would you fly video in CO just for a cool pond to train at?
marks replied to pope's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
I would consider it if I didn't own a house, but not just for swooping. I had a blast there, and I love the view. I also love to snowboard. I think that if your "training to swoop" for comps, then it doesn't really matter, where, just do it. If your not comfortable outside of your normal area, your not going to do too well anyway. once you have enough experience, making the adjustments for altitude changes comes very very easy, you just have to understand the perception of things. and if you can perceive the changes and understand them, you should do very well. If you like the mountains, and the outdoors, do it. that is a bad ass place to be. -

you can fly a caravan with half the load of a king air for the same cost, it is a good choice in airplanes for a starter turbin DZ.

of course it is a forced landing, what else you going to do? power up and do a go around? Im sure the law in the state is written like that because that seems very similar to how the feds put it.

very high quality, that is why the higher price, ouragon suits are similar in price and quality. I love the liquid sky suit, they are a new company, and the turnaround on your suit has been fairly quick. I know they are starting to get more buissness though, so im not sure what the turnaround is right now, you should email them and ask. www.liquidskysports.com

Ian Bobo will coach comp at Lake Wales
marks replied to chayes12's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
will he compete also? I would like a shot of winning some of the money he took from me back. -
Sorry this is off the subject but I'm really interested in this statement. Mark, can you reference what FAR you are talking about. I'm looking at my 2005 FAR/AIM and see nothing about it nor have I ever heard of such a thing in all the years I've been jumping and flying. In fact I've always heard quite the opposite about "farmer McNasty's" and know of several stories where skydivers have been fined for landing on private property. If what you're saying is correct I would like to know where it's written in case I ever need it. well, you always have to deal with farmer mcnasty. but somewhere in there, and im not to keen on going to look it up. but somewhere it sates something about an aircraft or some sort having to emergency land, and not being considered a trespasser by doing so. someone want to find it? Im just saying look into it further, I know it has been dealt with before.

these are cascaded lines, not continuous and they all broke just above the fingertrap. -
I would suggest looking further into it then, because that is the facts.
