dqpacker 7 #2 February 24, 2015 First my info. 2000 solo canopy flights. Coming from a Velocity 96 loaded at 2.7, haven't jumped any other xbraced canopies besides a 103 velocity, 90% of my skydives have been focused on swooping or high performance canopy flight. Not sponsored and I don't compete. Now on a Valkyrie 96. I only made 2 jumps on mine because the weather has been shit but it was awesome. Openings were better than a velocity. Tons of range and power. Can't wait to fly it more and fly it harder. https://vimeo.com/120315122 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt3sa 0 #5 February 24, 2015 dqpacker***What are your top and bottom skin colors? Haha! top skin is red, bottom lime green with black xbrace and ribs/tail ribs. Looks sick. I bet it looks better when it isn't overcast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fr33flyr 0 #6 March 1, 2015 Is that one a stock canopy? I ordered a custom canopy on day one and was told not to expect it until April or May. I keep hoping it will come in early. _______________________________ I like life....It's something to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I keep hoping it will come in early. nope not stock. since my first post, i have put another 6 jumps on it. still learning but loving it more every jump. i've done 4 jumps with a regular slider and 4 with full rds now and all the openings have been awesome, one the slider hung up for a second but it was packing, leave nose exposed.

danielcroft 2 #13 March 6, 2015 https://vimeo.com/121428859 That's the video from my first jump on the demo VK79 loaded at ~2.2:1. I normally jump a VC84 @ ~2.0:1. Harness input is super, super responsive. The wing wants to turn. I can see how people get into trouble. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #14 March 7, 2015 https://vimeo.com/album/3291688 Edit: This is an album of the jumps I'm doing with the VK. 3 hop and pops from 12.5 so far. Terminal jumps start today.

FlyBabeAU 3 #15 March 8, 2015 Your Valkyrie is gorgeous. Love the colours and how her insides show up so well in the sunset especially. A thing of beauty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angryelf 0 #17 March 9, 2015 https://vimeo.com/121626448 https://vimeo.com/121626447 Two links above to VK landings. One is POV, the other is outside. Light and variable conditions at 1500 ft MSL (Eloy). VK 90 Demo at 2.7 WL. Pretty nice wing, sad to send it back to PD. If someone wants to make the links clickies, feel free. -Harry"Sometimes you eat the bar, and well-sometimes the bar eats you..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it's not mine, it's a demo. Still, while I wouldn't buy that colour myself, it's definitely beautiful. https://vimeo.com/121803718 There are my landings from Sunday and I've added all 17 jumps on the VK79 album (https://vimeo.com/album/3291688). Love the wing, so much fun to fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpug 0 #20 March 11, 2015 Great vids...which DZ where you at on the 1390 jumps in the hills? Looks beautiful! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #21 March 11, 2015 That is Skydive San Diego. The earlier jumps are a Skydive Elsinore. We have some beautiful dropzones here in SoCal... at least when it's rained. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpug 0 #22 March 11, 2015 Thanks. Seeing Elsinore bought back great memories of AFF and a few return trips...will try to drop in to San Diego if I'm in the area again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #23 March 11, 2015 For sure. You can't do more than a 90º at Oceanside but definitely worth checking out, it's beautiful there as well. /threaddrift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
