  4. >I think I understand. Basically, my forward speed is already bled off because of the braking of a partial flare, but that my vertical speed is now resuming because of gravity because I paused my flare...and when I resume the flare, I no longer have enough forward speed to overcome the winds. I fly backwards as a result, when I try to zero-out my vertical speed with the resumed flare. (Note: This has never happened to me before. My last backwards landing was under a Manta, the flare was a single motion, and that landing was standup running backwards.) < Great. you understood what I was trying to say. Gone fishing

  8. It's normall for the newer jumpers to have some trouble with low or nil winds, Thats because your coming in faster an the eye isn't used to guaging the relation of speed vs hight, IE: flare to early or flare to late, Practice will take care of that. When jumping in higher winds an you flare to high, stopping your flare for a second or two will result in your canopy running out of steam, When you restart the flare the wind may be enough to push you backwards, I wish I was elequent enough to explain it better, I'm shure someone on the board will explain better Suffice to say at your level it's not a good habbit to get into Zep. Gone fishing
  9. Your legs may tell you it was OK, But if you don't get out of the habbit of doing it further on down the road, jumping in higher winds you'll get dumped on your butt, Gone fishing

  18. I dont' trust it, but after a freefall collision it would be nice to wake up Is'nt it just the Lemmings that wear 1.8 reserves Gone fishing
  19. I think price has a lot to do with it, I'm not going to discuss the logic, but a lot of people belive that sh*t won't happen to them, So if they are not obliged to wear one they don't. Many years ago(before modern AAD's) at a Belguim Herc boogie I was knocked out on exit an fell 6000ft unconcious, you'd think that after that experience when the cypres became available I'd of bought one, No I didn't want to spend the money because to me they were an expensive new toy, Also back then for most of our canopies were F111, An some of us regually took them down to 1500 or lower, Now I wouldn't dream of taking a ZP below 2500ft, I normally open now at 3 Times have changed, Attitudes have changed. I decided to wear one after getting into freefly. and a heated conversation with Rainier at Empuria. Remember the AAD is thier as your last hope. I hope you never need it. Gone fishing
