My Grad jump video

Recommended Posts

Well I finally got a video card with Video in, so here is my Grad Jump. ftp://ftp.skydivingmovies.com/UPLOADS/Grad%20Jump.avi It's a little beefy (34 megs) and not a work of art. Actually it didn't capture very well, I'll have to figure out how to increase the quality. Before anyone comments on it, yes my JM pointed at his alti 'cause I lost awareness. It scared the shit out of me and won't happen again. And please don't make fun of my track :S LOL it's really bad.

Yeah, it took a bit to download. You look like an AFF grad!! A bit unstable, but stability will soon come. Congrats!!

Hey why does it look like your JM is doing a couple 360s after opening ? It is hard to tell if he does the 360s then pulls or pulls then spins. Any commentary on that part ?

Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast!
Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool!

I am only getting 8k a sec on my cable connectionB|B|


Viking, the 8k is due to the "skydivemovie" site.
I'm normally at 1.9Meg but, if the sites slow, that about it.[:/]

Yeah, I had to throttle the connection. I'd like to be able to throttle it with a single big number for the whole FTP site, that would mean that if there's two users on it'd still be real quick... but for complicated reasons I can't do that right now. I had to throttle it per user.

I will consider bumping it up a bit...

I didn't check my alti nearly enough. I looked before the turns, I looked before my track. That was it, and it wasn't good enough. My fallrate was faster than I thought and so I thought I had more alti. Also the post grad jump plan was to dock on my JM, so I was focusing on that and not alti. My HUGE mistake.

I did the same thing last weekend.I did'nt check my alti nearly enough.and on my docking I looked like I was on ice sliding in sideways.funny to watch the vid of it.then I had no track at all.I had to repeat the jump and did a little better on the 2nd attempt.But I still have alot of work and learning to go.Then there's always something new to learn.I got quite a bit of advise around the DZ today,a little on everything from dives to taking care of gear.(thanks for the advice Grant).

Keep your head up dude! Anyone asks, tell them you were practicing your "S" tracking technique! Just remember, THE most important part of the skydive is to pull the parachute!!
Congrats!!! In a few jumps you'll be laughing at your video over beers!!!
