rapper4mpi 0 #6 April 8, 2002 SST stands for "Super Swooper Tandem" When they moved from the belly mount to both parachutes mounted in "tendem" on the jumpers back. Pretty lame name, but this is the truth!-Rap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

councilman24 37 #10 April 8, 2002 Yep, Super Swooper Tandem. I have one of the prototype SST's given to the World Team in 1975 (I think). Bought from the original owner. At it gave me a 1400' reserve total, (pulled at 1700'). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,989 #14 April 9, 2002 >I think the "joke" is "Struggle, Struggle, Thump" in reference to trying to pull the reserve ripcord.I believe the old "struggle, struggle, thud" moniker came around after some problems with the racer's first pullout system. The pud often came loose and/or was difficult to pull, hence the name.-bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
