    backtrack advice

    Thanks ev1 for the replys... skyedivr, I want to achieve everything. I want to be able to go slow or fast or steep or flat when I say so. Right now Im just 'assuming the position' hehehe without really knowing the effects of changes in body position. Pendragon, I understand what youre saying and never thought the potatoe chipping was because of the shoulders. Ill keep my eyes on that. cutaway, Ive seen that movie 98761 times and I dont get tired. Ive been to Oahu 3 times to surf, before I started skydiving. If I visit again, Ill be honored to follow you over the north shore. Mahalo â nui for the tips This is for sure one of those 'practice makes perfect' things. Learning is fun. HISPA #93 DS #419.5

    backtrack advice

    So...Ive tried bout 12-15 times, each time getting better. I try to relax but I still feel Im stiff and my hands look weird hehe Besides keep on trying, what can I do to improve my flying? Do I look tense or not relax? Arms, legs, back, head, arch??? I really like tracking jumps and want to get good at leading them. Be honest please hehe I can take a punch if its for my own good. Heres last try: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40dYIdliy9Y HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  3. hehe We are all virgins to CF. I think Orlando is the only one thats been there. Hes the one that told us bout the good times. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  4. So, after the Summerfest incident, I doubt Orlando is going to CF. But theres about 8 of us still going. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  5. I ordered 1 last friday. Ill post pics in a couple more weeks. From the description on the EG website, I guess is very similar to the VKB guys track suits (see attachments) HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  6. OK...so the guy in the video is a friend. We have 'beer talked' about this incident many times. From what I can remember, he doesnt uses an RSL. (he jumps with camera). He decided to open the reserve at normal opening altitude because that was at the freefall convention and there was a lot of airplanes in the air. He thouht it would be a bad idea to be flying a canopy at 10000' without other pilots knowing about it.... By the way, 2 days ago he suffered an accident at Summerfest (not skydive related)...hes been in coma since then. So he cant chime in right now about the premi thing. Pray for his recovery....

  7. if it was me, i would rather use a spectre @ 1.6, than a velocity @ 2.3 no experience in any, just from what i read here and common sense HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  8. to add something, im always looking for good outs on the ride to altitute...just in case HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  9. i think he meant alone, like hes going to the dz by himself and he's the only one of all his friends making a jump enjoy! HISPA #93 DS #419.5

  11. I think that the 'trial and error' would be the most fun part....
  12. from that video, when you pshycopack, you uncollapse the pc after closing the bag? excuse my english, not sure if 'uncollapse' is a word HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  13. On PCASM.jpg...is that because of the wind coming from the left? If it is, was that the best option? Excuse my questions, Im just learning... .:BREAK:. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  14. Is she a girl called Tim or a guy with a hot avatar? HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  15. I think that it was a good idea by the TM to change the exit for the second try. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  16. video of baglock from out of seq deployment.... bag came out before pc. notice the container open from the exit. the baglock stood him up and he mantained almost same fall rate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rddYYoHhzjA&NR=1 HISPA #93 DS #419.5

  18. looking 'around' includes left, right, front, and behind HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  19. the white collar might get brown after 3 jumps HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  20. Right now I pay $45 ($135 x yr). If my rigger raise it to $67.50 ($135 x yr) I wont mind. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  21. There was a thread about this not long ago. Im bad seaching, but if Im not mistaken, the TM is his dad. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  22. Not boring to me either. What I meant is that even if its boring to him, he should do it and get good at it anyway. Then it will be easier and safer to learn FF...
  23. I've landed in the jump plane 3 times. Two for bad weather and 1 for pilot trainning. DZO asked for volunteers for the first drop of a new pilot and he was going to do a touch-n-go before going to altitude. And there were no free tickets. HISPA #93 DS #419.5
  24. First, you have to get goooood at the boring stuff to understand many things... HISPA #93 DS #419.5
