flashvortx 0 #13 May 31, 2011 I made my first chopper jump at Chicks Rock last year and I think it was from about that height. We jumped at the same time so we also had to track in that amount of time. The first 5 seconds or so are the best part of the jump by far, totally worth the money. There's not a ton of time to track away if you're pulling at 3 and jumping with 2 others, but it's good enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
