How about your landing accuracy? What is the point going faster if you don't know where are you going to end up?

[airborne82nd 0]

can you be a bit more specific with your question.

what do you fly now how much do you weigh wing loading ect...

is it your canopy or are you renting something different all the time.

so assume your on a sabre2 right? have you just downsized?

first thing is to build consistancy in landings, good stand ups and accuracy.

a 118 jumps are a good number you got pied and your on your way to a c-licsence so your not a newbee but you still dont have that many jumps in total.

you have 118 jumps how many on that canopy?

once you get a canopy and put a good 50 jumps on it then you will have 168 jumps and thats still not a lot.

i say get comfortable and consistant with your canopy play with it up high riser turns ect..

is there anyone at your dz who swoops or any coach for canopy? ask them to watch you for a while see how your landing and see what tweaks or improvemnts you need under canopy. once your there then you can ask him whats the next step for you.

it is so important not to move on till you mastered your level and put more jumps under your belt. take it slow.

if you jump ahead too fast, your skills wont be ready and when everything goes and comes fast you can make the slightest mistake and get very hurt.

so right now find out where your at and what you can do to imporve.

One way to get better is to jump more.

Off topic a little form your original post, but you can do birman training with 200 jumps. You just need to find a BMI and a sabre2 is a nice canopy for wingsuit jump.

I think you may find a mentor closer and even more experience that I have. Keep on looking. BTW you may read the bible of swooping if you have time.
