andy2 0 #2 August 29, 2003 The first one is called a McConkey, and the second one is called a "tard". You described the method of doing these, I will not attempt to correct/clarify/agree with anything you said as I am not quite sure the proper way to do these jumps. --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm...

motherhucker 0 #3 August 29, 2003 I believe that "hang over" is the term used to describe the unpleasant physical effects felt following the heavy use of alcohol. OTOH, it's also defined as: "A letdown, as after a period of excitement"--so I guess that would be accurate here. Personally, I like the "Mc Over" and I think that "The Tard" is wholly appropriate.

TomAiello 26 #7 September 2, 2003 A well executed McConkey should open somewhere around the same as a static line--perhaps a touch slower. A TARD ought to open faster than a static line (or virtually anything else aside from a kited exit). I'd guess that the limit for TARDs will be somewhere under 100'. Please don't try either of these things without instruction and supervision from someone who has experience with them. And do your first 20 or so from a nice, forgiving object (like a span with water underneath), or perhaps a balloon.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
