canopywhore 0 #26 September 29, 2003 I don't know if you are still looking at this thread but take a minute to absorb what they are saying. The tempo 150 doesn't bother me but the 135 is a little small. When your on final and someone cuts you off there is no substitute for experience. I won't lecture any more than that, but I will tell you I had over 500 jumps before I broke my femur and I thought I was ready for what I was doing. Maybe you won't make any mistakes like I did. All I know is after 6mos of rehab and 11 weeks off of work it changed my attitude about some things. My new attitude is "I checked my pride at the ER room". There is a whole lot of thought that needs to be given when choosing both of your canopies. Nobody could have talked me out of what I was doing at the time, good luck be careful.

That was fun but I think I am going to get a 210 when I get my own gear. I went through aff with a 260 and after a couple went down to a 230. Stuck with that until my most recent jump. 210 seems about right for a couple hundred jumps or so, maybe a 190 after while, who knows...
