull the slider through and down. Other thing is my slider is not so wide, so It won't stay behind my neck/helmet.

My other gear should be ready soon and I have better chances with that. Thanks for your opinion!

1. find yourself a set of minirisers cheap on dropzone.com...

2. get slider locks sewn on them by competant rigger (or ball toggle on rig if you so desire...

3. pull down slider

4 smile like its going out of style

seriously pulling down your slider will change everything and you will have a whole new set of stuff to learn...and it will be exciting I remember when I started pulling my slider down...jump 200 man it made all the difference...

I have those on my other gear.

I think it was still a better choice to start rear riser landing with the bigger canopy.

yes always good to learn where they are...but they will be in a different place when you let your chest strap out and your slider is down....

if I hadnt just bought another canopy I would have had an extra set of 24inch risers laying around :-P

Thanks for your offer! I have 4 sets altogether.
2 wide and 2 narrow. I'm not planing more swooping on that canopy you might have seen.
