Anyone with experience jumping this monster of a canopy? I jump a Flik 322 now, am looking for a second canopy and there is a chance to pick up a 354, but is seems so big (as if 322 isnt). Loading wouldnt be unreasonable for me, if you have direct knowledge, especially slider off in the 300 ft. area, please let me know what you think of this canopy or PM. thanks, -Moose

i think it will be sweet, especially if you are tandem jumping with "Stroodle-Hopper".

I've got a Flick 354 about 10 jumps each slider up and down, never from as low as 300. As you've already stated it's big (and heavy)...but it makes a really nice option if you want a big slow canopy that lands like butter -I have a multi which I'm pretty sure I don't like. Rear riser input with the brakes stowed is good, slow on toggles. I've considered getting rid of it more and more as I've found my Troll 305 does the job fine -especially on low freefalls or S/L jumps where the 354 may take a smidge longer to open and turns slower.
