Yeah, video would be much apreciated. Aside from almost stealing my name, this guy is now one of my biggest heros. What a badass bunch of guys.

Re: [basehoundsam] The Mr Burt ---- Hats OFF to the Canadians
Just a educated guess from the limited info given. exit linked/mr. bill
then here is my Questions ?
Was the exit a PCA for the 1st Canopy inflated/Out ? or was it a Go&Throw
When was the 2nd Canopy deployed prior to - the Leg-Lock, into the Down-Plane ?
was this @ BD ?
.
It's not as easy as it sounds. Having done some Mr.bills from a 182. Most are screwed-up @ the Exit.
So this is a pretty nifty little stunt. for a BASE jump

Re: [RayLosli] The Mr Burt ---- Hats OFF to the Canadians
Exit: 1st canopy was PCA. Doing a go&throw is possible but 1) is more dangerour because of risk of tumbling (with possibly a PC in tow) and 2) consumes more altitude. About when the 2nd canopy was deployed? I did see the jump from the bridge (and taped it) but could not really see it from that distance. It took some time before it was done which could indicate that they transition in a leg-lock took time. They could have waited however to perform the downplane above the LZ. Only themselves can really tell.
And yes, I have 2 Mr.Bills, from an aircraf.

Re: [RayLosli] The Mr Burt ---- Hats OFF to the Canadians
Funny... an almost identical scenario happened BY ACCIDENT at the KL Tower a couple of weeks ago. Started as a PCA'd Mr. Bill to an uncommanded deployment while still hanging on... canopies started to downplane before they figured out they better go to plan B and let go. I'll let the guilty parties involved elaborate if they wish... although I think the next day one of them was running around in a tight pink T-shirt with 'FLYCHICKS' written on it... and NO, he wasn't a chick...

A few pics from the bottom.
Re: [klapaucius] The Mr Burt ---- Hats OFF to the Canadians
Since no one has really explained the jump in detail.... -Both exited the bridge Mr. Bill style with a PCA.
-After opening, Bertrand Cloutier was the one holding on and he rotated 180 degrees under the canopy pilot.
-The canopy pilot is now holding Bertrand by his legs so that Bertrand is upside down with his chest to the front.
-Bertrand deploys his canopy, which opens perfectly.
-Since their legs are locked, they go into a downplane for about 3-4 seconds and release.
Very cool jump. Bertrand also jumped the "Shepard" costume last year and is featured on IMAX: Adrenaline Rush.
