last week Alex lost his longtime battle against cancer. 13.000 jumps and over 30 years in the sport made him an outstandig person in austrian skydiving. internationally he was know as a well respected team and sectorcaptain of the world-team, where he took part in all the records. he was mentor, friend and inspiration for many. soar high In Memoriam Alex Huber Im Fallschirmsport gibt es wohl kaum einen, der auf so vielfältige Art und Weise auf das Leben einer ganzen Generation von Springern Einfluss hatte, wie Alex Huber. Mitte November hat er den langen und mit unbändigem Optimismus geführten Kampf gegen seine Krebserkrankung verloren. Begonnen hat alles 1973, als Huber – damals knapp 16-jährig - seine Fallschirmsprunglizenz erwarb. Rasch entwickelte er sich zum Shootingstar der damals dominierenden Disziplinen Stil (Bestzeit nur ganz knapp über 6 Sekunden!) und Ziel, die er vor allem im militärischen Bereich ausübte. Anfang der 1980er kam sein Wechsel zur zivilen Springerkarriere und er stellte sein erstes RW-Team zusammen. Fortan dominierte Huber mit seinen Teamkollegen auf Jahre die heimische Wettkampfszene und auch wenn es „seine“ 4er- und 8er-Teams lange nicht mehr gibt, klingen die Namen Royal Flash, Memphis, PST oder Surprise auch heute noch fort. Überhaupt waren die 80er-Jahre eine fruchtbare Zeit – sowohl für Alex Huber als auch für den Fallschirmsport: Rundkappen wurden von Flächengleitern abgelöst und im Schulungsbereich waren AFF und Tandem die neuen Zauberworte. Einmal mehr war Alex Huber an vorderster Front und man kann ruhig behaupten, dass er beides nach Österreich brachte. 1985 erwarb er seinen Tandem-Master bei Strong Enterprises, ab 1986 war er Instructor-Examiner, ebenfalls seiner Kreativität entsprang das Programm A3F, eine Hybridausbildung zwischen Static-Line und AFF. Wie viele Schüler aller Richtungen er ausgebildet hat, lässt ebensowenig abschätzen, wie die Zahl jener, die von ihm das Reservepacken gelernt haben. Und da wir gerade bei der Ausbildung sind: Auch für die Entwicklung des offiziellen Ausbildungshandbuchs für den DFV und spatter den ÖAC zeichnete er maßgeblich verantwortlich. Neben diesen Hard-Facts existiert eine Fülle an Geschichten, - sei es ein Sprung aus 12.000 Meter über Wien Schwechat (Absetzflieger Cessna 210!), ein Tandem über dem Nordpol oder 99 Cutaways zu Testzwecken - die eine schillernde Persönlichkeit sichtbar werden lassen, die immer auf der Suche nach neuen Herausforderungen war. Seine Kerntugend, die von allen seiner Freunde und Weggefährten hervorgehoben wird, war die Fähigkeit, Nachwuchstalente zu erkennen und aktiv zu fördern und wachsen zu lassen. Das wurde im Rahmen seiner langjährigen Tätigkeit als LO und Teamcaptain bei den internationalen Großformationen des World Teams, wo er für seine springerischen und menschlichen Qualitäten hoch geschätzt wurde, genau so sichtbar, wie bei den von ihm organisierten österreichischen Rekorden in Fürstenfeld 2009 und 2010. Wenn Alex Huber, nach 13.000 Sprüngen seinen Schirm jetzt endgültig zur Seite legen musste, bleibt nur mehr eines zu sagen: Danke für die Inspiration und die Freundschaft, die Du uns geschenkt hast.

there's nothing wrong with a vortex container per se. comfy rig at a very good rate. only problem i have heard of: people tend to overstuff the vortex - read: maximum sized main & reserve in minimum sized rigs. plus riggers have to know their stuff to pack it neat - which equals to a very thight packjob resulting in higher pullforces on the reserve. so best check with yur local rigger on that specific gear.

after reading the title I wanted to answer with "what an idiotic question".... but Skratch and you said all what I had in my mind but haven't had the words for and that will be one of my fav quotes

as I had the opportunity to pack an "open" bag with brand new velcro with a fairly new canopy this weekend I'll have to say that I actually like packing these kind of pods. once you get the trick its simple and quick

so that means I'll still have to wait. but thanks for the answers so far

so has anyone had their hands on one of these except for skydive expo yet? any real life experience jumping? plz could we leave the brandwar shit out of this one?!? thx! The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

forget braces, taping is the way to go! only problem would be to get a physio who knows his shit and uses K-Tapes (elastic!) or something similar, that gives you support but doesn't hinder your movement. do NOT use non-flexible tapes. plus: get specific exercise from/with a physio NO weights and stuff on your own, you'll ruin more than you will know The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

one thing I do not get at all: strongs sidespin-recoveryvideo has been around for a really long time now, so TI's and foremost I/E's should be familiar with the technique of getting out of a sidespin. if not it should be at least reviewed on safety day and - if you have such a thing on your DZ while doing refresher-training....

nice pics

I think the logic of the bag with velcro is that it enables a "clean" packjob with the corners evenly stuffed (vs a "football-packjob") plus it boils down to what you are used to: if you never had the chance (or bad opportunity ) to pack a bag with the velcro still open, you will have problems closing it properly, simply because you don't know how to handle the stuff. reminds me of the pain of learning how to pack in the first place The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666

also check the line attachement on the canopy from time to time. mind that there are stiches/bartacks/fingertraps used. know what they should look like to know what you are looking at, when somethings is starting to wear The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666
