jumpinfarmer 0 #27 November 6, 2004 I've never had the urge to jump a round however, I did want to do static line before I made my tandem. I still want to try it someday. Probably for the same reason you want to. Low jumps don't bother me I have several hop-n-pops and find them to be fun. I kind of feal like I missed out by not getting into this back when most students learned on static line using rounds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peckerhead 0 #29 November 6, 2004 At 3000 feet going 120 mph you are doing about 1000feet every 5-6 seconds so you have about 15-18 seconds untill impact. If you do a hop and pop at 2000 feet it will take you 10-12 seconds to fall your first 1000 ft. After that it will take about 5-6 seconds untill impact. So either way you have about 15-18 seconds untill IMPACT! A hop and pop at 2000 feet has just as much time as a skydiver in freefall doing 120 at 3000ft. untill impact. Don't they teach you turbine babies the basics anymore? It does not matter your exit altitude, the last 2000 feet treats you the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
