clint 1 #1 December 7, 2003 What is your longest swoop using 5' gates. ok most people dont' have 5' gates at their dz but assuming you pass your toes through the gates how far did you go. My self it was 575' on a 5'gate and on a 20' gate on the same jump was 775'. It was 30mph downwind of course.Clint MacBeth Skydive Moab 435 259 JUMP M.O.A.B.

sdgregory 0 #4 December 7, 2003 QuoteI have seen Wendy go 576' on 5 foot gates and also 776' on 20 foot gates. hmmm in both cases she did exactly one foot more than the original poster? Well I saw this one chick at this one dz this one time do 577' on 5 foot gates and 777' on 20 ft gates. And she didn't just stand them up. She did it with a margarita in one hand while wearing horse blinders and singing "Someone left the cake out in the rain." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bendywendy 0 #9 December 8, 2003 I've been busy doing payroll this morning and haven't had the chance to jump yet. But I'm almost done (hmm... maybe I should get off dz.com and finish) and then I'll go try to top it. (You actually would have been proud of me yesterday - my consistency is getting... well, more consistent) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites cliffharris 0 #10 December 8, 2003 well get some video pronto. we've been trying to see the famed 400 footer for years around here. what speed do you estimate? 100?
