Brooke was always a happy smile, any time I saw her at and off the DZ. She was the surgical nurse during my surgery, both on my ankle and my knee, and was helping me on every visit I had to the doctor during my recovery. Motivating and helpfull in any way. Everyone who knew her understands what a happy person Brooke was, and how she could make anyone smile. Those who never got to meet her, have missed out on a very special person. I am happy I got to give her a hug, wish a merry Christmas and thank her for the Christmas card she sent our house. All right before getting on the same last load as her. My thoughts go out to Brooke's family, co-workers, and her friends and bestest friends. It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

Really looking forward to seeing the final result.

Screw 'em. If you explore your canopy, and fly it out in all of it's areas, you are doing what's right. Being at a large DZ, I see plenty of skydivers, even on mid-hundred canopies, not being able to stand up their landings. It's not the canopy's fault or the winds, it's just a matter of having a canopy that fits you and your skill level. Remember; canopy flight is more than just landings. Oh, and if you get to the point where you get interest in swooping, the 210 can make a decent swoop too if you play it well. It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach.

A couple of questions, prior to having a suggestion: - What setting is the AltiTrack on in regards to "dive type"?? (Find this in the setup, can be for example 0 (standard), STU (student), SLO (slow)) - Do you use it to log free fall only, or free fall and canopy flight?? - When playing back the jump, you will be able to see the altitude of your min/max speeds. At what part of the jump does this occur (start/middle/at opening)?? Any questions, feel free to PM me

I second that! He (and Ellie) also informed of the necessity and structure of the practice jumps prior to the course, so it was clear when signing up. Ron, I'm sure you would like my partner I had on the double-jumpmaster dives. Good communication It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

I'm not sure what you mean by "more from the front so you see the cell openings" and "from above with the subject in a diving turn", since they would contradict. What Aerodyne photo?? The one shot from underneath?? It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

This is correct. The TAS is the "True Airspeed" at any altitude = the vertical speed of an object relative to the surrounding air, regardless of the altitude. Remember that this naturally will change during the skydive (because of the air pressure change, and change in air resistance). Therefore the first half of a skydive will register "faster" than the second part when using TAS. This makes some people complain about their ProTrack showing that the base of the skydive slowed down in the end (Who hasn't heard that excuse? ). Using SAS this can be avoided, since all altitudes are adjusted as if the complete skydive had been performed at a fixed air pressure and a fixed temperature, which corresponds to 4,000 feet ASL. L&B has choosen 4000 feet, since most skydives ends around that altitude (not addressing all the low pullers out there ) Anyways, conclusion is; TAS shows your speed in relation to your current altitude, SAS adjusts to one specific altitude, and is a lot more comparable. Do I make sense at all???

When I was working as a packer, I saw rigs once in a while where bridles where routed over/around the pin when stowing it. I asked a few of the jumpers whether they were aware of this, and they all put it down as important, since the pin was curved and not able to snag. Personally I always place the pin pointing to one side, and route the bridle to the other side without crossing or being on top of the pin. Another type of PC-in-tow I witnessed a couple of years ago: The loop on the rig was not tightened up very well, and ended up being on the wrong(!) side of the eye of the pin. Since a pin check was done on the ground and in the plane, it is believed that the bridle snagged on the pin, causing the pin to lift up like a lever (because of the loose loop) and letting the loop slide over the eye. Another reminder for tight loops. (See attached drawing for better idea) It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

Had about 400-ish jumps on mine, and only had a bit of it come off because my hand got stuck on exit. The rest was fine, and was like normal wear. It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

Dude, you are right! I just saw the catalog today, and the handle is in place now. I am not 100% sure, but pretty much, that there is an original with the handle out. That original, or one from same jump, was on the cover of a magazine. Can't remember which. Anyone knows??? I guess ParaGear most likely did not follow: "We look for photos that have not been previously published and most likely would not accept them if they have, as we want a photo that no one else has seen yet" for the selection It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach.

