Thanks Tom for a great FJC and exceptional hospitality!!!

At the time, I thought jumping out of a tree to practice exits was a little much, but it did certainly take the edge off.

Even though the weather was not that cooperative, I had a great time, learned a lot, and got in 6 incredible jumps.

You got to jump from a tree!!! The TomA Pendulator is in full affect? That's so cool! I can't wait to see it in action.

Congratulations on your first jumps.

Stay safe

Tim

Would be interesting to see how that is setup.

Maybe make one in my backyard?

How tall is tom's? how about a 50 ft one in my yard?

 

Just out of curiosity, how hard would it be to practice aerials from the pendulator?

Uh I dont think you are to speed on this...

Tom has a training device. YOu are up a decent height (?) and jump out of the tree. I believe you are connected to 2 ropes. This allows the instructor to evaluate your body postion...

tom correct me if wrong...


my thoughts exactly..

 

hey now... its not a joke! I want my own... just have to pose as a new upand coming cell tower owner and get the bank to pay for one, and the cell companies to put some antennas on it and let them pay the bill...

You'd need two side by side pendulators, and some kind of spinning harness (like divers use to train). THen, it would be pretty easy.

would you be willing to describe the design so others would be able to construct their own??

I did front and backflip in pendulator Ronny made for party in Stavanger 2 years ago, you have to keep your hands close to your body so you will not get nasty burn on your hands like i did

Anybody have any pendulator pix? Would like to see it in action. Gotta make one for the kids!

I've got some video, but I'll try to draw up a diagram and start a new thread. Probably too busy to get to that today, though.

sweetness... THankx!
