I was, and still am, bummed to hear of Chris' passing. I will always remember him making comments during my first wingsuit flight. "I've seen 2 x 4 boards that bend better than you!!" Nearing 100 jumps later, I've kept the faith! Fly Hard with Blue Skies!! William ROCK OUT WITH YOUR C**K OUT!!

A few days ago, I was jumping in CA, not my regular DZ. I did a solo jump at 13,000ft and waived off at 4500 and opened at about 3500. Upon opening my left steering line broke. I took a quick visual above, and all cells were open and the canopy itself was in good shape. No question that it was flyable. I eventually landed with rear-risers. I DID NOT un-stow my right brakes. Here is my question: Would the flight characteristics of my canopy(viper 172 w/wingload of 1.4:1) have flown better if I unstowed my right brakeswhile not having any left brakes? ROCK OUT WITH YOUR C**K OUT!!
