Hey there! Wow, popcorn and everything! First, the video is suspended for soundtrack copyright reasons (didn’t expect that, did you!), working on that… not sure I want to make it public again with all the vultures wishing me isolated, killed or ever worse... expelled (C). It should still be a good idea to have it online as a lesson to me and everyone else stepping on the same path. Yes, I’ll get coaching the very first thing jumping resumes [in Spring]. No, I don’t believe I had a good judgment or doing the right things. As much as I tried to over float others and stay away from everybody in the pattern some jumps were SAFE (stupid and fucking extreme), and you really don’t need much for accident to happen. Analogy with cars doesn’t really work since high jumpers that swoop are landing to the same gravel circle with everybody else in pattern, but I believe you when you say that they not really are, and I need more experience to understand that. Whoever is mad at me here, I’m sorry. Yes, DZs and local friends did see this video and had a talk with me about the same. Since they know me, they were much less bloodthirsty, I have several people who offered to watch my landings and coach me. No more 270s, definitely no more 180s! Back to the basics. Work on flare, slow turns, pattern and accuracy. I’m really grateful to everyone for useful insights. [ducks and covers]
