funjumpz 0 #1 January 11, 2005 I have been doing some new skydives with friends. It's called a fifty fifty! Whatever altitude you jump at...say 14,000, you cut that in half and pull by that altitude. In other words, jumping from 14,000, you would break off at 8,000 and pull by 7,000. This allows more airtime. You get a nice exit, good freefall, and a longer canopy ride. Also allows all the boneheads plenty of time to get out of my way so I can SWOOP! Make sure to tell the pilot and everyone else what you are doing. Blue Skies!!!Be Safe, Have Fun!
