I need a certain type of system
I am going to be jumping from some high buildings so I need to know what the best set up would be. I also need to know if it would be able to hold more then one person. Keep in mind it needs to be compact and able to carry around simply. I do parkour and this will be on my back when I do parkour so it needs to be able to not tear also. Can you guys help me out?

I did parkour before this. Don't be a pussy and rely on a parachute if you mess up. Parkour is all about sticking those landings, broseph.
Also, a parachute will be too restrictive. Especially one big enough for two people.
Forget the idea, and work on your skills more if you feel uncomfortable.

just order a 52" pilot chute, it will do wonders!
Re: [JBag] I need a certain type of system
common JBAG... comments like that and he might actually do it! The best way to do this is
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/...029e29#ht_500wt_1156
It even comes with a spare parachute in case the first one doesn't work! Bargain if you ask me
It will already come packed so no need to learn all that boring packing stuff...
Just remember when you fall pull the ripcord!!!
Re: [Arsenul] I need a certain type of system
You'll want something small and light. I reccomend a PD Optimum 106. Jumpshack make chest mounts. which will suit your jumping and rolling around. www.perfromancedesigns.com
www.jumpshack.com
And you'll be able to carry 2 people...Just pulll a fat 270 and flare real quick and you'll be fine.
Re: [udder] I need a certain type of system
I think udders idea is the best one, I didn't take the jumping and rolling into account. Also don't forget that once you put a parachute of any kind on a minimum of 1x GoPro becomes mandatory!
... more is better!
Re: [Weightless] I need a certain type of system
Yea I like the idea of it being easy to work with. The parachute isn't for if I fall doing parkour. It's for when I do parkour and jump off a 100 stories crane or building. It is mainly for my RLSH set up.

Please make sure you have at least 1 Go pro on you and someone filming because this will be a perfect example of how not to get in to BASE. You may be good at Parkour but the chance of you not fucking yourself up on the jump is pretty small. Let me know how it goes and respect if you pull it off.
Re: [Arsenul] I need a certain type of system
if you believe in a progression (such as crawl, walk run), you should be looking for a place that offers training on how to use a parachute, what can go wrong, etc. most current jumpers would have loved a quick, easy way to begin BASE. it does not exist. to be safe, everyone must put time in laying a foundation, and then placing one brick at a time.

That's even more stupid than I thought your plan was originally.
From one traceur to another, drop the idea.

In reply to:
Can someone explain why urban gymnastics is called Parkour?
Cos the guys that developed a lot of it and took it into the public eye 5 or ten years ago were French.

BTW, what you asking is how do I become a base jumper. There is no correlation of skill between rhythmic gymnastics and flying a parachute, which is what you would be doing. I have no doubt that if you are a good parkourer (or whatever you would call yourself) that you would excel at aerials, but that won't help you when you break your back smashing into the building you just jumped off off because you lack even basic parachuting skills.
Good luck!
Parkour comes from "parcours du combattant" which was a french obstacle course.
Someone who does it is a traceur. Coming from the verb tracer meaning to trace.
That is a good point though. His whole idea is totally unrelated to parkour. Just do what I did and give up parkour, get out of shape, and have more fun jumping off stuff you couldn't before.

It's called a BASE rig.
It will not be much use to you until you are a BASE jumper.

Yes, but it has been pointed out that it is French.
Our Froggy friends have to take such shit.

I'd be sort of hard to do some rolls with a stash bag....

Haha!! Seems you're as ignorant about parkuor as he is about BASE!!
You sound about as smart as the OP with your post!
I bet he has a better chance of making a safe jump than you do of pulling off any parkour moves

And that link is amazing. This guy needs to base. His aerials would be unreal.
Agreed
Ever notice how EAZY something is... So long as someone else is doing it;
same for jumping, parkour, work, etc.
Oh, just in case anyone is confused:
Simple DOES NOT EQUAL Easy
Example: run a marathon, well the
process is rather simple, just put your
right foot in front of your left foot...
over and over and over for 26.2 miles.
BASE - just jump off, if you are me
maybe take a second or two to flail,
then pull the chute, and land, simple.
