  • I guess you guys don't use any sliders for these jumps? OUCH! Those openings look abrupt.

  • @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. :)

  • @jimmcgovern1,

    I'm sticking w/planes. My spine would get too hammered in short order from those openings...

  • @neomuttley I've taken off in a lot of planes, but only landed in a few. :) Blue Skies Buddy!!

  • Is the old fella lazy about folding his chute? lol

  • @chewiebhz Your right, I hate packing!!!!! >.<

  • @jimmcgovern1,

    Me too. On the other hand. I can't name a single bridge I haven't simply driven across... ;-P

  • @RitvarLegend Hope I make it to 100. "One Chute, One Chance....Get it right or get dead" Blue Skies buddy!! :-)

  • @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!! :)

  • In the first jump did he take the pilot chute off or something, how does that work?
