Kramer 0 #1 August 4, 2003 I'm curious, what's the highest you've ever been under canopy? Reply with your number. Me: 4,000. Then again, I've only made one jump. I just want to know what the going-rate is :) Thanks. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #2 August 4, 2003 When I get a new canopy I pull high to get familiar with it. I have pulled at 11000 on the first three jumps with each of my canopies and I have had 4 canopies Kirk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeedToJump 0 #4 August 4, 2003 Highest is pulling right out the door at around 13,500 for CRW or cross country (plane could have been higher or lower, not sure exactly.) Normal is between 2500 and 3500.Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianmdrennan 2 #6 August 4, 2003 13500 - I try to do at least 1 every month, preferably more. Of course as it gets colder that will change Blue skies IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #7 August 4, 2003 I love doing clear&pulls from altitude for a nice sunset jump. Sometimes toss some CReW together, sometimes swooping clouds, always fun and always very beautiful (sunset, duh). So I guess my highest pulled is about 13,000ft. As for my lowest pulled, the lowest allowable deployment altitude is 2000ft, so that has to be it. *cough*1600*cough* On average I deploy at 3k for sport jumps.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

diablopilot 2 #10 August 4, 2003 I know of a couple of Brits who were on a mission to set the world record static-line jump. Got out of a Cessna 208 (Caravan) at SkyDance in Davis, CA at something just over 30,000agl.

sarge57 0 #11 August 5, 2003 I pitched at 10k a few times, after letting the pilot know due to FAA radar notification thing...just to have a nice long leisurely ride...you can usually do this, if it doesnt tend to bugger up the rest of the load, depending on what everyone is up to...its a big sky, and theres room for all...even us garden variety fun/weekend thrill seekers...be safe...ooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaatttarrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuusssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazon 7 #14 August 5, 2003 At Lost Prairie we did a sunset load/cross country with over 100 people from 13500+ AGL... since Lost Prairie is at 3500 ASL that makes for 17,000+.. nice and chilly even when the day had been in the high 90 degree's. It was one LONG ride down.... I turned my canopy around and faced the sun as it was going down behind a mountain.... still up at about 8500'.. wow.. nice memory.

ianmdrennan 2 #16 August 5, 2003 hehe yeah man. Not doing spirals I find it take us (96 and 84) about 6.5 - 7 minutes to get down from 10 g's. In fact, sometimes we pass the tandems on the way down (if we do any spiraling). Awesome Blue skies IanPerformance Designs Factory Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

proswoopingtour 0 #19 August 6, 2003 Members of team extreme have tested the Icarus Extreme line of canopies above 25,000ft. They also opened their VXs above 20,000ft in the European Alps for the numerous expeditions that can be seen on their new DVD "Out of the Blue". Safety note: opening altitudes of this height utilizing small, highly loaded canopies requires special equipment and additional training that's not readily available in the skydiving industry.

Michele 1 #20 August 6, 2003 Twice I've done 13000+ clear and pulls...loved every minute of the sunset one, and worked my back and arms off on the one during the canopy class. Both were wonderful...and actually I think I'm due for another one fairly quickly. The silence, the only noise you can hear is your canopy...the grand expanse. The time to watch the world from that height...very special and very unique. I generally pull at 4K...

Rhino Ha, I noticed in an earlier thread that you were swooping 62mph with only 400 jumps, I was pretty impressed. Now I see why. :) I don't think I'll try swooping until at least 1k, but that's cool that you're doing so good.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
