D-bag connection

What is the most common way to connect to a paraglider for a D-bag drop? The first drop I did was from a tandem paraglider, with the d-bag connected to the front spreaderbars. The big disadvantage of this is that the pilot will be on his own on the tandem, which is not so good in strong wind or thermals. What if you drop from a solo-wing, will you use spreaders? Or slinges so that you are below the pilot? Please give me some advice! Thanks! Wouter

Risers extensions or longer risers?

Hi there,

Has anyone came across deforming your glider while pushing from riser in SAT?
I fly Aspen 2 and my hand land above delta maillons on the lines which deforms the canopy. I have extended risers by 20cm using 22kN quick draws links used in rock climbing.
I wonder if anyone had this problem and has done something similar. What materials has been used if so.

To be honest I am worried if my solution is going to withstand very dynamic manuvers like Asy SAT :D

Thanks in advance for all the answers.
