Marisan 0 #51 December 14, 2011 Quote Quote Quote Low gets re-defined if you ever exit under 2k. Twardo would be one of the guys that's been there, done that. I've done it a time or two, but I was hooked up to the plane. Getting out at or below 2K is a different animal than going through there at terminal. An ole buddy & I did some accuracy at a small DZ this summer, we'd exit at about 2 and pull...the aircraft continued on up. The n00bs were a bit wary...even when I showed 'em I'm open 150' below the plane. 1650' on a rope and rings Strato Star for a demo into a major airshow.

popsjumper 2 #52 December 14, 2011 Jump mastered an entire Otter load...23 jumpers...on a bail-out. First ones out at 1700, last ones out at 1900. 21 mains, two reserve rides. First jump - 2600 static line.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

jackwallace 3 #53 December 14, 2011 Is getting out of a 10E with one dead engine at 700" considered pulling low? What if you do a 3 man?U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler. scr 316 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marisan 0 #55 December 14, 2011 Did a sub $1.00 load in Australia. First guy got out at 1300', 3rd at 1700' and last at 1300'. Jumper cost was $0.95 each. And I wasn't on the load but I manifested it and charged it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texascrw 0 #56 December 15, 2011 Well, you topped mine. Got out of a J-3 Cub at 900, all the pilot could get, and took a delay. Had to flare with rears, no time to get toggles out. Wouldn't try that with todays canopies. Kicked off dz for two weeks. And no, I am not advocating doing this now. Just came back to the sport this year, and things have really changed. What we used to think of as normal opening altitude, 2000-2500, is cause for panic now. Taking some getting used to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonstark 8 #57 December 15, 2011 Quote5,000' is not "low". You have to be under 2,000' to be low. That's the official definition. (In his Crocodile Dundee accent) LOW?! That isn't low. I'll show you low. I've got stories too but seein' as the first liar doesn't stand a chance of not being outdone I won't bother. jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigbey 0 #58 December 15, 2011 Sorry VB. Wasn't really directed at you, but you were involved in the pissing match earlier in this thread, so I thought I'd offer some help.

wmw999 2,120 #59 December 15, 2011 This is pretty low. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krip 2 #70 December 16, 2011 Quote Quote Pulled low for the first time this past weekend. Deploying into your final is one way to get your S&TA's attention. "Almost bact in the day" I guess the S&TA was called the "CSO: He autographed my log book with the following statement after i just made the remark (LOW OPENING) in my log book for the jump. "Verified CSO 1969 Lets see you beat this 150 ft" Someone changed the delay sec from 30 sec to 44 sec exit altitude 7200' My friend signed it off as "R H Low pull Massey LP-2". Jump # 159 on 30 Jan 71 in KS, first jump of the day. Had to repack outside in the sun for the next jump.Now that I've taken the effort to look up the date Later with New years day on Jan 1, Jan 30 is my new years & B day.Sorry no pics just a old fart paper log book.R.One Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rwieder 0 #71 December 16, 2011 When I was a pup jumper at XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX I met most intriging gentleman. He was great! Everybody wanted on his loads, even me but I wasn't allowed with just an A license. He chunked a 19 way RW jump, Jesus, it took them forever to GTFO the Otter. I was last out. Needless to say the PIC still had the green light on and wasn't responding to my L/R, etc...Well I never made it back to the DZ. I picked my out and took it, save for the mud, it wasn't half bad. Anyways, this RW organizer was Krazy, I don't mean Krazy, a funny type of Krazy, everyone liked him. In all of the loads I've seen him organize, he pulled at 1K quite often. No one else, (Thank God) ever challenged him. He flew a BatWing, great canopy! Another really der friend of mine, Shane Richertz & I went out on a 2 way head down jump, it was great!! I pulled at roughly 2200 AGL, and was in the saddle by 1500 AGL. That little SOAB fell right past me, I honestly thought he was going to bounce, but that Sabre1, 135^2 saved his ass, maybe a 3 second canopy ride. Shane is gone now, (Went in on double fronts at about 100-200 AGL, I was supposed to be there that day, and I'm glad I wasn't) I miss him, and the other gentleman, and his wife as well.

Krip 2 #73 December 16, 2011 Hi squeak Did you know Ruckett before he relocated down under.? Has he slowed down a little after he moved to aussie land? Dave's a all around outstanding dude: jumper, organizer , party animal, funny guy etc. Just not the person I would choose to be a mentor. Dave might have started off with nine lives but he's used up a couple that I know of. Due to a couple of mid airs he expeienced due to off heading openings. If dave's sucking it down it might be to get some clear air for opening. I know thats whats tracking for, but that's just dave. Getting out last after a big way is a sucker bet. Pull high or walk forever. At a lot of DZ's, and boogies a go around is a urban legend for a long spot. It's not "efficent". R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
