I know we talked about the gopro not being perfect and every one lands differently? Personally I think it is a waste of time. The only way to get better at landing, is to get off your arse and jump. If money and the cold are an issue, do hop and pops. Also remember that landing is a dynamic and interactive process. It is completely different landing in no wind to a 15 knot wind, dz altitude and temperature also affect things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 261 #31 March 6, 2012 Quote What are your thoughts on watching videos of people landing? Sounds OK to me. Of course it is no guarantee that the viewer won't himself screw up, or be able recognize his own mistakes or avoid them. Those are additional levels of perception and ability. But if one isn't great at landings it can help reinforce ideas in one's mind. If you have the right kind of videos, you get to see those one-arm-down "gusts"; the flares not fully completed; stabbing of toggles; the effect of having the chest strap spread to help get one's C of G above one's feet; sticking one foot out to save a landing instead of PLFing, how it is harder to run out a landing even a little if one is dropping down rather than just putting one's feet down like landing gear; etc. ... all the sorts of things you might have heard about but don't automatically come to mind if you weren't already watching a lot of landings.

obelixtim 100 #34 April 6, 2012 Well, with the ladder, you could leave it on the DZ, land on top of it and simply climb down from there... Until someone with a go pro takes it out....My computer beat me at chess, It was no match for me at kickboxing.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
