if youre gonna pull low to feel alive why not pull at around 650-700 ft?

Because my Stiletto takes 800 +/- to open. I said I wanted to feel ALIVE. Not commit suicide!!!

Well, I just hope that you can make a safe jump....

Dude...if I wanted to be safe I would stay home and never go in the bathroom.

My thoughts exactly.

Make sure you pack well.

Yeah... like a BASE canopy with a mesh slider freepacked (with a BASE pack job) into a container. A 32" PC & 9' bridle would be helpful. Basically a BASE setup in a TSO'd skydiving rig to satisfy FAA regs.

All that said, I wouldn't recommend pulling in the sub-1000 range unless you have some experience with terminal BASE jumps. Misjudging altitude at terminal that close to the ground is extremely unforgiving.

I should be careful then.....Huh. There's a nice Base rig with Shrivel flap I can borrow in Atlanta any time. Just haven't had the urge yet. Maybe soon.....

Everyone has got me thinking about the 'low pull' contest that took place at the DZ quite a few years ago....One guy pulled around 800' and the other was open at 300'....the best part was....the winner borrowed the DZO's gear for the jump... Spectacular!

Freefall - passing through 2k....think I was open by about 1,200....maybe 1,300.

H&P - 2 of them...one was a 2k H&P....didn't check when I was open, but hands were already on handles...JIC, another one was at 3k with a delay and the boys on the ground said they could see the logo on my shoes when I....umm....PULLED!. So I guess that was low!

I agree with the above statement...."don't get attached to ground rush"...the first time you do - you'll probably hit the ground and get rushed to the hospital!!!

3 feet.

I pulled, and pulled and pulled. and then I came...

Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky

You have a cypress? Just fly till it fires...quick opening, safe altitude....You'll certainly feel alive then!

...FUN FOR ALL!

Never exited below 3k but i have had to pull around 1500 because the group after us diddnt give it enough time (they were right over my head)....quite a rush waiting for the Triathalon to open (thing takes forever)

Don´t belive the hype

ABOUT 1200

1200...reserve ride

Unintentionally - maybe a hair under 800'. I figure I settled in (under my main) at somewhere around 400', as my canopy ride was 15 seconds long with the brakes stowed for 11 of them.

Intentionally - probably around 1300 a couple times and 1500 several times.

Not sure where I pulled...I wasn't quite aware, but I was in the saddle at 1500. Quite an Eye opening experience.

...FUN FOR ALL!

[tbrown 26]

Was open at 1200, under my main. A long time ago at the Rumbleseat Meet. Back in the days when we were young, stupid, and knew we'd live forever. We broke off our 10 way at 2500. Believe it or not, nobody said a word about it either. One cutaway at around 1200, the reserve was open just below a grand. That was stupid too - but fun to look back on!

[tbrown 26]

For the record, my lowest intentional pull to date is 3,600. That was low enough for me. Plenty low.

Sky - 1,300 ft (got out at 1,800... collapsed the slider beforehand)
BASE - 196 ft (PCA)

For me it was about 3K on my 3rd AFF jump. Needless to say, I had to repeat that level.

The lowest I have ever been under canopy is 1,400 feet. It was on one of my early BOC throwaway jumps (I learnt on ripcord) and I just forgot what I was meant to be pulling and where it was. It really scared me actually - I think I ended up pulling at something like 1,700 feet.
