    Are you talking about the yoyo rope?

    On the sample I did a stitched bury, for the rope they are actually using I used locked brummels.

    WOW!!! Congratulations, Opie. Good job. How did they release the yo-yo initially?

    Jay, I wish I had a picture.. basically they had the yo-yo cradled on a section of 3/16 Amsteel blue that ran through the center with a mechanical release. This was actually their 4th or 5th drop with it. They spent most of the day doing test drops to see what effect it would have on the crane.

    Were they able to get a reading on the pressure that thing exerted at the bottom? That was way cool.

    The opinions expressed by this user are not those of a competent individual. If they were that would mean I know what I am talking about.
