The purpose of this video is to highlight some of the important points surrounding bridle management on Aerial deployments. While this video is very detailed, it is by no means complete. There are countless variables that can come into play which will change the course of any BASE jump and I am in no way trying to say that I know them all.

Line Overs Don't Exist
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
This debate is becoming more and more common, so my question to you all is: Is it about time we started changing things? IF we started routing our brakes inside the rings slider down, and made sure we had line release toggles, what would the downside be? baseguiding.com basegear.net exitpoint.podbean.com/e/48-avery-badenhop-and-team-ill-vision/ www.swissbaseassociation.org/box

Thank you for these videos. Right balance between information and seriousness, etc.
Great video!!!
Thank you for these videos bro!!🙌
Fuckin hell
Nothing to see here. Just a canopy flying towards my car a night. The Kool Aid is so good though I hear.
Make slider down great again!
Fucking night warrior! Fuck yeah dude!
Where is that accent coming from, bangs of south west Ireland throughout
Cork :)
@@johnnysjumps hahaha I knew it 😂 you're getting a sub 👍🏻
I've been BASE jumping since 2007, and that is the first time I've seen a dude hold his attachment point. Jesus.
Very helpful John, thank you❤ would you mind make a video about tips for frontflip static line and pca jump if you can🙏
Great tips, thank you John!
thats so dope that pic of him jumping off the TOA in my cities downtown. was wondering if anybody had done it before
👀 as beautiful as this is I’d miss that slider off thunder
I miss it too, but my neck def doesn't haha
I like your explanations. Top thanks!
🤙👍
What suit is that? I like how the arms aren’t zipped like a wingsuit
Phoenixfly Onesie Power - I love it. Tons of speed, and you can get decent distance with it.
@@johnnysjumps sweet. I am building my tracking skills at the dz to prepare for big walls. How you like that compared to wingsuits?
@@thepicklefish - In terms of buy in (time, money, practice) you'll be ready to use a One Piece track suit BASE jumping a lot sooner than a wing suit. I think it's a good idea to get some experience doing big wall jumps in a two piece prior to going to a Onesie though. They have a lot of power, and you can get yourself into trouble pretty easily.
@@johnnysjumps thanks for the advice!
How cold does it get there in the winters?
It can get into single digits in Jan + Feb but the wind chill makes it feel lower.
What is your wingloading?
so epic dood damn
would you suggest still using the LRT method of setting the brakes to mitigate the increased opening forces on the toggle stiffeners?
I’d treat it the same as slider up in relation to how you set the brakes - pull the brake setting down through the guide ring, pass the toggle through the brake setting then into the stow. I don’t see any downside to the LRT method but it seems unnecessary. I’ve never actually thought about the opening force on the toggle stiffeners. What do you think?

Great stuff. Keep em coming John😊
Phill is in the video.
You're the man John, great series! Thanks for sharing.
Watch Thy Bridle
RIP BFL-472 😢
As a skydiver I always look at what the BASE community is doing. It really puts a microscope in everything happening. The bridge work you and Will and others have been doing with slow motion is what everyone should pay close attention to.
a BIG thanks from the french alpes
Thank for sharing!
Thank you 🙏 Good suggestions - I do have several on the list regarding different things to do with canopy flight, and wind considerations for slider down.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share. Fantastic series!
Glad you like them!
Love this.
Great
Love this series dude!
Pls keep making these educational videos, they are great. Im learning a lot here. Topics for future videos could be canopy flying or weather for BASE. Keep it up
Excellent video
Great video John! Just heard your episode on exit point too, super cool stuff keep it up!
Thanks dude 🙏
John, I really appreciate all these videos. These must be really time consuming. Thanks for volunteering your time and effort to making our community safer.
Thanks Steve 👊
Thank you for taking the time to make this video John! Great stuff. I like to hold the section of bridle between the hand and the pins with my pilot chute hand's index finger, very very lightly, just to control this "arc" of bridle until the jumper is properly setup. Also a common mistake I see is people so focused on the bridle hand that they disregard the trajectory of the PC when it gets snatched out of their hand, sometimes causing the PC to hit the edge of the object. Can't wait for the other videos :)
Thanks man 👊 Great add on points! Yeah I’ve seen several PCs get dusted on the edges of cliffs as well. Combination of what you said, and or people standing too far back.
Thanks for the video 👊
Does direct slider control still function as a tailgate for SU?
No, direct control is help keep the slider up until line stretch. Good video here: ruclips.net/video/nciajWdFd9c/видео.html
Beautiful 🤙🏼
Sick
LTBJ (Douggs & Sam) are teaching it exactly like that. Steering lines through the rings, SU & SD.
Great video. It seems like everyone stopped talking about this a few years ago for some reason. I get a lot of new jumpers, and they come to me not knowing this stuff. This’ll be one of the videos that I direct them to
Thanks man, Yeah even just doing a quick search this morning I couldn't find anything post 2007 haha. Figured it was time to get some of the basics out there again.
I use a tail gate slider up because why not. It’s there from my slider off jumps, so I may as well use it and keep the habit. All of my SU openings (not many) have been good thus far. I also use a new fresh rubber band every jump.
Is there a difference in the tailgate binding, twice or three times, from a height of e.g. 70 meters?
Every wrap you do will hold it tighter so it'll need more force to release. I wouldn't start playing with adding wraps on something as low at 70m. If it is something you want to experiment with, do it off something big, with lots of margin, and get top video, or rear facing from a 360 cam, and look at your deployments.
@@johnnysjumps thanks,i always made two binding
Yeah - it’s impossible to give any recommendation without seeing a deployment. It might be working perfectly, or it could be blowing early every time.
