Nationality: Colombian

Home dropzone: Xielo Skydive

Main canopy: GTR 69

I’ve been flying my GTR since 2021 and have done about 1200 jumps on it, and honestly, I love it. The openings are beautifully soft, but packing it right is key to getting it on heading most of the time. The flare on this canopy is super powerful, and even when I find myself in a long spot, it’s easy to get back to the drop zone. With a high wing load, it cuts through any wind, and having control of the rear risers helps a lot. Overall, I’d rate my GTR a solid 9/10. I’d definitely recommend it to advanced pilots—it’s more aggressive than the Valkyrie or the Leia, but that’s exactly why I love it.
