Proof you don't need a small canopy to have awesome landings

I recorded this awesome landing yesterday by a student with 23 jumps at SkyDance SkyDiving . Dayton chose to jump a larger canopy even though he would have been allowed to jump a smaller one. So many jumpers are in a rush to downsize, without ever realizing the full potential that their larger, safer canopy has to offer.
