This one has a nice background with the Beaver and Cessna all blurred - still need to use risers, loosen the chest strap and lean forward - in otherwords learn to swoop. But I like the pic anyway.

I copied the stitching technique from a photo on this thread. The camera was not locked off, the stitching done by hand in photoshop. (PM me if you want a lowdown on the technique - it's easy)

This was the first time I took part of a "swoop'n'chug" - very very very fun.

Photo depicts last part of a swoop... style is not nice (particularly middle photo), but accuracy for beer wasn't bad. BTW the toggle switch after feet were planted was totally instinctive to get to the beer... Smile the mountain on the back is an 18000ft active vulcano.

Smoke brackets are cool, the ground effect and cloud vortecs left over afterwards was even cooler. I just wish I could find those pics. Damn alcohol!

Greg lands his ST to a complete stop on his rears on every single jump, as do several others around here. That said, he is one swooping motherfucker and he ain't a feared of doing some tricks.

Sweet pics man!

Now, why didn't yall get swooping hard like that when you were in Aggieland?Tongue

See, another example to the low time jumpers who don't think you can swoop the piss out of a stiletto! Its all about the canopy pilot and da-lama proves it.Smile

You say that like it's a good thing. I thought one of the finer arts of swooping was knowing when to transition to toggles and how to do it smoothly.

Re: [raymod2] Post your Hot Swoop Pic(s) [In reply to] Can't Post
You misunderstand. Greg has absolutely no problem flying his ST to a complete stop safely and without rear-riser-stalling. It's pure finesse. If you want to see examples of people doing that most every single jump under a very small crossbrace, just watch Dusty Smith at Eloy.

and not to say this this is not impressive, this is really kick ass........but that's not really getting everything out of your canopy, your really shorting yourself on distance........


but hey, it looks cool, and lets face it, it's all about looking cool rightTongueCool
