video excerpts from "Outrageous Pack Jobs and Canopy Control"

[peek 21]

I finally edited for brevity and made a file of the video
I showed during my presentation at the 2003 Parachute Industry Association Symposium, called "Outrageous Pack Jobs and Canopy Control".

(It sure looked a lot better on my computer, I guess YouTube leaves something to be desired.)

That was pretty cool. I used to experiment a lot with my Stiletto and my Xaos 27 cell by stack packing, roll packing, rolling the nose, rolling one side of the nose...etc and sure enough they worked fine. It was often just to prove a point.

The stackpack you use for that clip is pretty funny.

Nice job, I'd like to see the rest.

My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

That's about it. The rest was slow motion and repetitions to play while I talked.

Wow, that second pack job adds whole new meaning to the term 'trash pack'! And the opening was just fine!

Maybe my girlfriend is right, and I'm way too anal about packing.

Nice work, thanks for sharing that!

Yeah I showed that to some rookies here who were worried about their pack jobs! They felt better! I also laugh at folks who are so paranoid about tying their risers together but they're jumping big 7 cells and such :-) They never believe me when I tell em it doesn't matter!

It's cool considering I jump the same canopy - Stiletto 150, at similar wing loading.

Somewhat comforting I guess.
