>>I've got video of some running SL exit's. It's off a rock, and it looks like they just somehow bolted a carabiner of some sort right into it, and just tied their breakcord around that and their bridle (which was longer than I've seen, but that doesn't neccesarily mean anything, not alot of SL here that I know of). It's a VHS though.

Yeah, What he said, that is all the daytime SL we have though.

Apparently I am confused. In the video it appears to me that they are all doing a running PCA. Pilot chute assist. Static line is when you actually tie off to the object. There is a big difference between the two. Forgive me if I am wrong. It isn't very easy to see however the first jumper to go into the quarry it appears that the camera person is holding the pc. I couldn't see in the other jumps but I am assuming the same method is used.

I would almost think that you could make another take with you static line bridle that would meet your needs. Obviously you would have to consider the weight and length of the setup though.

Just my intoxitcated thoughts.

i know this doesn't help answer your question much, but the last guy to jump into the quarry in that video is SL'd to a tree.

Looked like all of the PC's got drug down the side of the cliff How many of those needed to be replaced? Why not create a clear path for the PC to travel?

Sorry guys to me it looked like they were PCAéd off by the camera guy(or that he atleast helped to hold the bridel).

As im alone around here ill need a setup that can be used solo...

Jason,if you look at the video of one of the last jumpers,theyre close to the wall,i think they rather wanted a canopy out fast,and take the chance on the pc.It dont looks like a regular jump through(but WAY cool,and kind of similar to what i want..)

My biggest concer on a running exit,would be the remain bridel and clerence,its kind of important that the pins dont pop before your free off the cliff.

My thourght were yo make an ancor,whith a rope,then attach my SL to it,but im afrraid that if the rope or bridel can pull the pins just by the weight and friction..(guess ill need to do some tests any way).

If the people in the above video idnt got any help on the bridel(while doing the run)then im keen to know how it were done..

Thanks so far

Last guy static lined in. Someone you all know, then my wife, then I, were all PCA'd. Our PC's didn't drag that much and definitely not down the side of the hill. The only way to make a more clear path would have been to use machinery. You could have done it like an insane friend of ours and just freefell it but you have to miss a series of ledges.

just curious, what was the height of that object? what was the distance of the ledges horizontal and vertical from exit?

Hopefully I get corrected corrected if I am wrong but what I remember about it they were about 75 feet apart verticly, five to ten feet horizontal from side, and far enough out that a good push would get you to clear them. Without it you would be hating it. I watched the vid of my buddy freefalling it and he was real close to the second tier. You can see that there really isn't that much room to get a running start.

So what was the height of the object?
am I right in saying that the first ledge is 75ft vertically from exit and 10ft horizontally from exit? Do other ledges then stick out more horizontally?

We shot it with a lazer range finder and it was almost 400 feet from the top to the bottom. We had to prime the shrival flap of my friends rig that Freefell the thing. He got a pretty good run at it about 6 good steps and kicked off hard. He fell past the first ledge and oppened out in front of the second ledge.

If it was a shear wall it would be one hell of a nice object for regular jumping.

Faber,
The first time I went there to jump, we used about 10 feet of rope and anchored it around a tree. Then we used about 2 feet of break cord. We laid our PC's as close to the edge as we could then extended our bridles, walked backwards and ran like hell. Ive got 3 jumps off this Quarry, and I have seen about 15 jumps there as well.

Jason,
Pilot chutes are only about $60 dollars, I change them out pretty regular. Whats $60 for a good time

Well it tiers out every 50-75 feet for 5-10 feet. so down another 50-75 feet it is out from the face another 5-10 feet. I think the hieght of it was about 300. My buddy shot it with a laser but I don't remember what the distance was. You can feefall it as my buddy did. Me not so much.
