countzero 7 #1 April 7, 2007 sometime ago i saw post that suggested jumping with a piece of paper or plastic streamer material as a tool to work on fall rate and proximity while on a solo jump. what kind of paper or streamer material is used? what size and shape should it be? any other tips on using this method to work on fall rate and proximity would also be greatly appreciated.diamonds are a dawgs best friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goobersnuftda 0 #3 April 7, 2007 Just under canopy. We have had jumpers try to jump with a magazine to get a shot of them in free fall and its tough to keep it in your hands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry you can not fall as fast/slow any paper thing can. There is a thing called skyball, a tennis ball sized of thing filled with lead. You can tune that with your freefall speed. The bad news is that you might not be allowed to use it everywhere. You might train your canopy/CRW skill with a paper streamer under canopy.

At your jump numbers and assumed skill level countzero you will not be allowed to use a skyball ANYWHERE not even on your belly (they are mostly used in freeflying).
