point-break

When using the backpack approach, what do you do with it when going through security? You just plunk it down on the conveyor belt and send it through the xray as-is? Haven't tried this, but i would imagine it would immediately draw attention / concern...no?

you're very welcome 'tactical' glad you enjoyed it!

Hey all, I'm looking for some specific advice related to hitting a solid arch quickly as a very sizable guy (6'4" 215lbs). I have a consistent problem exiting stable - from both the caravan in poised position (crouched at the door) but also from the cessna when standing on the landing gear. All other facets of my dive are executed safely and with precision, but I can't seem to find a way (either mentally or physically) to force myself into a perfect arch before destabilizing after exit. Having read quite a few posts pertaining to exit issues, I'm becoming acquainted with what seem to be a good number of mental and physical strategies. But I haven't come across anything related to the size of the skydiver. And I do believe that my height presents somewhat of a challenge when dealing with poised exits from very low crouching positions. Even on the cessna, though less than out of the caravan, i'm in a position from which it is harder to spring into a solid arch than it would be if i were more upright. Any suggestions are welcomed! Many thanks!!
