I jump a CC95 loaded 2:1. The 20/30 first jump I did, it slammed the living hell out of me. I went to a 22" PC and it definitively made it better, maybe my neck got stronger =). Now I had put more than a 100 jumps on it and I get the ocasional slammer. I came from flying a Stiletto 120 which is on my second rig now (More predictable openings). My ST 120 seems like a student rig now. After openings the cc95 flys awesome. It flys way steeper than the ST and other canopies I have flown side by side the same size. Which I like. I have landed many times with no front risers input (that was the first reason I got it) with no issues whatsoever. I had a few openings with line twists and it always flies straight. Yesterday for example I had two line twists, very tight. I was able to kick one and suddenly the canopy dove to the right which I thought was going to be a for sure cutaway. I grabbed my handles while looking my altimeter (2300) and when I was about to pull, the canopy got stable and flew straight. I kicked the other line twist. Maybe luck maybe the canopy. My trusty st 120 doesn't see the light anymore. -------------------------------- I have no friends under 2K

I got a comp cobalt 95 2.1:1 and coming straight in with 20+ winds was not an issue. No carve, no front risers nothing. When I decided to keep this canopy that was one of my main issues (Landing straight in without any radical input) I flew this canopy straight in for about 15+ jumps in different wind conditions before doing any front riser manouvers. -------------------------------- I have no friends under 2K

I made 7 jumps over the weekend Including my jump # 1000. Wow!!! It only took me 7 years to get here. Too much beer and too much fun. See ya!! -------------------------------- I have no friends under 2K

In my experience, I always dealt with good people. I had bought/sold all my gear through the net. My first canopy, the guy sent it to me before I even sent any money. I have bought 3 containers and 4 canopies without any problem. I have sold maybe the same amount to people that doesn't know me. Everything worked out ok. Maybe luck but I think there are still people with some integrity in their life. -------------------------------- I have no friends under 2K

Jess: Bienvenida. Hola, te conoci cuando fuiste a WFFC en el 2001. Me acuerdo de algunos de tus amigos (Juan?) de cara no mas (hicimos verios saltos para el record de formacion internacional). Bueno un dia de estos nos vemos en PR. Soy Jaime de Colombia. -------------------------------- I have no friends under 2K

Ok, This is not a flame but my personal experience. I got about a 1000 jumps. I weight 190 at the door. I have about 600 jumps on stilletos. I currently own 2 stilettos 120's plus the comp cobalt. I had an opportunity to get a used Comp Cobalt 95 (150 jumps) so I did, I want it something fast to swoop that I could land without hooking it everytime. The previous owner told me that the openings were brisky. I am a tough guy so I said to myself it means pack it better. I have a 24" cazer pilot chute, I dump in track, hop'n'pops, 12 + rolls on the tail, shove the nose all the way in. I don't know what else. Every single opening is brisky to say the least. Every weekend my neck is so sore that I think my head is going to roll out of my body on every opening. I am sore today. I was the week before and the week before that one. And the worst is if I tried to look at my opening...God save me... whiplash. I have tried to video my openings and all I got is me filming my feet. I have done everything Atair's site says to do, relax, dump in track don't grab the risers, etc... I have now 20 jumps on the canopy and it flies. I mean IT FLIES. it is fast, dive nice, good riser input. I have landed straight in, double fronts and last weekend I started to carve it to get used to (Way different than my stiletto) but I can't pass on the openings and I am ready to dump the sucker. Oh well, maybe the regular Cobalt is what everybody praises. This 95 is not. My Sabre 170 was sweet compared to this one on openings. -------------------------------- I have no friends under 2K

This just seems like my life story.1 1/2 dating, 3 1/2 married, 1 1/2 divorced. I met my significant other at the DZ too. -------------------------------- I have no friends under 2K

I flat packed my stiletto 120's for about 600 jumps. Never had a problem with it. I had to start Pro packing when I went to a DZ with a small packing area. Who says you need tabs to flat pack? -------------------------------- I have no friends under 2K

I met Michelle at Skydive Texas a few weeks ago. She was looking for a new home DZ. We welcomed her with open arms. I introduced her to everybody I knew. She was real nice, upbeat and laid back. We jumped, hanged out and the next day I met her at Skydive Dallas. We were already talking about putting a team together for next year. She had to leave early that day and I couldn't say goodbye. I wish I had. We will miss you. Jaime
