norbase 0 #1 January 25, 2007 I have done a couple of conky`s from a 65meter bridge, it seems too me like i have "all the time in world" when i have turn my canopy and landing it.. My question is: is it doable from from a 35 meters(115feet) bridge? or is this "on the edge"..i mean, you dont lose much altitude by turning a canopy in that way.. (And yes i am talking about slider off!) Have someone done it before and will share the experience? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SabreDave 0 #2 January 25, 2007 IMHO.... too low. Have witnessed TARDS from this altitude, probably a better choice. 587? Crwper?SabreDave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbase 0 #3 January 25, 2007 Note: i have a big canopy(less altitude drop), and i done a PCA from 128 feet building(4-5sec canopy time)NO SWEAT! My personaly thought is, if you do a TARD you probably increasing the opportunity of OFF heading openings.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

base1072 0 #5 January 25, 2007 the bigger your canopy is the more altitude u loss on opening and smaller canopies have shorter lines so u can flip it faster if u dont already know this stuff u shouldn't be jumping shit that low how many jumps do u have any way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sabre120 to a Troll 285 there will be a different in linelenght...How many jumps i have ? look at my profile....By the way, how many jump do you have?3?

subterminal 0 #7 January 25, 2007 There is a notable difference in line length between a Troll 285 and say a Mojo 240... CJ=) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base1072 0 #8 January 25, 2007 just talked to Shane i was wrong 115 is plenty of altitude go for it. just make sure u get video and several angels some people like to learn the hard way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

base736 0 #10 January 26, 2007 ... And just like that, the conversation never happened. Nothing to see here, folks. WTF? Using my super-duper reverse-engineering skills, I'm going to guess that the original post was about a McConkey from low, low, low? Why delete it when others still might learn from the thread?
