Joe Jenning's Good Stuff video has some of that. I don't know about youtube, but probably it is there to be found.

How did you make this conclusion? Because of all the stuff I learned in math and physics and knowing first hand that a dive and flatten out track can get to a point faster than a flat track. . What stuff that you learned supports that? How do you know diving first gets you to a point faster?

Cool stuff. Now get about three experienced jumpers together and tell them you want to do a "pull out". What is a pull out? When flying with a group, one person deploys while right next to the others - getting pulled out of the formation.

I think the argument with the OP is not about whether a substantial angle relative to the horizon is good. I think the controversy is whether starting with a substantial dive relative to the remaining formation (substantial dive meaning the result is a much lower position) is better. I think it is not, and some big way organizers would say that on break off you should actually rise up as you turn and track, and that tracking can be at a slower, or at least not much faster fall rate than before. Some of those in your picture show that. 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 disagree but also don'[t really care. I have studied the aerodynamics so I can be familiar with them on solos (off of cliffs) when the time comes. I have no experience with tracking in big ways like I already admitted so obviously people like bill von will be better. I know what I have studied though is that speed will translate into more lift which will equal further horizontal distance. you will arrive at deployment altitude faster and be further from your starting point. Your understanding of general concepts is being applied incorrectly. A wingsuiter may go into a dive and then flatten out in order to achieve a very slow fall rate for a short time. That does not mean they will cover a certain horizontal distance faster. What a wingsuiter might do in the early stages of a base jump should not be considered applicable to tracking away on a skydive.

Perhaps you've been listening to the atmonuti crowd, or maybe just trying to apply theory to a complex reality of skydiving, but don't trust either. Fortunately it isn't necessary to understand physics, just realize that the best in the world do NOT do anything like a dive as you describe. Emulate them and listen to others describing the basics of how it is done rather than try to figure out a secret that others have not realized. Everyone that I've seen that is lousy at tracking does seem to lose a lot of altitude compared to those that are tracking well and leaving them behind.

The smell of jet fuel will be in the air at Skydive Columbus! http://www.skydivecmh.com/ A really nice caravan (Skydive Chicago's) will be there for the weekend starting Friday at 4 (weather permitting).

Holy smokes, I honestly _never_ thought of this as an issue. But it makes sense! Wow. Things I Learned today. I like the idea of the no tab style also, but getting the tab style to retract enough that the tab itself is partially withdrawn into the slider will help reduce the possibility of a hang up.

IF 'JoeBob' is who I think it is...hats off for stickin' with it when other would have thrown in the towel. Perseverance often times trumps 'natural' talent! First time I went to Marana in the mid 80s, I met an old fixture (very experienced) there that told the story of his first 5 or 6 jumps and that he used his reserve on each of them. Of course it seemed impossible to have so many malfunctions in a row. After a short pause to allow us to wonder, he told us how he would count to 5 in about 1 second (static line procedures) and then pull his reserve without hesitation.

Using such wide, therefore strong bands reinforces my opinion that it is a lousy philosophy to think that you want locking stows to be able to break so as to prevent a bag lock malfunction. Rubber bands quickly get nicked/cut/flaws that I think may them too likely to break when you don't want them to - right when the most stress is on them.

Following the first down is not always simple. It is very easy for more than one person to be landing (first) at nearly the same time. Requiring people to focus on the first down takes their attention away from where they should be focused - the others around them. First down rules suck, in my opinion.

The P40 was never more than mediocre. The 6 .50 machine guns were completely ordinary for the day.

Since you apparently have money to burn... Don't neglect to get a good belly flying suit (RW for us old guys). Don't be one of those that tries to rush into doing freeflying before you get very competent at flying flat. Nothing wrong with doing some of both in a wise manner with proper guidance, but don't neglect the basics. Does Sq1 still allow you to jump their rigs when you have a rig on order?
