What's your 270 set up

[Sadcat 0]

I jump a velo 103 at 2.15:1 and my set up for the 270 is 750 ft. I'm doing a moderate slow turn. What's yours?

Deep brakes, almost to stall. Then let the brakes up and listen, when the recovery is at its fastest point slow start to turn, carry it through slowly almost to 180, then with all the strength I have finish the last 90.

This style starts with very little riser pressure, so you have to be carefull not to put too much input in and turn fast. Then end of it has a lot of riser pressure, it takes a lot of strength to finish the turn while maintaining the dive. I dont use any harness. The key to my style is to not turn too fast.

Rdutch, I use in the first 180 degrees risers and harness, but for the last 90 degrees I only use harness because the risers are far away heavy. At what altitude do you start your turn?

Depends, in Florida about 820ft, In Indianna 870 at Colorado 920, in Perris 890. Thats just what I set my neptune at, I variate a little here and there based on wids ect.

Everyone has a turn style that they prefer and they all work, my style seems to give me a lot of power comnig out of the turn for long distance runs. It definitely is a high strength turn where Im giving it everything I have for the final 90* of the turn. im sure that you could use harness to help there but Im more used to just pulling on my risers.

For my last 90 I tend to use my entire upper body bending at the waist hanging on my 24's

That works for me
