konradptr 0 #1 February 5, 2003 I bought Vladiball, but wanted to know how hard it is to make a tennis-ball skyball. I would assume it takes a tennis-ball, some number 9 lead shot, and a pull-up cord... The questions are how to open up the tennis-ball (small slit, little hole from a drill, etc,), how much lead, total weight, etc... Any help would be appreciated...

diveout 0 #3 February 6, 2003 It is very easy to make a skyball, I have a couple that I fly with. i have a recipe that i use for mine but I'm not about to share it here -P.M. me I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're responsible by flying with someone who's got a lot of skyball experience, notifying the pilot and DZo, using proper spotting procedures and so forth. Having said that, If you and your homies are good enough to hang with a skyball, it is a TON of fun don't forget the video! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

konradptr 0 #7 February 10, 2003 I bought a Vladiball about 10 days ago, and we went out to Nevada to a boogie to try it out over the desert. Our Ballmaster has 1800+ freefly jumps, and as soon as he let it go, it wobbled and fell super fast. PM me for video, it really sucks buying a "toy" for $60, following all the directions, buying all the shot, and then losing it from the first jump because it is a bad, unstable design... (At least that is how it seems to me after my experience...) ------------------------------------------ Getting banned isn't that bad...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
