is there any different in PC size and bridle length between base jumping and tandem base jump ?

To date, all Tandem Base jumps have been PCA as far as I know.

I thought so too, but now I think I remember someone saying they freefell one at BridgeDay. IDK ask these guys...

Looks like static line to me

Not a lot apparently.

 

I believe it was Karlsgratind (not sure of the spelling here) and I believe it was more than once. One of the Norwegian old boys might elaborate.

 Anyone remember the video in first or second base where they huck a wuffo off a gigantic cliff in Norway... and the guy flat spins for like 15 seconds till he lets go of thew pc....

Now thats brave!

The legend you speak of is Thor Alex.

Here is another freefall... Kjerag. Bit of a tumble

I also remember seeing one where the passenger did the exit because he was much taller than Thor.

I think it was three. First one from Kalskråtind which went well. Second one from Smellveggen (near Kjerag) where the passangers foot caught the edge of the exitpoint, sending them on their side. And the third from Kalskråtind where the passanger actually made the exit

We use a 10 foot bridle and a non vented 46" PC with our static line set up. I've made about 10 freefalls with the rig only and one roll over :)

Hi Mario,

What size canopy? Any vents?

 

Thanks Tree

Any chance you'd let me jump it when I visit?

I have 1987 Tandems + 437 BASE =
