Paraglider rap

It took about 5 attempts to get the setup and execution how we wanted it. We did our Dr. Bills between 2006 and 2008.

we first used climbing harnesses and about 40m of rope, but found that it was too long and the separate harness unnecessary. I built a single hang point into two skydiving rigs and used my rope jumping descent setup to connect the jumpers. The goal was to get two jumpers above a canopy in flight with one hanging 10m below it. my god, that was fun. Acro on a stilletto 150 loaded to 2.5/1 with a center of mass FAR below the CP. we started with a spectre 190, and tried a lot of different wings. ended up that a Stilletto 150 was best aerodynamic balance. the 120 was too small and fast.

Sadly, Alex is no longer with us, and I have been really wanting to improve on this. Soon.



Hell yes. I want to get with Crater Nate to rig something like this up. Seems like it should be up his alley.

That really sucks about your friend. I cant even imagine........

paraglider rap, with what looks like a cutway, into a malfunctioning reserve!

I thought this was going to be 50cent or DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince singing about Paragliding . . .



I was soaring with my homies
Heading over the pass
When a rival crew of pilots
Bust a cap in my ass...
