[That's not the point -- use the solo jumps to practice radical edge of control motions, just to get the feel of them, and what is too much. Use relative jumpers to determine slidage. quote] Why teach bad muscle memory from the begining? Do it right the first time! Get a coach (a good one) or go to the tunnel

Ok the first Video has just been uploaded at Skydivingmovies.com, Should be showing soon. Enjoy. More to come.... Thomas.

Ok to answer a few questions: We are competing in Intermediate and will be a guest team due to 2 of the members competing at Gap in 2003 for another country. We would like to have the video on the bottom by the time we get to Nationals but right now it is hard for the video as we move around quite a lot. So right now they are on top. We started with just one exit, a mix between a 4 way train and a diamond, but are now evolving to launching pretty much all the exits. We are using the booties the same way that we use them on our belly's cupping and deflecting air. we dont have any extra straps to keep them on as they all fit very well. We all use different manufacturers for suits due to sponsorships outside of Black Magick. Hope this answers a few questions. There will be video within the next few days on Skyleague.com I will try to post when it is up. Thomas

There is a new project coming out of Skydive Deland, Black Magick. Team Members are; Joey Jones (former Deland Majik), Thomas Hughes (British National Team, Arizona Blade), Juliana Se (Former Brazilian National Team-freefly, Participant of FS World record 300 & 357 way), and Joao Tambor (Former Brazilian National Champion-freefly and the driving force behind the development of Skydive University's back fly DVD) The skills acquired through our training and coaching at SkyVenture have been paramount in the creation of this team. People have been flying on their backs for years, and finally after seven years of training has a back flying formation skydiving team emerged. We have 31 jumps and about 3 hours of wind tunnel time and are completing 3 points (randoms only) in time. We are using regular competition Bootie suits and may decide to add a gripper on the bottom of the calf for easier cat grips. Sunpath has provided us with tunnel rigs (no canopies). As Far as freefall is concerned, besides paying more attention to how my pilot chute is packed, I am not modifying my rig at all. We have another 100+ jumps and 10 hours of tunnel planned. And have no idea of what is possible. At this point the thought of attempting block 22 is barely imaginable. Irrespective of how we are doing we will be competing at the June 18th FSL and the USPA Nationals. Check NSL News for upcoming video and we will do our best to answer any dropzone.com questions.

Quote Rage in 2000 Nats did a 15.3 avg in intermediate with 100 jumps together exits were all fine for the last 75 jumps together. some of the people onthe team had less than 500 jumps, one had less than 200 how would you explain that. besides lots of time in the tunnel? Which they all had. Exits and entrys to the tunnel are all relevant just on a different angle.

Send me an email at [email protected] and I will explain how to get a job thereQuote

I put about 100 jumps on an early revision of the Katana and it is well worth the wait.

wow That is all I can say to that. We will have to ask Wendy if she has done better today.

I have seen Wendy go 576' on 5 foot gates and also 776' on 20 foot gates. Beat that. Go wendy P.s she stood them both up.
