slotperfect 7 #3 July 9, 2004 Nice. I'm not sure what the "record" is, but you guys have a candidate! I'd be interested to gear the mechanics of it . . . how you set it up, experience levels of the participants, etc. And of course a pic would be nice!Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #4 July 9, 2004 We did a 6 way at my DZ with me as pax when I broke my arm. It was so good to be back in the sky and tons of fun. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #5 July 9, 2004 I have seen a photo, actually a matted lithograph, of the German Army Parachute Team doing a ten-way (technically 20-way) with all tandems. I have seen photos of the same guys in a big round all wearing roller skates. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #6 July 9, 2004 I was just going to say, it's not *really* tandem RW unless all participants are doing tandems. Otherwise it's RW with a tandem, all you have to do is dock on the base.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Deuce 1 #7 July 9, 2004 Clear that up, Schwede, you talking 18 drogues? Yikes. We routinely have our more experienced RW folks come out with a freind who is attached tandem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 4 #8 July 9, 2004 It is 35, we did it at a "Jump for the Cause" for spinal cord research at Perris. The tandem passenger is a paraplegic, has about 150 jumps and holds a "C" lic. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #9 July 9, 2004 It's cool, but I say a 3 tandem 6 way that *might* have happened is a bigger tandem record. Of course any video or pictures were accidentally, uh....lost. Yeah that's it.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #13 July 11, 2004 Show me by doing a bigger way out of the Herc, boyo. See you in a couple weeks with mondo camera gear. Let's take some pictures!

It's 200 pounds of person strapped to your front you don't know, 50 pounds of gear on your back that you didn't pack, 6 handles that have to be pulled in exactly the right order, and the whole events starts off with a pilot chute in tow.
