Hey Ron, I do pretty much the same thing, the only other point I would add is that when I'm at the door and ready to exit, I take a deep breath and just relax. This helps me to overcome the urge to go over the line and just do the skydive to the best of my ability. Michael

Hey Bill, I know what you are talking about, whenever I fill in like that, my awareness of everything going on in the dive picks up 10 fold, and I find that just by using my clone I can figure everything out, and tend to go to my slot faster and more stable. It happens in 4-way just the same. This is what a the coaches want you too learn. LOOK (especially in 8-way). I don't know how you could incorporate the type of training you are talking about. But it is really FUN

My monitor did that to, after I thru it on the ground!

Here is Dan's plan. PERFORMANCE PLUS EVENTS, COACHING, ORGANIZING Perris Valley, California One thing we all love about skydiving is the constant challenge our sport presents. Whether we are working through the AFF program or training for the World Meet, much of our enjoyment and success comes from the opportunity we have to improve our flying skills on each and every jump. Few things can match the excitement of a student?s first good 360 and redock, a 4-way team?s first successful vertical transitions, or a young free flyer?s first headdown approach. In every discipline and at all levels, skydiving repeatedly offers these opportunities to learn and grow. You can always improve, and the more you do, the more fun you have. At Perris Valley we have a unique opportunity to advance our flying skills, and the fun factor associated with that, at an unprecedented rate. We have excellent facilities and beautiful weather. We have a fleet of fast, comfortable turbine aircraft. We have experts in every specific skydiving discipline. And now we have a vertical wind tunnel on site. PERRIS PERFORMANCE PLUS was formed as a way to offer Camps, Programs and Services that best combine and utilize all the assets and tools that Perris has to offer. In the coming months we will have various events that span across all freefall and canopy flight disciplines. In addition to our scheduled events we have coaches and organizers available to work with individuals, teams or groups, and to make your experience at Perris one of the most rewarding of your skydiving career. If you are coming to Perris alone for a day, bringing a group on vacation or training with your team, please contact us and let us show you just how much fun it can be when you have a chance to push your flying skills to an entirely new level. Performance Plus 4-Way / Tunnel Camp??..November 19 - 23. Flying one on one with a coach in the tunnel is unquestionably the most efficient way to train personal body flight skills. Making 4-Way jumps with a coach in the air to set the pace, fall rate and a high degree of control, is without a doubt the most effective way to perfect 4-way disciplines, habits and techniques. At these new five day camps you will be able to do it all. Bring your friends or come alone. This camp is designed to accommodate individuals, groups of 2 or 3, or complete 4-way teams. Individuals or Groups of 2 or 3. Very often we have friends that we like to jump with and might want to do a team with but we don?t have four. Camps like these have proven to be a great place to meet others that have the same passion for skydiving that we do. We will combine you with other participants of similar skill and experience. One of our Performance Plus coaches will complete your "team" as your fourth member. You will do some of the best 4-Way of your life, make new friends and may even end up with a team for the Nationals. 4-Way Teams - This is an ideal training opportunity for you. During the camp your coach will rotate through each individual?s slot. You will learn at a greatly accelerated pace with the coach in the air demonstrating and showing you what you need to do as opposed to only teaching from the ground. The cost for teams is the same as for 3 individuals. Areas of attention at our camps will include: -Personal Body Flight Skills -State of the art 4-Way flying skills, habits and techniques. -Proven systems for dirt diving and debriefing. -How to form, and keep a team together. -Visualization techniques. Coaching Staff Head Coach - Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld. Dan will be working with each group, assisting with dirt dives, debriefs and presenting seminar information. He will be an extra set of eyes looking in at all times and is likely to slip in for a jump here and there. Primary Coaches - In addition to Dan each group will have it?s own Primary Coach. These coaches are a team of World Class Competitors that have worked extensively with Dan and Airspeed. They have each had great success coaching in the air and tunnel. Primary Coaches - Christopher Irwin, Pat McGowan, Eric Gin, Andy Delk, Kai Wolf, Mike Kinswater. Included in the camp: -One hour of one on one coached tunnel time. (extra time is available) -24 4-Way jumps with a coach and video on every jump. (additional jumps available) -A video of all you jumps and tunnel training. -Breakfast each day. -Camp dinner. -Camp notebook. -Cost is $2075 *Space at this camp is limited to 18 slots. People coming as groups of more than one will have priority.* FFI. Contact Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld at: [email protected]

Do a google search on it. He's joking (I hope). To funny

Andy, I have the exact same stats, 5'6 125lbs. I used a vest at first and had to pack on mucho weights and it killed the shoulders by the end of the day. I switched to a weight belt and love it. I pretty much always wear 12lbs (4way,bigway.....). I do sometimes have to go as high as 18lbs when jumping with really fast 4ways. The belt is comfortable. I do wear it on the inside, only because it has one clip and I have this fear of it falling off. If I had two clips I would wear it on the outside, because as one person has said, you can remove it in an emergency. As far as the amount of weight, I have found that 12lbs gives me a nice neutral position with range in all directions. After awhile you will feel naked without them :)

Whit two days left. I would bet that they break the new record. Would need another aircraft. They would probably send the king air up.

Thats what I was wondering. Have the judges confirmed. And hear is a question. Does it matter if you have an inside leg grip, when you should of had the outside leg grip. I know that 4-way does not matter, so what about large formation dives?

I have to second that. the sunset shoot is fantastic. Keep them comming!

They should be fairly tight. Nothing worse than tracking from a formation and having to reach for the leg staps and bring them up. the most important thing is that they are even, uneven legstraps can cause off heading openings and worse, they can cuase line twists. You are on a larger canopie (good thing) so body shift weight it not a big deal, but can renerate a turn. there is no good thing about loose leg straps!! Have them fix it

Hey karla, come on down too perris. the rebels promise not too be easy on you.

Had a line over on my 6th AFF jump. It flew OK as long as I had the right toggle pulled almost all the way down. Instrutor saw it and said it was my choice, Cut it or land it. I landed it with no problem. Of course I weighed about 130 and was under a 210.

My experiance has been the following. spectr 107 at 1.5 - Harness does nothing without control input. crossfire 89 at 1.8 - Harness movements will affect the canopy. xaos 78 at 2.0 - Any harness movement will affect the canopy almost immediatly.
