Opinions on this? I have a BJ now, and I kinda want another one. What do u think about WS jumps with it?

Works great.

This.

Don't forget about rolling the nose and some slider control and the thing flies like a fucking blackjack

I love mine and only use the big mesh slider on terminal jumps, fine mesh slider ma be a little more forgiving.

but yeah, works great

It can give you a really painful opening if you don't take fairly agressive measures to slow the opening down. My experience with a BJ is limited to having a ZP top skin by the way.

For WS jumps I do pretty much every little packing trick I can to slow down my openings. It'll still give you a pretty brisk opening, but nothing terrible.

As an aside, the first time I did a terminal jump on a black jack I did not agressively roll my nose etc, and I had an absolutely brutal opening that had me taking a few days off from jumping to let my neck recover :/

Get the fine mesh slider for softer openings.

People have done terminal (tracking suit), slider down jumps with BJ . No problem.

My BJ opens way softer than my flik when wingsuiting.
You are using a slider right?
