Brains 2 #2 June 3, 2005 Try HERE Other than the handle/cutaway system. I could make you one. Doesn't Phree have one? Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to see one up close to figure out how to make the hoop, and handle etc. Do you want a sit tube or hd tube or one that could be used for both?

Ncrowe 0 #6 June 5, 2005 I've got a silly question.....what does one do with a tube when its time to open? "Don't Mess Around With the Guy in Shades- Oh No!!! " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanab 0 #7 June 5, 2005 if its a hand held sit tube, you keep it in your left hand stretched out as far as possible, deploy as normal.... as soon as the canopy has you upright, throw your left hand back and down to get the tube out of the way then hook it on your foot for canopy flight and kick it off about 20 feet from the ground and land as normal. edited for speling mistakes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgladish 0 #12 June 16, 2005 When I did my first(upright) tube jump I was told " get it as far away from you as you can, then deploy". I found out the hard way to hold it to the side not in front as the tube can wrap itself up in a sniveling canopy. Not a big deal unless you get line twists but even then just let go! Head down tubes being attached to the feet are different. Make sure you have a cutaway handle in an accessable spot ( belt line). The head down tube is behind you as your deploying but a spining canopy or line twists can wrap it up. Don't wait too long to ditch it in a bad situation, Have funn!!!!!!
