rehmwa 2 #101 October 22, 2004 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. ...

el_chester 4 #104 October 28, 2004 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... Me (17s) The winner (Mach) (12s) -- Be careful giving advice.

AggieDave 6 #121 December 21, 2004 Sweet pics man! Now, why didn't yall get swooping hard like that when you were in Aggieland? 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.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raymod2 1 #122 December 21, 2004 QuoteGreg lands his ST to a complete stop on his rears on every single jump, as do several others around here. 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #123 December 21, 2004 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. chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QuoteYou misunderstand. Greg has absolutely no problem flying his ST to a complete stop safely and without rear-riser-stalling. It's pure finesse. 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 right later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
