    Hey, I sold a Vengeance 120, about 2 years ago, to a guy from SD Oregon. His name is Bobby something... Do you know him? Is he going to the boogie. Tell him Ricky Says hi. HISPA #5

    I flew Vengeances (120, 107 and 97) for the longest time before going to Velos. I fly camera all the time and never had any problems with the Vengeance openings. The tendency with Vengeances is "Love them or Hate them" So, call PD and tell them to send you demos. You can jump them both before buying anything. HISPA #5

    I tried landing on rear risers once when one brakeline was stuck and it didn't go so well. *** That is a different story... when you have a brakeline stuck you have a canopy that is in half brakes. It is landable but I have seen a few people (some good friends of mine) getting hurt landing a canopy in that configuration. I would personally chop that canopy. That is exactly why people should not wait until 1,000 ft to release their brakes. You would limit your choices. HISPA #5

    It all depends... Have you done much rear riser turns/flares up high before? Do you know what a high speed stall is and how to prevent it? Have you ever land on your rears before? Is it windy today? etc. This is what I would do: Release the other toggle, fly to a open space where other jumpers do not usually land. Fly a good pattern to your spot and land up wind. If you are unsure that you can do all this safely, then, (altittude depending) chop it. If too low to even chop it, fly to an open space, flare with rears and PLF! A sprain ancle is much better than a line sretch touch down Edit to add: I have landed a Vengeance 97 and a Velocity 90 on rears (windy days) just to learn and prepare for something like what you ask.

    I think all that front-riser nonsense is just dangerous." *** It is far less dangerous than toggle turns "whips" (if you know what you're doing) Canopy piloting course is the way to go. HISPA #5

    Pitch while tracking? Only if I want to see my shoes up close and personal. HISPA #5

    That has to be the best raft dive video I've ever seen.

    looks like the toggles are not stowed Are they? If not, how did you get that line twist? HISPA #5

    It's a nice plane but, WAY TO TIGHT! Even with 13 on board, I could not breathe with a rig pressing on my chest. Up to 11 on board is fine. More than that feels like canned sardines. HISPA #5
