Talking about tube jumps. This was my "not quite my second" tube jump.

Only comment I have is to keep the tube all the in the plane till you leave, don't let it start to go early like it looked like you did (think premature release and over the tail it goes) and maybe keep from releasing it for about half a second longer. If you have a really long tube, low tail airplane or a second tube in the door with you, the extra delay is needed and you might as well start learning good habits now

Hey!!!

Very nice.

How did you like that opening? How did you manage on landing with a hand held tube? Interesting stuff.

Seems like I know that videographer. I would know that sleeve anywhere.

Did you ever get that 2nd rig??

So many questions...

I had a fairly good weekend, I made 5 on Sunday and just one on Sat. I hope you had a good one too.

Good to see you in the air again, even if its someones video. Yesterday -somehow- his camera was on night shot (Thank God) and mine was still on standy by, unfortunately. I was murdered in the door, 4 way gorilla with myself mashed and beaten by the back of the plane and door. Thank goodness for helmets. I could have used some body armor on my left side and arm as well. I thought I was dead down the hill. I realized I was not and joined that zoo dive again. I would have had some great shots of Levin and Eli against the sun backdrop and etc.

You know what they say about 'when all cameras go bad on a jump'. Its semi true.

Blue ones-
