Speed jumping?

[AggieDave 6]

I've played with it some...and have done 275mph on my head...I can get over 200 mph very easily in a sit/stand, so I've been playing with the idea of really getting my HD good so I can go really fast.

I'd love to see the sonic cone behind my feet...

The competition states you have to have the Pro Tracks mounted on the main lift web.. near center mass....and there is no way you could hear them in that position.

Hey why dont we try a couple jumps at Eloy.. in that crisp desert air and see how fast we can go..

I think I will mount one of my Pro Tracks on the MLW.. the other can stay in my helmet... I think a velcro pouch to really insure it stays in place is in order thouogh. I have seen some people lose them from the mounts on the side of thier helmets.

When you are ready is the best time to start.... but it DOES feel awsome...but we like being nuts

I am the ONLY one at my DZ who is so inclined.. but then again I have natural attributes that help me in this discipline

I'm going to keep working at loing weight (My stomach region). I relize that being soft is like a luggage rack on a car that I want to be streamline.

I just want to get back in the freaking air.. instead of working my way slowly towards my CARPAL TUNNEL RATING of 2500 posts.

If I ever learn to fly on my head I may be dangerous. I have already hit 154 on my belly without really trying!

hey it can be some dangerous stuff Sean.. throwing your arms out when you get over 200 mph can seriously hurt.. I like to come out by going to a track and all that speed translates to some awsum across the ground movement. Just be careful and have good equipment that will handle the speed...ie freefly friendly

Thanks for the advice. Do not worry though. I will not be doing this any time soon. I plan on moving slowly. I want longevity in this sport. I won't be doing anything really radical until I have the approval of those who run my home DZ.

Hey, where did you get your suit? I was in a fastest man competition at SD Houston back in October and hit 303 mph. We used Pro Tracks supplied by L&B and we mounted them on our cheststrap. I wore shorts and a T-Shirt and hit 303 mph the 1st jump and 298 mph the second jump. I enjoy the thrill a lot and would like to get into it in the future.

My "Descente" suit was a $40 deal from when the Latvian Luge team styed at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid. The guy was a coach and since the Sv.Union fall, they could sell anything with ussr/cccp on it (mine says CCCP on the back still) My Bobsled & Skeleton suits were not as slick coated as that ('93).
Here's a spot for oders though.
