  5. Skydiving is a sport of choice. The human brain generally can't reason until about the age of 10. Most children think that they are immortal, not realizing that they can die. You should not be jumping out of an aircraft if you havent considered that you may die on every jump. You need to make this decision for yourself, not just doing it because mommy or daddy think its cool. ParacleteXP
  6. Also Jeffro Provenzano and Roberta Mancino will be here organizing FF jumps and doing a canopy control camp. ParacleteXP
  7. Let's do it. Maybe even add some vertical transitions. ParacleteXP
  8. It starts with a good exit. This is made up of three things, timing, presentation of everyones body to the relative wind, and placement of the piece on the relative wind. Once the piece is launched the group must start flying right away and fix any timing, presentation, or placement mistakes. Then make a good decision on keying the formation to transition to point two. This is both an objective and subjective decision. Objective, are the grips on. Subjective, is everyone ready to go, someone may have the proper grips but be on their side in the formation, they're not ready. Lastly, isolate cross-referencing to the group and don't get tricked by the horizon. Alot of jumpers want to get belly to earth during this transition and that can cause huge levels to occur.
