Rounds

[Scott R]

Can anyone give me some plane old general Knowledge on rounds in Base.
For example when people choose to use them over squares? For technical reasons or just for fun, etc....
How do you know what size round for your body weight?
Any personal stories? Anyone ever taken one off a building or cliff???

Have you read the six or seven threads on rounds in the Technical Forum? I'd start there.

Quick answer: Use a round when you don't need a square. Generally, this means that you are landing directly below the exit, usually in water. Since it's water, sizing isn't real important. RS has made several hundred round jumps including many from buildings. Lots of people have jumped rounds from cliffs in a once popular National Park.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, but I'll try to write more later.
