Hi!

I normally jump slider off but plan to jump a slider up soon... I only did once in my short carreer so far (101 jump yet)

Probably plan to jump sub-terminal (around 8 sec delay).. I use a blackjack 240, my weight is 165, I have a small hole slider...

Wonder if you use large mesh hole with this canopy or use the small hole instead?

What do you recommand for a BlackJack?

I made a search but want to know different experience

Thank's

i have a blackjack 280 with a large hole mesh slider and have jumped it from 5 seconds to terminal. Some people say that you should never use a small hole mesh slider but i have seen many blackjacks with them.

I have almost 200 3sec-terminal slider up jumps with a fine mesh (small hole?) slider.
working great for me. 70 of those wingsuit.

huh ?

since a few years CR has been using a high profile small hole mesh slider AS A STOCK ITEM with Ace/BlackJack.

I would go with their recommendation, but I don't think it will kill you if you have large hole, It certainly worked fine for me :)

oups... didn't know that the fine (small) hole was stock items with the black jack!

I bought my canopy used...

thanks for the info!

At 8 seconds any slider will work, but mesh,
small hole or large hole, works much better.

I jump small hole mesh on all my slider up jumps no matter what the delay. ( a BJ 240 ) I havn't found the need for a large mesh slider...ever. I even use small mesh slider up at the Perrine without any issues.

Ody

8 sec. is hardly sub-terminal. You'll be fuckin' haulin' ass by 8 FULL sec. throw the fine mesh on.....your back and neck with thank you.
