4 Static Line Video's!!

Recommended Posts

is there someway to modify the link to the videos inside your page so that I can "save target" them? perhaps post a clicky in the forums that leads directly to the .mpg?

I can't view them on my stupid computer unless I've downloaded em first. :|

I found the URL's of the video clips in the source of the page. Hanging static line exits from a C-182. About 3 Mb per 10 second clip.

I checked those out earlier when I noticed your link.
Pretty cool lookin' plane ya'll got there.

Static line jumps look fun!

Interesting that no one wore goggles. Is this the norm?

Any of ya have contacts?

On the static line jump it is pretty normal. You're only traveling about 80 mph for a few secs while on the wing. Then your chute opens. People with contacts will where goggles.

Wuzavince what do you mean by interresting? Did you like them? I was the guy with the yellow helmet. The only thing the video doesn't show is that it was about 40 degrees on the ground and was freezing up there. I was getting hit with ice from the mosiure in the air freezing lol. But was the best time ever. It kind of makes me feel good that I wasn't a puss about it and still jumped in the cold like that. I wish we could get the whole video on the web site. At the very end it shows me having a perfect stand up landing about 1 foot from the little bulls eye thing on the DZ. Was a ton of fun.

There are also a number of static line videos on my clubs website (link at bottom of post).

We use a slightly larger cessna 206 so the exit is very different - being a hop out into the relative wind from a sitting possition. Check em out in gallery 2 of our videos section (link at top right of page).

I have about $1500 wrapped up into 3 tandems and 9 static lines. Not getting anywhere with static line so I quit in October knowing that I will be moving near a dropzone with AFF so I can switch over. Old Dropzone did not.

Not wasted money but leary of spending more. I am going to go on though. I want to get my license. I just believe my learning method is different that my last dropzone was teaching. Will be relocated early February and ready to jump again.