Norwegians do not always fasten their cut away handle..... So I bet you will find one that is loose on that photo It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

Actually, the instructor is needed to help the chicken cross the road, and even solve the old mystery as to why it does that? I mean, who hasn't been asked "why did the chicken cross the road?". Well, ASK DANNY!!!! It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

I am sure the right people, who have practiced it for years, will come to the surface considering the potential of that sport. Oh... I am up for the rating as well! I just went across the street to get a coke. I looked twice before crossing, and had ONE(!) eye closed. Man, this is not stuff for kids. I have no idea where Danny got the courage to do it.

Damn.... Do you know where Danny has learned to do crazy shit like running across the street WITHOUT LOOKING???? I bet there are high quality instructors out there in that discipline, that might even need a gear sponsor??? Maybe we can make a "Crossing streets" section here at DZ.com, if it is not too extreme...??? It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

Word!

Woooooow.... Easy now. If you don't agree on his points, let him know in a nice way. People who are not very experienced, might remember some of the advice the rest of us have started to forget/neglect. As an example; A student I had, made a very important point to a more experienced skydiver who instantly told him off. Result: Cypres fire at 8.000 feet, which could have been avoided. I am not about to lecture you, you can do as you please. I know I'm still learning. Yes, I agree. They are not the only ones, but they were 2 of the first I learned, and I still use them. Back on topic: I do 270s at the moment. I like them, and I get to do a nice setup. I progressed one step at a time, and tried to focus on one issue at a time. By this, I mean 45-90-120-180-270. I spend a long time on 180s, because I went on to do rear riser input on landings. I believe this is very important, so one does not have progression in turn and a new flaring technique to learn at the same time, and I give this advice to others as well (Some of you might have a different opinion) I felt the biggest step was the 180->270, because of the dynamics of if. Also, it is almost like a head shift, so you need to have a lot more focus on your surroundings (blind angels). I might advance to 450s in the future, but I will evaluate by then whether I actually will gain anything or I should stick to 270s. Oh, and I personally don't like the idea of a 360 It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

Well, why not.

I learned (and trained) this method: Look, look - grab, pull - grab, pull. But.... As I did my first chop, I used this one: Look, grab - look, grab - pull, pull My main thought afterwards was not how I grabbed the handles, but the fact that I had no doubt on which one to pull first! I blame this on training my EP (I touch/grab my handles in the order I need them before every jump) and I still use the first method described. When changing from D-ring to pillow handle on the reserve, I felt no need to change this. Also, I use the peeling movement as a twist in the wrist before/while pulling, so it's not a "seperate" part. Also, a good advice I use and give: If your reserve needs a repack, do a full EP ("live" speed) to get the precise feel of the force your handles need to be peeled and/or pulled. (Warn people behind you ) (Yes, it might seem obvious to some, but I've met people not thinking of this!) It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.

I agree on the answers so far. In Denmark we've had one for some years, and it is a nice plane with the only downside being the climb rate. (I mean, 30+ minutes to do a 4-way competition jump on a hot day??) Also, because of the construction/engine power, jumpers and pilot must be aware on loading the plane correct. Don't want it to fall out of the sky, do we?? Other than that it is very comfortable and fairly economic. (And I have sweeeeeet memories of this one being the first "big" plane I jumped from) My favorite plane??? Anyone that will take me to a minimum of 5000 feet Actually I don't mind jumping from a small Cessna doing hop'n pops, but I prefer something like a Super Otter or LET-410 for altitude. (I'm more into sidedoor than tailgate if we do not include the sweeeeeeeeeeet C-130 Hercules) Edit: Oh, how could I forget Jan's Beech 99, flying in Europe. 15.000 feet in 9 minutes or so! *clicky* It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach.

I don't think he was referring to the team as being mine, but the pictures. There are a bunch of different teams there, and I can't be on all of them Yeah, Airspeed did some nice team landings, and they got the medals as well. Good job It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation.
