turns

Recommended Posts

so I noticed this last weekend that the order for my turns since I moed up to normal (21") risers from 18" risers is:

braked approach
reach up for loops
harness
ease in risers for turn
ease out and finish with harness
surf surf surf surf surf

the issues I was having with riser pressure was due to the fact that if I started the turn with risers, I lost my range/ability to use harness due to lifting away from leg straps in a huge way...

so to all those that were talking abotu hard crossfire riser pressure...try that on for size (try it high first, thats how I figured it out)

Cheers

if you like using harness for turns,

after deployment, stick your hands in the front risers and pull your body up. after you have taken all the weight you can out of the leg strap's, lift you kness to your chest and wiggle your legstraps down your leg a bit. this will give you a little more range in the harness turns.

if you have a butt bungie for sit flying, and this gets in the way, make a longer bungie.

you will get alot more range with your harness when your leg strap is further down your leg, then you just lift one leg and push down on the other while at the same time hangin slightly from the front riser.
