Unvented s/l-ing
Hi

Is anyone s/l-ing in the 130-140ft region with a Mojo? Canopy is a 240, wingloading of approx 0.8. If so any comments would be greatly appreciated

I am posting this for a jump buddy who doesn't have web access

Thanks

Stay safe

Hi Niel
you guys are cracySlyLaugh
I think you should talk to the crazy dudes from Belgium,i guess the do,even as i know that one of them got hurt from a jump from 114ft,but im not sure if that were his unvented canopy.. perhaps you can se on the video?

You did see my latest vid from my latest trip right?You see Mac taking a 1-1,5sec delay off 230ft,his canopy kind of reacted "funny"Pirate which resulted in his bad leg again..

I wouldnt SL an unvented canopy off anything,hell im not even sure i will freefall one againSlyLaugh

ctach me at msn if your not sure which dudes im talking about,and which video..

I've done a few 140' s/l jumps over water. I use a maverick modified for base because I dont want to get my Ace wet. I wouldn't recomend trying this over solid ground.
