Jonathan Tagle - distance record video
Maxim replied to Kolla's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
long jumpers always land on there arse for a reason gives them more distance. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it. -

The most cost effective places to jump.
Maxim replied to Trae's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
dont know where in australia you live.. but i only pay $30 AUS for 10grand at the skydiving club near me.. they fly a cessna and a nomad to 14,000 for $34 if they can get enough people which isnt often these days =( but hopefully that will change once summer comes. and at the more commercial dropzone here. $32 bucks for jumps to 14,000feet if you buy them in bulks of 10. and thats outta a Turbine XL750 i think it is $34 a jump for single tickets.

Why do you say this. i rely on being able to do this everytime i do a tracking dive. everytime i have relyed on this for tracking purposes i have ended up a long way from everyone else. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.

i dislocated my shoulder on AFF6 i think it was. on exit i threw my arms back into a hard arch and pop my shoulder went just from that.. I had never had any past shoulder injuries and always been fit and healthy. it can surely happen to people without shoulder problems Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.

You know whats the worst. staying up 3 days and working in a slaughter house.. man i was in the offel room bagging up hearts, lungs, livers, kindneys. and the halluciation started kicking in those freak you out when your in a place cows and sheep are getting killed.

I used to have that happen to me pretty much 1 in 3 jumps. never have any pain or anything out.. just the snot explosion as i call it. i try to make sure i blow my nose good and proper before a jumping day. still happens sometimes but not as often. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.

i think the way the rules go in my country. for highly populated area's its hard but for rural area's its easy. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.

You seem to know a bit about these 2 designs. I personally thought Bias was the only correct way to make a pilotchute. Care to enlighten me on the designs. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.

Yeah that was the general reason for the thread. for people to write what types of PC's they use. and what situations and height they use them in. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.

Heya all, Been interesting some of the comments i seen on the sizes of pilot chutes people use these days seems to differ alot between people. Please write what pilot chutes you own (48, 46, 42, 40, 38, 36, 32, 30) and what heights you use them and what size your canopy is. Thanks hopefully we can get some good info outta this thread.

One thing iv always wondered. most building jumps i see is always off the side of a building. where anything over 90degree's offheading would start to make you going in the direction of the building.. Do many people lauch off the corner of a building.. it would seem to me like it would give you more offheading leway. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.

hehe. no need to apologize. the only thing i was trying to get across is keep an open mind. i would neither say iam a toggle guy or riser guy. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.
-
you took my post out of context and quoted everything but the bit i wrote about stiffy toggles. there is a big different missing toggles that lay nearly flat and stiffy toggly who present themself open to the user. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.
-
Even the best can screw up or just plain get unlucky. but iam fairly sure he was not using stiffy toggles that also add's a factor. i think its pretty bad logic to base one video on you choice in toggles vs risers. im sure you could dig up video of someone using risers in the same instance and fucking up. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.
-
Yeah what i ment is.. i dont think there would ever be much force on the bridle for it to become a problem if it even could be one. hitting the edge to fuck up your break cord there would have to be a bit of loading on the bridle. but your canopy should already be extracted before that loading is high enough to come into play. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.
-
I think the kind of jump has some contributing factor also. very low jump using risers could plow you into ground. i guess also on a very low jump you could also just use risers to back your canopy up till you hit the ground. /shrug Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.
-
Wouldnt it be best to use shallow brake settings on this. As the chances off an offheading are down considerably seeing you are static lining it. less surge when you pop brakes. how is the landing area? i dont think your shockloading concerns would really present a problem the force needed to open you container is very small. and all tension should be off it by the time that edge comes into play. im just a beginner though. i wouldnt really listen to me or my advice =) Life is Great.

Not sure in relation to the nose.. but i know on ultra low stuff its better to lauch upright as you get less pendulem effect on opening. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.

Pretty sure APF (Australian Parachute Federation) is 200 jumps. to jump with AFF/Tandems. and 100 jumps to jump camera. dont quote me though. Life is Great. Even Greater what we do with it.
