Icon134 0 #3 June 29, 2005 Hanging from struts... there are some interesting vids of people climbing to the ends of the wings... bombing out in a ball for 3-4000 ft could be fun. I did the unstable exits for a few jumps... but then I found I was having trouble getting out stable and focused on those for a while as well.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

BenediktDE 2 #7 June 29, 2005 I try to translate my signature: Exit from 182: From the wheel a nice back flip and coil up as a ball. That's like on a parish fair - but quicker and without the stupid music.For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Hackb431 0 #8 June 29, 2005 Hmmm a falling cannon ball sounds like fun. Nest tea plunge...is that like belly flying but facing up? If so I did one of those not so long ago. Not intentional but when I was on my back I was stable so I checked alti and stayed there for awhile. It was alot of fun. So I went for an intentional one and screwed that up. But hey I'll just keep trying. Aww you mean I have to go jump again. Darn I know I am upsetHackB A.K.A. "Puppy" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdrejhon 8 #9 June 29, 2005 My favourite exit was a backwards tumble while waving to my tandem first-jumper friend staring at me from the plane. Forward tumbles are a lot of fun too, rolling 2 times in a ball (total 5 seconds) before spreading into an arch, was lots of fun. This was out of a C182 and C206. I did a superman from a Twin Otter as well. Do check with instructor first, you don't wanna strike the tail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kevinwhelan 0 #14 June 29, 2005 206 best exit is climb over the top and jump from the poilets side "be honest with yourself. Why do I want to go smaller? It is not going to make my penis longer." ~Brian Germain, on downsizing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not trying to do "cool guy" moves just spice it up a bit. I saw one guy hang from his toes on the wing for his exit.HackB A.K.A. "Puppy" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jskydiver22 0 #16 June 30, 2005 Pretty sure he wasnt serious and it was pretty irrelevant to this thread...but I have probably 250 of my 330 skydives out of a 182, and ive been doing a pretty cool exit. It might take some practice but ive been going out on the step, facing forward, keep your right hand tucked in and when you leave roll onto your back, leave both arms straight and kind of out to your side and stop there and just watch the plane get smaller. Pretty cool to do, Ive got some good video of those exits. --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travman 6 #17 June 30, 2005 I've done a rodeo from a 182 (this requires a partner). Basically you ride someone out like they are a bull, lots of fun, someone can probably post some pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrogNog 1 #19 June 30, 2005 Do a nice, easy, stable poised exit hop-and-pop. With your eyes closed from poised to canopy inflation. (Climbing out with eyes closed is more advanced.) -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigSky 2 #20 June 30, 2005 Dear lord that sound scary! I just did my first hop-n-pop last weekend with my eyes wide open and I was still scared shitless! I really want to hang off the wing next time though.“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.

hemphog 0 #21 June 30, 2005 My fav (outta our C182) is climbing out onto the step, get your arms out as far as possible on the strut (to clear the gear when you fall), then with your feet still on the step, swing/kick forward and keep your legs straight, bending only at the hips at 90 degrees. The relative wind pushes your legs up so your feet are pressing the bottom of the leading edge of the wing. I like to hang on with 1 arm and give a sign of some sort to the pilot then let go and watch the plane fall away. Edit: jgaley69, how do you hang with only your feet? I always fall... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ya we'll rape the local objects, and maybe do some jumps too!"

larsrulz 0 #22 July 1, 2005 Quotehow do you hang with only your feet? I always fall... Just tense your feet....like one would hang upside down from a bar or something. If you keep your feet tense, then that's more than enough to hold up your weight. From reading your method.....you need to get your feet up above the leading edge, they shouldn't be on the bottom if you want to hang. This isn't exactly an easy manuever; need a bit of strength to back you up. I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
