What a surprise though! Mike, the TM, had just pointed down to tell me the spot was long too. Grrrrrrrreat!

Strange. I see in your profile you have a Javelin. I have heard that the left cutaway cable (RSL side) on a Javelin is 1/4 inch longer than the right, to make sure both risers release before the RSL activates, although it looks like you didn't have an RSL on this one. Is this correct? Did your packer say he did anything different? It looks like as you pull you go into a slight left turn. Are you sure it wasn't body position? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites livendive 8 #12 August 8, 2006 Nice video, way to keep the chopped main framed for a couple seconds before flipping belly to earth. It does look like you were kicking the wrong way, but I think most of us have done that. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

It is quite possible that I kicked the wrong way, but I almost had no time to kick. As you see in the full speed version, it happened really fast. I was on my back almost instantly and kicking was just not happening. But the couple of kicks I gave, they may have been wrong. Hey, it happens, right? This one was really unsalvagable from what I could tell. Granted I could have waited longer as I had the altitude to do so, but I just didn't feel like messing with it and I was getting pretty damn dizzy. My only mission was to save my ass one way or the other.

Is this correct? Did your packer say he did anything different? It looks like as you pull you go into a slight left turn. Are you sure it wasn't body position? Good observations. I noticed the same thing, the uneven releasing of the risers. It's a javelin TJN, no RSL. My packer says he did nothing differently at all. There's always a chance that body position could have had something to do with it, or harness shifting, etc., but I honestly don't think so here. It spun up too damn quick, right off my back. Usually if I am off a bit on body position I will have an off-heading opening but that is the extent of it. This was definitely more than that. So it could have been a combination of factors. Keep in mind I was also wearing camera wings. Bottom line is - linetwists on a smaller HP canopy can become a headache quick. To me this was no sweat. I had plenty of altitude and I did what I needed to do to land safely.
