    Thanks to everyone who helped make the Building McConkey jump happen.......what a way to end a roadtrip!!!!!!!

    IT CAN BE DONE WITH A SOLID WALL/BUILDING IMMEDIATELY BEHIND YOU! (33rd storey balcony..270ft)

    A huge congratulations goes out to Spence - dude - your livin up to it!

    Just the thought of looking down the face of a building with your canopy hanging beneath...it sends chills down my spine.

    I hate to do it, but I think it's time to raise the question:

    Who will be the first to McConkey all four objects?

    Only the A and the E remain...

    C-ya!

    Bryan

    Yes I had POV forward helmet mount (.30 W/A PC-9) and 8mm video from the side of the balcony (which I still need a copy of!)

    It was sort of an impromptu jump....long drive back from Idaho......my rigs were unpacked.......pulling in back at home at 3 am......my buddies going on to their 3rd(!) and finally load of the night (it was getting light soon)......and me not wanting to miss out on the action.....plus (most importantly) knowing 100% that I could do it! <I had done my first McConkey earlier that day at Perrine>

    Damien(USA), Douggs(Australia), and me(Canada)......also did the first ever 3 way international TARD jump from Perrine....yes it is possible to have onheadings if you set the nose...get a little airspeed before release.....and feed the lines out with your other hand rather than dumping them....(BTW we spaced out 10 feet apart along the rail for exit)

    Although Douggsand I found out quickly after a little CRW that going slider up does not translate into slower openings! Damien did a nice 1-1.5 sec delay to stay clear of the nasties.......but blew both toggles on opening....

    Yes, it was a big day for tards all over the world!

    Alright all you retards! This stuff is blowing up. Huck yea! Now who is gonna do the first tard off of a building? Not me. I bet Miles will, he's f-ing crazy. Packing is overrated. And it takes too long. And you can pack a malfunction too! Why the hell would you want any of that crap? Packed rigs take way too long to open too.
    What I really want to know is who is gonna do the first "Under" off of an A. Imagine climbing up with an unpacked rig!
