skygod7777 0 #5 May 24, 2005 i heard duane hall was trying to do that shit a couple months ago, my buddy vern was telling me that. i'd like to see it, it'd be really impressive for sure. later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianmdrennan 2 #6 May 24, 2005 I've been trying to figure out the logistics of it for a few months too. I figured I wasn't the only one thinking about it, which definitely is true after Jim's post. So now the question becomes...we all know it's coming - who's gonna do it first I wish we had a freaking pond at SDA. This is one thing I won't be learning over the ground Blues, IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianmdrennan 2 #8 May 24, 2005 Quotec'mon ian. you know we would all LOVE to see that.. I know tubling through your risers over the ground is one of your favorite passtimes. I, however, like standing up my landings Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Care to share some of your thoughts Ian? Does it rely on the use of a wake somewhat like a barefoot water skier doing a flip?

GQ_jumper 4 #10 May 26, 2005 I have seen vids of crw guys swinging upside down and hookin their feet on the risers so they are upside down, little bit of momentum by swining your legs might be enough to get all the way over. my question would be isn't it likely that the brake lines could get pinched between the risers not allowing the pilot to flare. or is the pilot planning on dropping the toggles and going straight to rearsHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

I've seen that done as well, it just seems a helluva lot easier to swing in your harness and use momentum to flip upside down at a couple thousand feet than it is to do in the seconds it takes to fly across a pond. Hence the reason i thought they might rely on the momentum gained when they hit the water. Think about what happens when pilots fuck up on the pond, i've seen more than a few accidental flips through the risers.

Does it rely on the use of a wake somewhat like a barefoot water skier doing a flip I think Jim and the boy's are far further ahead in the figuring out process than I am. I'd try and use momentum to help me around though It's gonna be cool to see what comes out of this event. Wish I could make it...nuts....

marks 0 #13 May 26, 2005 well.. it depends on what you call a "backflip" is that when your legs go up in front of you and through the risers or behind you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianmdrennan 2 #15 May 26, 2005 Quotewell.. it depends on what you call a "backflip" is that when your legs go up in front of you and through the risers or behind you? Personally I was thinking more of a front flip. Back flip would be really 'interesting' Performance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GQ_jumper 4 #16 May 26, 2005 i'm not too sure the momentum of hitting the water would help with a back flip, front flip yes, couple swoops come to mind where i've seen beautiful "front flips" through the risers. so if that's whats going to happen then anytime someone slams into the water and flip through their lines from now on they can claim it was a freestyle move as long as they make it out of the water rightHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

davelepka 4 #17 May 26, 2005 Really? My first thought was back flip. Isn't a really tweaked out lazyboy 1/4 of the way to a back flip? If you could get some rotational momentum going by laying back kinda quick, combined with a little push off the water, I would guess you could use your abs to pull your legs up and over. Please note I said I would guess. As for a front flip, or bouncing off the water, I would be really surprised if the idea was to impact the water hard enough to bounce your self through your lines. It would seem like it's too fine a line between just hard enough, and too hard (ouch). Although I was really surprised the first time I saw Blindman....
