Avikus 0 #1 May 10, 2012 Hey Y'all! Season started strong to my drop zone, already about 20 jump in 3 weeks, can't ask for more! Now I was thinking of different exit to do from the Kingair and one keep coming back, a backflip off the kingair. My question is simple, how does one do a backflip out of that little door? do I put my back to the door, chest to knees and just fall backward? Thanks and blue skies!Avikus - Packer and Jumper - Hate landing with the plane! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #2 May 10, 2012 sure - just avoid any type of vigorous jumping upwards with that plane ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avikus 0 #4 May 10, 2012 Ok so had a good suspicion on how to do that! Got my next jump planed out :DAvikus - Packer and Jumper - Hate landing with the plane! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joellercoaster 6 #5 May 10, 2012 Alternatively - Crouch or sit in the door, facing the tail. Step straight out sideways (like people have said, don't jump, the tail is a harsh mistress), and extend your legs but keep your arms by your sides. Arch. The air will catch your legs, flipping you gracefully over as you look back up at the plane, and you'll end up on your belly. Easy as cake, and looks very cool from the plane :)-- "I'll tell you how all skydivers are judged, .

alexafox 0 #6 May 15, 2012 That's one of my favourite exits so far!! Watching that plane fly over your head is just awesome!I refuse to accept a mediocre life... facebook.com/chutefirst chutefirstapparel.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
