Dude....Sorry to have to be so direct...But one jump , in which you have not even gotten 10% out of the canopy, is no way to judge this.
Someone else said the right thing...Go and try it at least 50 times...Get back on this forum and you will probably eat your own words.,...
It's the pilot in combination with the tools that gives the performance....So many great , experienced skydivers love the crossbrace...Are they all wrong?
Figure out what you want ...find a canopy (canopies!)thats designed for that purpose and demo a few of them...Make sure you take it easy...and have fun while doing it!
And as a new swooper...make sure you become an old swooper by making good decisions on the ground and in the air..Be safe..hook high,,drink beer!
