My guess is that your biggest problem will be the yoke (too narrow) and main lift web (too short). I think its more reasonable to find a harness that fits well.

Ow. This one hurts... Bye friend. I am typing and erasing. In my silence there is mourning. Us _______________________ aerialkinetics.com -
Expanding a bit on this... As Sully pointed out, launch is extremely important. IMO, it defines the initial speed and axis of the rotation. However, as airspeed increases, control increases. For example a split second decision to do a second rotation or remain flat after the first flip can be made after the launch, with only 1 second into freefall. We've all seen this done (intentionally or not) by base jumpers. And we've all had a sloppy aerial or two, but better to make those split second decisions on a long delay rather than a wee one! Just because its do-able doesn't mean its recommended. Have a plan and jump the plan. If you can't do this confidently off an object, hit the gymnastics pit until you're comfortable.

Geoff Peggs Memorial Boogie (Kansas Boogie)
brits17 replied to kansasskydiver's topic in Events & Places to Jump
Hey ya'll, Wish I could have been there, unfortunately it was too late of notice and too expensive for me to get out there. I settled for making some jumps at our home boogie. I thought about you guys (and Geoff as always). I'm glad it went well and everyone stayed safe -
Actually if it requires surgery, its torn. I've had 2 surgeries on my right shoulder. One arthroscopic and the second open. I'm in my 4th month of recovery from the open surgery and its going very very well. Much better than my first BECAUSE I went to PT, did exactly what my surgeon prescribed and we're both hard-set on getting back in the air asap. I do not regret any of it, the pain was there but manageable. To be honest the arthroscopic surgery was more painful than the open invasive. Weird... oh well, I'm happy now looking forward to a full recovery.

What he said. When I showed a whuffo friend a few links on basewiki, it totally sparked his interest to research it hard-core before doing it. He's now starting to skydive with following proper 'procedures' for 'getting into base.' Your site was a help, not a hindrance. Just fyi. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com
