norbase 0 #1 February 3, 2007 I always think is good fun to try new thing. a weeks ago i tested out something new from a bridge..the height off this bridge is 108feet..to low for a PCA and TARD, so i came up with this idea and tried it out in practice, here it is: i took of my pilot and bridle, then i took the bridlepoint(canopy) and attached to the bridge(under) with a brake cord,and i also use a rubberband attached on each side of the canopy, to stabilized it...then rolled over and landed safe on the ground...there was some climbing outside the bridge to attaching the brakecord and rubberband..but no big deal..yesterday i jump it again, but facing the bridge and jump backward.. Has someone here tried this method before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
980 0 #2 February 3, 2007 that is interesting sounds like a short-leashed dirty-high bag, but without the stashbag a dirty-high bag is a variation of the ho-bag The Ho-bag -you pack the canopy for a smart TARD -gear up as as for a smart TARD -tie the stashbag to the object SECURELY -do a front flip exit while holding the stashbag containing the canopy in front of you -let the stashbag get pulled out of your hands when the ties to the object tension -unstow your brakes and fly, bat-ass, fly! The Dirty-High bag -a Ho-bag, but with the canopy tied to the stashbag with a single piece of breakcord (not a loop) at the bridle attachment point There's a clip on skydivingmovies.com called something like SOBASE teaser that has a ho-bag or dirty-high bag on it. It also has a low-bag, which is a slider-up ho-bag. I would love to see some pics and/or video of your jump if possible. I am particularly curious about how you managed your lines during this whole deal. How far to the side did you attach the rubber bands? Even though the dirty-high bag opened in very little altitude (therefore the name), I'm not sure I would try it as low as 108ft, but there are definite similarities between it and your new jump. What are you calling the new jump? cya sam PS - in case you are a sane basejumper wondering why anyone would even bother doing a ho-bag in the first place, the answer is that I was too lazy to pack and it seemed too windy to be having my canopy flap around unpacked...

I would love to see some pics and/or video of your jump if possible. I dont use camera myself, but there was a guy who filmed the first jump..i don`t know this guy, but if i get in touch with this bloke i will ask him for a copy.. I am particularly curious about how you managed your lines during this whole deal. I`m jumping a Troll285 so i have plenty of lines, but there was no big deal..i only push it to the side and jump of How far to the side did you attach the rubber bands? I attached a rubberband to each endcells(topskin), that was the trickiest part of the hole jump..i needed to climb outside of the bridge..

TomAiello 25 #4 February 4, 2007 Why did you roll it over? A long time ago, I did a similar jump, but with the canopy more spread out (I used clothes pins to attach it to a handrail behind me), and just launching flat and stable (well, more of a stand and stable). I was able to land (no flare, just PLF into some foam mats) without injury about 50 feet below the exit point.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norbase 0 #6 February 4, 2007 QuoteWhy did you roll it over? Why?? because it`s fun..beside of that..it gives me space to not entangle me to the lines.. I`m sure there are more reason.. 1 more..a person here told me i gonna die if i do a rollover at this height, guess what.. i didn`t..and the same person told me he wanna laught his ass of if i die, guess who`s laughting know?

I only have a hotmail adress, so i can`t see this movies.. I have try to get in touch with this guy who filmed my first jump on this bridge..but i haven`t managed to contacted him yet..
