christopherm 0 #4 March 20, 2002 It was on one of my first hop n' pops during static line progression. So I pulled at 4000' and cutaway probably inbetween 2500 and 3000'.-So, how hard is the ground?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spy38W 0 #5 March 20, 2002 Thanks for the vid, looks much more dramatic than mine was. I wish somebody had gotten mine on video. Out of curiosity, what size reserve did you have (looks like a Tempo?) and how was it loaded?--I think I'm an inch shorter from that opening Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christopherm 0 #6 March 20, 2002 It was a Manta 280' for a main and I don't remember the type of reserve but I think it was the same size, about. -So, how hard is the ground?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christopherm 0 #8 March 20, 2002 Oh, sorry people. I cut the whole canopy ride out of the digitized video to cut down the file size. I didn't really land that fast. -So, how hard is the ground?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
