Hey guys,

They are now out: curious of any feedback from whoever gets their hands on the ALL-T (all around) and/or the RISE (UL terminal only).

Thanks a lot in advance!

You are welcome

Thanks - good lesson :)

And the product page is now up:

All Atair canopies have been removed from the site. Interesting as they have been in a close relationship for a long time.

It's my understanding that Adrenalin chose to terminate that relationship so they could focus on selling their own brand of canopies.

I'm honestly going to be very surprised if Adrenalin's first attempt at building canopies comes anywhere close to Atair (where they've been doing canopies for 20 years).

My UL4 has been done for a while, but the OSP2 supposed to go in it is a few months behind... time to see if they end up in the same place

I'm curious to see how the return of the 5th upper control line pans out. I'm also curious as to what sounds like "partial" non-load bearing ribs on the ultra light.

I could try the new rise canopy from Adrenaline base. I did 6 jumps with it. Super happy. Good opening event after strong flare, smooth and straight. The canopy is reactive but not nervous. I like that with base canopy, precis for the small landing. And it's lighter than other canopy even trango.
I recommend you.
I'll buy one after sold my trango

Thanks for the insight. I am waiting on a all-t for December now and lets see if i get to do some jumps (work)

Tom the All-T is based on the OSP (the Outlaw was also very inspired by the OSP) so my guess is that is will be a good canopy. It's hard to fail when you start from a good base.

@Fledgling: the Rise I think is based on the Techno from Parachute de France, that was their reserve canopy for year. So no big risks here too.
The "partial" non-load bearing ribs was the main caracterisctic of the Techno as you can see in its french certification here:

It's in French but the interesting part are the drawings ;)

Interesting.

 
Off Topc:


Is it a Trango3? I'm looking for advice on a Trango3

Nope, trango 1, trango 3 is the worst.

 


Oh, that's not good.
Any chance you could give a bit more detail please?

I have a Trango 3, I agree and not.
At first the Trango 3 was with Vectran lines and a "slow slider" (slider with stripes).
First I removed the stripes and the canopy got better opening, then I chnage the lines after 350 jumps with microlines and the opening were even better.
Also I set my brake settings (15cm up) and toggle settings (way shorter but I do not remember how many).
So yes when I got it I had a not so good canopy, but after I liked it a lot, it flies pretty good in full brakes, and stable.
Set it up, remove the stripes on the slider and you will have a good slider up canopy.

 

Thanks Antoine

Hi guys! Are there any other reviews? In the meantime there was a demo in LB and at Brento but I hadn't the chance to go.

At the moment I'm using a Troll but I'm going to build a second rig just for terminals. Thank you!

For now almost all the people who got it are firends or sponsored, so hard to have a real honest feedback.
I'm trusting some of my friends about the Rise and that it is a fast and stable canopy, but in BASE what I would like to know first is if it's easy to land in a small place with an half-brake approach and not if I can make a long flare at the landing...

Thank you Antoine! We share the same opinion. The speed can be good if there's wind, but I'm more interested in accuracy and opening. For sure I don't want to swoop!

Hi! And what about comparing Trango's and Peak? I have Peak265 (vectran lines) and I'm super happy with it. Anyone who have experience with all of types?

Comparing Trango and Peak to each other, or comparing Trango, Peak and RISE?

Feel free to put your thoughts on any of those. I'd be interested to know what you think

Just out of interest, and because Squirrel seems to gets loads of shit for it, anyone know where these are made?
Are they made “in-house” or outsourced to the Far East?

Not sure where i read it, but i believe is Eastern Europe. by Sky Paraglders i think it was.

Edit: It's in their own website, doh. So yes, Sky PG's who are based out of Czech Republuc. Unsure if the factory is there though

Yes, Sky paragliders have the factory in Czech republic. They have long tradition in manufacturing of paragliding gear. My paragliding wing is from them.
But it's new information for me, that new AB canopies growing in my home country

Hi Tom! I meant comparing Trango's line and Peak (because I read couple of opinions, that Trango3 was worst of Trango's line, I'm curious about differences) I had Trango2 and now I jumping Peak.
But I'm curious about comparing of other light canopies too. Thanks
