Just doing one BASE jump. Low jump #'s, Uncurrent, Bridge Day: Am I Wrong For This?

There's a yellow canopy that lands right after who I think is you. I am guessing it might be Brit?

Brit does fly a yellow Raven.

I did a 2-way with her where I went off backward videoing her exit... but that was later in the day. I'll take another look and see if I can find her jumps.

My canopy is black/gray alternating. I was wearing desert camo and a white video helmet.

But there is a two-way where some guy in a yellow top jumps initially doing a gainer. It looks like he over rotates and does two more gainers, but still over rotates and goes on his back, pulls and it looks like his canopy opens less than a second before he hits the water. The people editing the DVD made a point to show three different views

Yeah we're thinking of the same one I think. The last view shows him pulling just above the treeline.

I saw that and went HOLY S#$%!!!!!

I'll have to go back and re-count the delay but I'm pretty sure it was at least a solid 6, 6-1/2.

Then, I am 99% sure it's you. Check out the video. To me, it looks like the center of your canopy's leading edge does something funky right before you land. It could be an anomaly from turbulence, or maybe I was seeing things, but it certainly struck me when I saw it.

I just watched Brit's jump and you're not seeing things dude. Her hands were all the way up, she's in full flight after she's crossed the beach shore line about 20 feet above the ground when the center cell of her nose collapses and it causes the end cells to ever so briefly surge forward. Fortunately this collapse only lasts 1/2 a second or so and Brit's canopy then resumes normal flight and she lands. A second or so before this collapse, Brits can be seen making minor right toggle course corrections, but she's only moving her toggle an inch or so at a time and then she returns to full flight. So she must have hit some really compact yet intense rottors or something like that.

Weird stuff I say.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

And I thought I might have been seeing things. Well, that's what the voices in my head were telling me as i was typing, anyway.

Strange ass shit tho, i tell ya.
