champu 1 #9 December 11, 2003 hey man nice work, you look like you're ready to downsize... Well, I can't say I've ever flown a Spectre, I'll just assume they're really hard to land. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #10 December 11, 2003 well... you can take consolation in the fact that your landings are better than mine! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ojf1982 0 #11 December 11, 2003 From what i can tell it looks like the landings are cross/downwind.The edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who know where it is are those that have gone over - Hunter S.

fool 0 #12 December 11, 2003 I find that spectres are actually pretty versatile to land... you can swoop them, or sink them in. You just have to pick the style that works for you, and get used to it... or get used to them both, either way.

koopa 0 #19 December 11, 2003 I learned don’t reach. Reaching is something i learned from 4 years of racing BMX when I was a teenager It's just not a good thing to do in sky diving:) My landings are 20 times better now in days :) Hope I didn’t just jinx my self. -CK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycop 0 #20 December 11, 2003 Dude, Nice video! Remember fly the canopy all the way until you are on terra firma! Keep your hands even and flare with small corrections evenly to deal with wind direction, don't reach or ouch!! It looks like you're inproving keep it up!! Pretty soon it will be second nature!!
