Its Marko with a K. Thanks for all the love guys! ;) And i did not let go of the any toggles(if you watch the video closely which it sounds like you did....i did a hard toggle turn OBVIOUSLY....and what other way is there to do a flat turn when your really low and then FLARE!?! And i stood up the landing while holding my toggles all the way too there buddy!! Yeah im an idiot for what i did and what happened...if you read the other thread you see what i wrote in it...but for you all who want to see the video more here watch this so i can get some more hits on it, and my BASE videos also! ;) BTW: Watch it in HIGH QUALITY...its much easier to see what happened http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QECtqCRNKxs

people pay a minimum of 100$ an hour for a first time class which your in with 10 other people or a private one on one lesson....also on top of that you have to get a lift ticket which is about 60 bucks....its ridiculous how much they are paying

Been thinking about it alot as snowboarding season is about to start here in my area...is it possible to groundlaunch my safire 2 149...there are some pretty nice double black diamonds whee i ride! I dont want to take my rig with me and get it all dirty and wet for no reason...should i try it or just dont bother taking my rig with me? My snowboarding skills are above average! -

2 weeks ago i grabbed my risers on opening,,,,well i had a hard opening...the risers whipped my fingers on my left hand and broke my middle finger in 2 spots :(

I'm no expert of course but when I loosen my chest strap (after steerability check!), I reach down with both hands in the toggles like going into brakes and just mirror my movements on both sides. People have said that's not possible on a highly loaded canopy but I'm only loading at .97 at the moment so works for me. Not sure what your WL is but might be worth a try? yeah but i dont wanna be screwing around with the toggles in my hands by my camera helmet for a minute...next thing you know you can get lines wrapped around the camera or some freak accident may occur..... Why are you loosening your chest strap with 50 jumps? There really is no reason to open u your chest strap when you have a .97 WL. just my opinion!!
-
it is possible to remove them without taking your hands out of the toggles....but i cant remove them since they are prescription and i need them to see where everything and everyone is.....i didnt want to pull the toggles down to my face while i was holding the goggles out for a minute to remove the fog...
-
The only thing your wrong about there is a right hand turn...i posted what happened on youtube! I opened at 3500 feet....was doing some small turns up there...at about 1700 or so my goggles got very very fogged up and i could not see one thing...they are prescription and i cant fly without them....i took my hands out of the toggles...cleaned up the foggy goggles....grabbed the toggles....did a hard left turn...i did not move the right toggle at all....it threw me in a line twist...i chopped and thats what happened...
-
hey guys im the guy who had the video on youtube....the only reason i let go of the toggles was because my goggles were so fogged up i couldnt see anything out of them....so your telling me you would fly blind with your hands in your toggles...i think you would fix something that gave you visual problems under canopy
