Probably a dead bird because your cohorts might build the points around a stationary target - you.

How to prepare? Just have more confidence than is justified. Oh, and learn how to do a good flat track instead of just diving down away from people at the end of the jump. You got time for the rest later.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Naw, probably because you used to get a nifty award from the USPA for doing your first 4-way 4-point skydive. That award is now gone, hence "dead."

Atleast that's what I think they're talking about.


As for Crotalus01: Fawgidaboudit. Relax, do what you're supposed to do and what you practice in your dirt dive. Remember to watch across the formation and match levels. If you feel tension in the grips, its YOU, put your legs out and drive in. Leave the formation at the correct break off altitude, track HARD after turning 180 and deploy at your correct altitude.

Oh, most importantly, no matter what happens besure to smile because this stuff is fun and I bet you remember this skydive (good or bad) for a long time.B|
