flocking fallrate

Recommended Posts

o.k. so I'm a fat fuck and i admit it. but i got about 50 jumps on the old raptor now. I know I've got a long way to go in getting the max out of it but. getting avg in the high 70's low 80's all the time. without buying a larger suit or loosing a ton of weight. I'm just guessing here but thinking somewhere in the high 50's or low 60's might be all I can ever hope for. is that way out of the range you want for base on a flock? just curious.
i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

I have been flying base a bit more lately and it seems that a comfortable rate for the flock has been low to mid 60s. That is with me in a Ghost at 5'-8", 180#. Knowing your weight and at that fallrate, I bet you would be smokin' fast forward. Sounds like fun.B|

50 donations so far. Give it a try.

Most flocks I've flown in were between 60 and short under 70mph.

Hey, we should found a "freefall gifted guys flock"! In that we could fly the same fallrate with the forward speed we like. ;)
For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.
