    Has anyone tried a backwards McConkey before? I had a go on the weekend which was a bit of fun. I stood on the side of the bridge facing it with the chute hanging over my back, and leapt off backwards into a somersault, it wasn't very smooth cause I didn't jump out far enough but other than that it was pretty cool.

    Sweet!

    As far as I know, you're the first.

    But aren't you from Croatia?

    Nice one.

    Check with Douggs..he may have tried one. Shane and I talked about it a few months ago...I'm not sure if he got around to trying it before ski season started.

    OK, so now the door's open....who's up for Reverse McConkey BASE #'s?
    Fer them pesky solid objects...flip off backwards keeping one shoulder low to generate the required 90+ deg off heading opening!

    why don't you just hook up your canopy backwards for those jumps?
