dqpacker 7 #26 September 26, 2009 I know of a video guy that was doing crw all day and then had a tandem video at sunset. He pitched about 2 seconds out the door on the tandem video. He said he thought about chopping real quick but he didn't want to lose his main. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tdog 0 #28 September 27, 2009 Quote Somewhat on the flip side I was sitting next to a guy once in the Otter who was making a fun jump after doing nothing but solid tandems for about a year. And all the way to altitude he kept muttering to himself, "Don't throw the drogue, don't throw the drogue . . ." NickD And I was on a jump with a fatality where someone with many, many, many tandems in a row failed to cutaway a cypres induced downplane on a sport rig. I could only assume he went all the wrong places for all the right handles on the rig, starting with the main, then the cutaway. I think recurrency jumps are serious business and the recurrency is not about the freefall but the gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
