http://youtu.be/ASdhqZrb99k Few on here and from wat i can see u can pull at 20feet high with a leg strap pc Haha FTMC
-
We all new wat i meant lol and yes they were common leg watever there called i have old containers i use for ground launching with them vector2 and i had a talon with one FTMC
-
Maybe they seen swayzey in point break use one so thought they would be equally as awesome lol FTMC
-
no one uses pullouts anymore well hardly anyone i havent even seen one in real life Pullouts, leg strap boc and spring main pcs are gone forever its time to let go ppl lol FTMC
-
Base jumpers use throwout......skydivers can use whatever they want they have a reserve rsl aad's skyhooks etc it doesn't really matter....if your life is on the line on that one parachute ...then throw out is how it is FTMC
-
Unrelated but stilletos are awesome ground launching canopies plus u can always get them cheap FTMC
-
Altimaster galaxy is the way to go FTMC
-
Its ok to drop the handles as long as no one finds out lol FTMC
-
Seems like a good idea to...Also when we get taught we locate and grab both handles....which makes more sense in a real cutaway unlike people with an rsl only grabing the cutaway pulling it and relying on there rsl FTMC
-
Lol i will.... and has anyone ever thought or tried something like hanging a rig over a foam pit or something like that for people to practise cutaways? FTMC
-
Coz the refresh rate on them watches suck...its more about controlling the tow then anything to do with the cutaway if u go to high the rope will get to a severe angle and start loading everything up badly FTMC
-
My first cutaway 500ft terrible body position to back it up lol http://youtu.be/7vam4Qu-P04 Ps. I know this isn't the smartest thing to do.. FTMC

And should say dont be a fuckwit like me and try walk and do shit before u should it will have very negative effects and be worse in the long run FTMC
-
Every injuries different i broke both my legs and was flat out standing up 4months later.... 7 months later i could walk half normal still with great deal of pain...3 years later and it still hurts lol but im back to normal FTMC
-
Look it up....and mentioning one death with a MPAAD aad to try make the m2 look bad should be irrelevant is all im saying 2 different units.....i dont really care buy what u want i dont get a commission from these units sold but a low price aad might make the market better for all of us when they try and compete FTMC
-
Just so everyone that doesnt already know this even the cypress has killed alot of ppl.......regardless of units made etc its still alot of ppl FTMC
-
Wasnt a mars m2 but.....and im pretty sure even cypress had problems in there early days Is there any bad reports etc about the mars m2 that anyone knows of? FTMC
-
I got an m2 and im happy with it...i was going to go with the vigil but then found out they have to be sent overseas just to get the battery done...plus the m2 just goes for the 15 years no battery changes etc and only needs to be sent away if an error message comes up......but yeh only time will tell FTMC
-
I would rather keep the plastic mounts that way if anything bad happens like risers wrapping it etc it will or should just break off thats why I dont like the alloy mounts that can be screwed on there not going to break...also there has been ppl killed base jumping by getting a pilot chute bridle wrapped around there gopro...maybe a cutaway system would have prevented it...but also a weaker mount may of snapped with the force of a base pilot chute FTMC
-
Ive got a 96 atom 34-00 not sure if its the same type I only got it for ground launching etc but mine would only fit smaller canopies FTMC
-
So you can catch thermals FTMC
-
So from what I could figure out some reverse riser designs are alot better then others...I dont use reverse risers but I have a set of atom risers (parachutes de france) I use for ground launching...does anyone know if these type are anygood? There must be alot of them out there as the atoms etc..use them FTMC
