    Tracking
  1. It went away completely around 10th jump. But it came back a few times: before first balloon jump (right before leaving the basket over fields) and before the first night jump (while boarding; also because it was very windy then). It wasn't the fear of stepping out per se anyway.
  2. Does tracking for efficiency qualify as a normal jump? I wonder how much useful info I could get from the real time feedback feature of Flysight during a 0.8-1.0:1 track. I will definitely hit that brand new variable-angle horizontal wind tunnel some day in the future when I can afford it but first I would like to give Flysight a try.
  3. Hi everyone! Last weekend a woman who was about to jump in a tandem with her friend in another one asked if it was possible to share a cameraman, she was clearly convinced that he could get back somehow and jump again... Hard to believe it wasn't a misunderstanding but when an instructor told her it was not possible to jump out of a plane and get back she replied: "Oh, really?". Skydiving is free. It's those pesky plane rides... It wasn't that stupid. In many countries skydiving was long considered a military activity so it was subsidized. Courses lasted for months and few were determined enough to get to actual jumping but you could basically do it for free.
