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.

Entry acro wing - i guess size matters huh?

Hi everybody,

I'm about to buy a Gradient Freestyle as an entry acro wing. Have been doing some SIV and ACRO on my current Gradient Golden ll and will be doing my first Acro course this summer.

Now, after having narrowed my options down to Gradient Freestyle the question remains; what size? There is the size 20 and 22 on their website but they also offer size 24 and after a brief talk with the guys at Gradient they suggested I'd take the 24. I'm 90 kg. naked.
