Hi Katana2,
thanks for the comment. PD has branded the video's as the video is a PD production, not to insinuate that everyone in the video is flying a PD canopy. We actually went out of our way to include footage of, and interviews with jumpers flying many different canopies not just PD's canopies.
Have a great day!

Hi Karl & Spanky,
Thanks for the comments. There certainly a number of additional issues regarding components and different types of them that aren't the focus of this particular video. We've done our best to provide a good level of general information regarding the double wrapping line stows/locking stows and the myth's in our sport surrounding that topic. A few of the items mentioned in your comments are addressed in the video, but if we haven't answered the question or concern pertaining to your individual situation, please feel free to give us a call at 386-738-2224 or email us at support@performancedesigns.com and we'd be happy to help!

Educational Video - Locking Stow Myth
Here is the first of many PD educational videos, the Locking Stow Myth. Take a look and see if Nick has any tips that can help you!
Thomas,
The real important part to stowing your lines is insuring that you have proper tension on those lines to make them pay out in order. Regardless of the type of band you use, you want to have that proper tension and also keep the length of the stows symmetrical for a clean opening sequence.
Thank you for the feedback and for watching the video. Feel free to email support@performancedesigns.com if you have any further questions.
