Default McConkey on Gin Nano



I fly a Gin Nano 07 13m2 for ground launching, quite a twitchy wing until its loaded up and flying. Not sure a McConkey is a good idea on one, well this video proves that a little.

For a moment there I thought you meant that Shane did the jump!

Lucky mother the dude is.

It reminds me of my last mishapped at the Perrine...fortunately my tarp was a 240...so the end result was just a cracked rib.

Have you seen the TARD off the Perrine under a 10m2? I forget which vid it's in or if I saw it online.
I've got a 10m2 and a 12m2. The 10m2's only coming out on snow. It's a ****ing rocket.

**** I can't remember which event that was during (maybe dan schillings crane assisted record?) but I do remember Tenacious-B telling me he was down below and watch that **** when Haliday commented to the gin pilot, "hey dude, you should totaly keep doing that... because by the end of the day, YOU'RE DEAD!".

Ha! Never have met JimmyH but his reputation precedes him and if the trash stomper made that comment that's gotta be some crazy ****!

Oh, it would have gotten your juices flowing, alright. You'd have pissed yourself! That 10m2 is a ****ing rocket. I have a 10m2 and a 12m2 and the 10 is for ski slopes only.

Is this the video your talking about?



**** you Nick I like asterisks! If you're having a hard time figuring out what they stand for send me a private message and I'll fill in the blanks for and send it back. This way you get to see what your missing, and the rest of us don't have to listen to you tell us how to post. I could understand semicolons or that little thing they put above the word in spanish, but asterisks and exclamation points that crap is hard core!

Im scared enough on my 13m2 at the moment.... not quite ready for hill swooping without snow a 10m2 yet, or even a 12m2 for that matter!.... brown smoke will actually come out of my arse...

Do you use the Gin speedfly Harness with these? Do you ever fly with risers? How does the nano perform with risers if you do?

If its all about that, then I am glad to have not had that "pleasure".... If you close your eyes does it make it more acceptable?

Yeah, I've got a couple Yeti's. And if you're looking for one, I can probably still get one for you at a pretty good discount.

On the 12, yes, I fly risers. Handles fine. The 10, though...in the few flights I have on it, I have not flown risers. It's incredibly twitchy and not nearly as stable. I stick to toggle inputs on it.
