Thanks for everyone that made this possible and for being part of this great event.MutantUPT Vector2017-03-06 | Check out our newest product! The Mutant is a purpose-built swoop harness and container system that is a swooping game changer! Designed by Vince Reffet and Blikkies Blignaut, the Mutant is significantly different than a standard sport rig. The risers connect at the hips, similar to that of a speed flying harness, and control is initiated more by weight input than toggle pressure. The laid back, supine position of the pilot reduces drag which ensures a super long and fast swoop. This innovation significantly changes the flying dynamics of the canopy which means the Mutant is not suitable for all flyers. Jumping the Mutant requires training and a high level of experience; those with speed flying harness experience will realize an easier transition than those with no supine harness experience.Spectra Reserve Ripcord PSB 2015-01UPT Vector2015-06-24 | In this video we will show the procedure to apply the interim fix documented in product service bulletin PSB 2015-01 for the Spectra reserve ripcord.
