@neomuttley For short delays, 1 to 4 sec, we take the slider off. It makes your cute open quicker. But we do use sliders for longer delays to keep from knocking our socks off. :)
@ninemen123 It's called a "McConkey" or a "Rowover". Shane McConkey was the first to do it. He was a world class skier and a real pioneer in BASE. He died last year, BASE skeing off a cliff while filming a scine for the movie "Human Flight 3D"
You take off the pilet chute and bridel. Let the chute down slowly. Then give your lines one more check to make sure you don't give yourself a line over malfuction. Dive way out and tuck your body at the apex of your leap. That's it...Easy!! :)
I guess you guys don't use any sliders for these jumps? OUCH! Those openings look abrupt.
