badenhop 0 #3 January 16, 2006 I really do make an effort, whenever possible, to have an open container above the canopies of skydivers. If there are no canopies below for reference, I try to keep in mind where the DZO is.================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity.

Martini 0 #4 January 16, 2006 That depends on a lot of things. Like maybe whether the DZO is around or not Sometimes you eat the bear.............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peej 0 #5 January 16, 2006 Any normal skydive, break off at 4500, track till 3500, wave and pitch. Same goes for wingsuiting, most of the time. If i'm enjoying it i might take it down a little lower, but not much more than say 3000. Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #6 January 16, 2006 With a fairly small, fairly twitchy canopy I pitch 1000 ft higher than normal - at 4k. GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The111 0 #7 January 16, 2006 When I am flying my camera (most of the time), between 3.5 and 4k. If I'm jumping without a helmet and know there's nothing snaggable on my head, I'll pull as low as 2.5k if I have a reason to. My canopy snivels a lot.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A small elliptical canopy easily adds 2k to the comfort zone, then Skyhook shaves 1k off that. A BASE rig puts it in a different league alltogether (yes, there are plenty of places that allow or tolerate that). Finally a DZO can give or take a couple of grand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Calvin19 0 #9 January 17, 2006 [ P.S.
