- After a year and 160 jumps on mostly 220 ^ft 7 cells, and a few
- infrequent jumps of higher performance canopies, hours of agonizing
- over whether I had the balls to jump an itsy-bitsy ZP 9 cell,
- I finally have filled out an order form, and am buying a PD Lightning,
- 160 ZP, a 7 cell CRW canopy.
- I weigh 145-150, jumped a 176 Sunday, and had the sweetest landing
- I've ever had, following a most exciting ride down. I'm glad I waited
- and didn't buy a PD 9 cell, or an AR-7, or a Super Evolution, or a Sabre,
- though I may yet try to jump some smaller Sabres soonish. gak- all I need
- is two rigs ;-)
-
- If you get a chance, try a Lightning!
