AggieDave 6 #1 March 7, 2004 Its stylish and it feels good. Especially on a sunset clear and pull from alititude, and you nail a phat swoop after a big carve. Oh god its like a drug.Especially since it takes so long and takes so many jumps to get where you can do it reasonably well and very safe.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

freeflir29 0 #2 March 7, 2004 Watch my video!!! I put a couple landings on the Mardi Gras vid. No long swoops cause my canopy is big, the air was thick, and the wind 15+. BUT.....the turn in is still the POOP. Especially watch that last landing on the video. I came back cross wind from Well over a half mile out. Did a SERIOUSLY flat turn at 500 Ft so I could have some alti to turn with. It was so COOL. I started with pretty much NO airspeed so when I pulled the riser down I just DROPPED straight down until I started picking up speed! That was some COOL shit!!!!!!

AggieDave 6 #8 March 8, 2004 I don't know. I hadn't really heard that until Rich Fisher (rjf98) said it to me last weekend. I thought it was pretty funny and true.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said that to Diablopilot after he showed me a very nice picture and we began discussing swooping techniques and viola... new sigline.
