This video is for licensed skydivers, or those about to be licensed, help choose your first main canopy. I talk about 6 canopies (and 3 runners up) that might be appropriate for new skydivers at the right size and wing loading. Also I talk about how some canopies to avoid.
As always, this is information to supplement your local riggers, instructors, and canopy coaches.
