YOUR LONGEST SWOOP! Using 5' gates!

Recommended Posts

What is your longest swoop using 5' gates. ok most people dont' have 5' gates at their dz but assuming you pass your toes through the gates how far did you go.

My self it was 575' on a 5'gate and on a 20' gate on the same jump was 775'.

It was 30mph downwind of course.

I have seen Wendy go 576' on 5 foot gates and also 776' on 20 foot gates.



hmmm in both cases she did exactly one foot more than the original poster?

Well I saw this one chick at this one dz this one time do 577' on 5 foot gates and 777' on 20 ft gates. And she didn't just stand them up. She did it with a margarita in one hand while wearing horse blinders and singing "Someone left the cake out in the rain.";):P;)

I've been busy doing payroll this morning and haven't had the chance to jump yet. But I'm almost done (hmm... maybe I should get off dz.com and finish) and then I'll go try to top it.;)

(You actually would have been proud of me yesterday - my consistency is getting... well, more consistent):)

My longest was 12miles. Of course it was downwind with 13,000 foot gates.
