freeflyit 0 #1 January 7, 2017 I want to see your right side rotation approaches....270's and 450's. Let's limit it to ones that crush the target only. 'Cmon, time to brag :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would appear considerably more important at what height one decides to finish it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TommyBotten 0 #9 February 2, 2017 wasatchriderlooks like a 270 then a 180 Yeah, the pause before snapping the last 180 is a tad too much on these turns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #10 February 13, 2017 TommyBotten***looks like a 270 then a 180 Yeah, the pause before snapping the last 180 is a tad too much on these turns. Top end looks a little quick as well but, I don't do 450º so, IDK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What exit weight or WL had you got? Hola amigo. Si es Skydive Spain. The setup has minimum height of 700ft, the best is around 780ft. Exit weight is around 87kg and WL on KA120 around 1.6 I guess. You jump here with us?Why ask what height one starts one's turn? It would appear considerably more important at what height one decides to finish it.

EvilGenius 0 #13 February 15, 2017 Forgive my ignorance but can anyone explain the purpose of the pause before the 180 snap? I see a (well two!) pause(s), albeit slightly shorter in this video, so it seems to be a desirable component of a swoop? https://www.facebook.com/Voldhooker/videos/10211344267065683/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE Glad to say the vid is on topic being a 630 right handed approach! ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyBotten 0 #14 February 15, 2017 The jury is still out on whether its the best technique or not, however I was taught that it gives me a better chance of getting entirely vertical just before my roll out. I've tried a bit back and forth and for me this "feels" right and I've been getting better results across all three disciplines with this technique. Do note that the pause in my video was too long as I had just started to do them and wanted to exaggerate. In addition to having a better chance on getting the dive angle right, I also use it as a "check point" in the turn as I divide my turn up into several stages for training purposes.

AdD 1 #24 July 31, 2017 700' is too low for 270 with a VK at 2.6. I'm above 800 and only loading 2.3... just my opinion.Life is ez On the dz Every jumper's dream 3 rigs and an airstream Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #25 July 31, 2017 Really depends on the type of turn you're doing. Flare start, no fronts, full speed start... etc. I do my 270º from 850 (maybe should be a little lower) at sea level VK75PS loaded at 2.4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
