Dan,
I was using a security 350, which i believe is a round chute. I was trying to steer it downwind to get closer to the road, but could not pull down on the left riser, as that hand had a death grip on my nano. As a result, i was steering using the right riser by accelerating the turn when going into the wind and relaxing when running with the wind. All of my previous jumps were done with steerable rectangular chutes with steering toggles... a bit easier to steer.
