npgraphicdesign 2 #1 May 25, 2009 No that's not a video game shortcut. Yep, that was one of my landings on a Triathlon 190 this weekend at Jumptown. The only part of me that got hurt was my pride... Damn those Triathlons are tricky, especially if you've only had 4 jumps with one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDutton 0 #3 May 25, 2009 Ahhh! Deja Vu! Reminds me of a typical landing in the '70s under a 28' cheapo in Littleton, Colorado (5000' above sea level). Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

npgraphicdesign 2 #5 May 25, 2009 Quote If you insert a face-plant right before the first tumble send me a check. I patented that landing Well let's see....the 190 isn't new. I jumped a 190 Sabre2 at Elsinore, but totally different animal. The 7c is new..and i just bought use rig that has a 210 Tri, so this was good practice. The openings? I was whipped around pretty badly on 2 of 4 jumps, but that might have been my body position as well. I only have 40 jumps...need some experience to put it down 'anywhere' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh the beer was for another jump, when I got fixated on other landing skydivers and followed them down, only to realize that they were tandem video guys landing in the tandem area. So I had to find another spot to land, because there's no way I could've made it back. Landing in a small strip of land just behind the parking lot. I guess you really CAN put down a Triathlon anywhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
