airdweller 0 #1 August 4, 2004 The New England boogie at Pepperell later this month is going to have high altitude jumps, and it got me thinking. So what is the highest altitude you have jumped from? For me about 15000 ft, but that should change after the boogieWhat is the lowest altitude you have jumped from? For me about 2200 ft------------------------------------------------------ "From the mightiest pharaoh to the lowliest peasant, who doesn't enjoy a good sit?" C.

FrogNog 1 #11 August 4, 2004 QuoteHighest = 16,000 ft Lowest = 4000 ft for IAD Never exited below 4k? You're missing out. The thing I love about 2.5k exits is they really make me work on being relaxed and having good body position. After two days of low jumps due to clouds, I started getting way more on-heading openings on my regular jumps. (Me = 15k / 2.2k.) -=-=-=-=- Pull.

mcrocker 0 #14 August 4, 2004 Highest, 16,000 for a 34-way attempt Lowest, 2,500 to stay under some clouds. It is freaky when my timeout and pro-track are going off as I climb onto the strut of the 182. The pilot commented on the beeping when he landed.
