shermanator 3 #1 August 6, 2007 I'm having fun seeing how fast i can go on my belly. Today, I did a jump with two others, 2 in sit, and myself on belly. we were in proximity the entire dive, i was floating a little bit. Granted, one of the sitflyers floats as it is.. I checked my neptune and was up to 154. but ouch, my back hurt from that arch when i got down!CLICK HERE! new blog posted 9/21/08 CSA #720 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #3 August 6, 2007 Apparantly (I don't have a protrack) I've been able to get to 150 +/- according to people sit flying with me Its fun to be on your belly and watch people sit flying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildfan75 1 #4 August 6, 2007 Even with my new baggy suit, putting my legs out and trying to "dearch" I struggle with the 115-120 range. I'm sure if I jumped in regular clothes and actually arched for once I could get going pretty darn fast. I'm definitely going to have to borrow someones protrack this weekend and give 'er a go. I'll report back but I'm thinking I could get up to at least 150-160. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #5 August 6, 2007 In a tight jumpsuit I have hit 165, in a hard arch. I tend to fall faster but with the right jumpsuits it gives me some really good range. I just wish I could track like the 6'5 guys who weigh 140 pounds."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 24 #6 August 6, 2007 I was doing AFF jumps in the mid to high 140's with a big student. I was far from maxed out.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billeisele 122 #7 August 6, 2007 about 155, our favorite is launching a 3-way off a CASA belly flyer in the middle, head downers on the sides gripping an arm and leg harness, point #2 - release all grips, build three way round docked on hands Point #3 - release the belly flyer, 180 turn to a backin Point #4 - back to the topGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crotalus01 0 #8 August 6, 2007 So far 159 has been my fastest speed on my belly. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearless_chris 1 #9 August 6, 2007 This was on a rodeo so not exactly on my belly. Yes, the opening was "brisk". I had tucked up into basically a cannonball position. By myself I got 159 videoing sitflyers."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

gearless_chris 1 #15 August 7, 2007 Yes it was from the 4 way, or double rodeo, or whatever you'd call it with 2 rodeo's side by side. After we "lost" the other pair."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.

Amazon 7 #19 August 9, 2007 I did a Tandem Video with Barry and Brad the brewmaster for the Lang Creek Brewery at Lost Prairie.... Now these are two fairly big boys I was chasing and my average numb er 1 on the protrack was 148 and Average2 was 143...... I can normally fall pretty fast.. BUT I was in my big white and red RW suit.... and I was basically flying as if I was doing a style set to stay with them and keeoing all that material tucked in.

sagan 0 #20 August 10, 2007 Maybe I'm not reading that pic right but it looks like 160mph at 3000 feet... Isn't that a problem? I for one know I probably wouldn't wanna deploy at that speed. (assuming you'll be pitching out any second there -- after all your at 3000 feet) Just a random thought -- but hell what do i know? Someone wanna comment that knows about that stuff?-Patrick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thepaintballguy 0 #22 August 10, 2007 I hit 129mph on my last jump. I used to fall at 102Mph though when I was first starting my AFF training! My instructors didn't like it that much as you can imagine. JoshQ: Why would someone ever want to jump from a perfectly good airplane? A: Why Not?

gearless_chris 1 #23 August 11, 2007 That's why I psycho pack, it opens slow. Well maybe not slow when I pull at 160MPH, but livable. Neptune said I pulled at 2500 so I was probably still doing 150 or so when I pulled."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.
