Faber 0 #4 May 13, 2003 Quote I would love to try the paragliding BASE jump actualy it wouldnt be a BASE but it sure would be fun Stay safe Stefan Faber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy2 0 #5 May 13, 2003 righto, I guess thatd be somewhere in the grey area along with balloon jumps, unhooking from a tandem, etc etc... --------------------------------------------- let my inspiration flow, in token rhyme suggesting rhythm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faber 0 #6 May 13, 2003 but it counts as a jumpand who care if its a BASe or not as long as we have funThats the reason we do it rigth(exept some who just start it just to get a divorce,sorry Z#####,i couldnt resist) Stay safe Stefan Faber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry81 10 #7 May 13, 2003 How about the Mr Bill/McConkey exit off a bridge with the top guy deploying for the lower as he falls off? That's gotta be the craziest thing I've seen on video, skydiving and base alike. Or is this a relatively safe and common practice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddyS 0 #8 May 14, 2003 I think the shot of a guy PCA-ing another as his canopy opens is a straight 2 way - not a Mr Bill/McConkey combo. They just run together on the video?.... BASE 802 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerry81 10 #9 May 14, 2003 Damn, you're right...it's two separate wild stunts, not a single insane one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddyS 0 #10 May 14, 2003 So Mr Bill McConkey PCA is the next challenge?!Can't wait for that footage..... BASE 802 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauril 0 #11 May 16, 2003 Just watched the vid again, and I have to say it got some serious footage! But have you noticed the monkeyflip scene from the bridge ? (guess you have) I tought it was done with a base canopy, but it's actually done with a paraglider...or to me it seems like a paraglider.. Have you noticed ?

jerry81 10 #13 May 16, 2003 Check out the link in this post- the first video looks like that jump in Soulflyers shot from another angle. [edited to add]I envy you Faber...drunk in the middle of the day, you carefree bastard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddyS 0 #14 May 16, 2003 Yeah, the harness gave it away for me not the canopy. I understand that McConkeys originated on a paraglider . BASE 802 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauril 0 #15 May 16, 2003 It's like it yeah, but can't be it, because in the soul flyers vid there's a cameraman jumping in front of him...but it is a paraglider in the soul flyers vid then... edit--> yeah, the harness was the final tought about it, but first it was the longer lines, and when it's opening it seems to have a big hole in the center, but when looked closely, it's a very very elliptical canopy...

EddyS 0 #20 May 21, 2003 When a few of us bought Bullet-cams from www.rfconcepts.co.uk we had a load of ideas of how to remote them at the exit point or beneath as well as the options for mounting on the body or within the canopy. They come with a 2m cable, but you can get a lead of over 20m (which I did). I even considered attaching it to the bottom skin of my canopy and packing it, to get the opening shot from there looking down! I haven't yet tried this.....I guess the McConkey angle form the canopy back at the jumper might be interesting and less of a rigging issue... but a McConkey is way down the line for me.

DexterBase 0 #21 May 21, 2003 I think it would work better to attach it to one of the lines. This is a pretty scary idea, but sounds cool enough to try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faber 0 #22 May 21, 2003 i guees it would work on a mcconkey jumpthere the video would be awsome too..but im not at that level at all.. he he Stay safe Stefan Faber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are also photos of Loic doing this with a Ninja canopy, which is a 21 cell cross braced canopy my Parachute de France. I think it was in Para Mag a while back so it may be online in their archive section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
