Will the attached photo of a 'pre-rigged' s/l hook up work?

My vote is no... some gay british guy thinks it will work fine

You didnt even put any effort into explaining it properly you colonial hick. Both ends will be finger trapped for a secure SL connection.

I think so.

wow looks to be to much for me
i like shit i know will work

Good to go. Jump that shit but I never understand why anyone would ever jump anything under 300ft.

That shit is scary

Hopefully you're not seriously considering trusting your life to the friction between the break cord and the accessory cord to hold more than 80-160#. If this is a joke, I get it... if it's a serious question - you're lucky you were at least smart enough to ask! Even if it holds, you better hope that cheap white string breaks when the accessory cord gets a hangup!

Actually, it wasn't the flaming, redcoat, march-like-a-faggot-to-some-guy-in-a-furry-hat-playing-a-flute-while-we-fire-at-them-from-the-trees pansy from the land of people who put milk in their tea that was smart enough to ask the question. It was his stamp tax protesting, tea-heaving-into-boston-harbor, colonial counterpart that cared enough to ask.

I voted for option #3

If by colonial counterpart you mean slum living, sweatshop steelmill working, industrial revolutionary, eastern european immigrant trash.....

i watched him jump it yesterday! it looked deadly as hell but it worked!

 

You're going to use that setup from 145 ft? Why use something that might fail, when you can use something you know is much less likely to fail. Search "carry away" and you can see a ton of different ways to rig one of these, it's really simple and they're all better than that one.

no worries, we're using 46 inch PCs

I hope the landing area is soft.

from your photo I'm not sure you understand the difference between static line and break cord? other than that trivial issue . . . yeah what everyone elsle said.

what kind of 145ft object to you plan to use that sketchball setup from ?

Bridge. ask Andy Copland. he'll be the lab rat. i'll use the tie off (which he also made?) what am i "crazy". i aint touchin that thing! Have you seen it? hahaha

I have seen it. And I have jumped it, from both levels. and unless you plan to rappel 30 ft from the lowest level, you won't be jumping from 145ft. I GUARANTEE IT.

lower level 160? upper is 180 as far as ive been told .seemed 145-150 seemed accurate. big enough for rollovers apparently

and a great place to learn TARDS with a ginger...

I remember it being lasered at 210... but locals like to inflate their egos ;-)

Cotton is the only way to sew, who needs E thread?

Its all much prettier now.

And for the record the lower deck is 75.82ft

You're all on crack. Except Andrew. It's 210'. Real base jumpers use stollen zip ties and electrical tape to tie off on that object anyway. Break cord costs money. Grow a set Andy and freefall it like 1081 always did. Then stop by for a beer sometime you damned Redcoat.

Did TJ teach you to sew?

 damn... someones carpet is as dirty as mine.

:-D
