Interesting to see skydiving canopies with closed cells. Have you looked into building a canopy with all cells closed at the nose, like the latest paragliders?
@petercbruun - Petra is still in testing at the moment so not for sale as of now. But keep checking out our website newsfeed and our Icarus Canopies by NZ Aerosports facebook page for news of Petra :-) Shan
Edward Plitt If you are in the USA, then you must be 18 now, and I'm not sure why you made that comment. I am a licensed instructor, but not for this style of high performance landing. For that I would recommend hiring the expertise of Nick Batsch so you can learn this.
Edward Plitt I'm correcting you about the age 17 statement, not saying anything about your age... Note how I said: "I'm not sure why you made that comment."
@SrebrniLetach - Petra is still a prototype and in testing. But keep an eye out on our website and Icarus Canopies by NZ Aerosports facebook page for more updates about Petra - she'll be worth the wait! Blue ones, Shan
@yakirtosh - we aren't certain yet, when she is ready. We will definitely let everyone know on our website and facebook page when we are ready to release her so stay posted.
Pop n Swoop! Holy crap that is some small canopy and some intense speed! The last one was insane. I will now go back to my beginner 240 thank you.
10 years has passed since you were flying a beginner 240, what are you on now?
never cared for swooping, but after watching this video it all makes sense!!! sick music and video edit man, respect!!!!
Purely insane talent and what looks to be quite the x-braced canopy!

Haha, love it when he's catching up with the plane :')
Nick Batsch is a BOSS
i imagine you could do some epic flocking with wingsiuts flying that thing
i am reading this comment 4 years later with xrw seeming almost a normal thing :)
Would love to learn to do that. Amazing!
Edward Plitt Nick Batsch coaches, he's phenomenally detailed and patient, great guy
If you are at least 17, look up your nearest DZ and follow your dream.

Really, do I look 18?
