Pre-second CRW jump

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Just felt like sharing, since I'm still so pumped. I did my f*rst real CRW jump on the weekend. A 3-point 2 way with a VERY brave jumper and great friend :D. Bi-plane, side-by-side, followed by a downplane (scary as shit, but SO awesome).

It was a BIG mistake. I've seen the light, and now there's NO going back :$

In case anyone is wondering, yes, it WAS followed by alcohol :)

I think it's all downhill from here. Anyways, carry on. Just thought I'd share. :)

Damn straight Wendy!! It sure does! Scared the bejesus outta me though.

Quick question, what's the difference between a stack and a bi-plane? Or is there a difference, other than the name? I thought maybe a bi-plane just means two canopies, where a stack implies more than two. Or is a stack when you're just sitting on the canopy, and a bi-plane after you've slid down the lines?

I'm new to most of this CRW lingo, but I knew what one jumper meant when he told my partner to have a Merry Christmas :P

Bi-plane is when you are slid down the lines to the bottom person risers. This causes your chutes to look like the old "bi-planes" wings.
There is going to be a CRW camp in Eastern Michigan (Midwest Skydive)in mid AUG., it dosen't look too far from your area. You can learn a lot from a GREAT teacher/instructor Mr. Razz!

See 4th thread below this one for more info.
