rapper4mpi 0 #1 April 16, 2002 You've gotta see this! Mike Swanson shooting accuracy under an airlocked crossbraced, Big Air Sportz yet to be named canopy. Mike Came in third at the Venezualen swoop meet.-Raphttp://www.dropzone.com/files/users/forums/12-135480-swoopseq.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #3 April 16, 2002 Wow, thats just a little different from the 'classical' accuracy approach....Kids, please do not try this at home..Hmm the canopy with no name eh? Kinda reminds me of spaghetti westerns....So this lone swooper drifts into town, kinda mean, kinda lean, kinda mysterious...."I don't think its very funny you laughing at my mule...."

TEB6363 0 #4 April 16, 2002 So how the hell did he do the landing?? It looks like he turned and stalled right over the spot at about 4 feet!:::OK, Canopy is Open, No Traffic Around, .. Why are these "Extra" Lines Draping Down??, Damn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #6 April 16, 2002 Quote So how the hell did he do the landing??I believe that is accuracy at the end of a swoop course. What fun would a straight in approach be? "It's all about the BOOBIES!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rapper4mpi 0 #7 April 16, 2002 Yeah, the canopy was (I believe) under 100 sq. ft. And yes I also beleive that it was accuracy at the end of a long swoop. At this point he was probably flying pretty slow after popping up. Still an incredible picture!-Rap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #8 April 16, 2002 Looks like he was in a pretty radical carve... then turned it almost 180 in place... anyone out there actually see this live that would care to describe iwhat actually happened?http://www.aerialfusion.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axe96bam 0 #9 April 16, 2002 Those guys who participate are just that good. I would not do anything like this on my sub 100 sq. ft. canopy. Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #11 April 16, 2002 Scared? If I was jumping a sub-100ft canopy right now I would probably shit myself, but then again "I only have 115 jumps, what do I know..."
