    Double bullshit. "Angled Walking" is nothing more than can be easily accomplished after a few beers / shots next to the bonfire. This is Drunkmonauti. I invented it almost 30 years ago. I use the increased gravitational spin of the planet to generate "anti-lift" and achieve maximum horizontal positioning relative to the ground. Oh yeah.. thanks for the laugh, Karl. Owned by Remi #?

    I can't speak for how other dropzones handle AFF jumps, but where I teach the first jump course takes about 6 hours, and then if the weather is cooperating the first jump and debrief can be done in about an hour. Each jump in the first 7 after that take roughly 45 minutes of ground time for training. Then we get people into the air as soon as we can. Sometimes that's right away, sometimes it takes a few hours. We can generally get a student's rig repacked while they are in training. Owned by Remi #?

    What country are you in? Most places in the US, the first jump course and first jump will take the better part of a day. Doing the first 2 or 3 on the first day might be possible but it's pushing it. A lot of people are fairly worn out after the course. Doing more than 2-3 a day after that (at first) is also pushing it. AFF is pretty stressful for a lot of people. It uses muscles and emotions that don't get much normal daily excerise 3-4 days is probably more realistic Owned by Remi #?

    Have you taken this concept to Burning Man? I have a feeling it would thrive there. Owned by Remi #?

    Well... not so fast. Whether or not your're required to do a tandem first depends on the dropzone you chose, so make sure you call and ask. Owned by Remi #?

    Smaller canopies fly and decend faster The more you value life without titanium, the larger your canopy choice vs your weight will be. Student canopies are trimmed to be forgiving of mistakes. Advanced canopies are trimmed to ignore mistakes in favor of titanium upgrades to the pilot. Owned by Remi #?

    I think it must be an account problem. I've tried several times since the video page was launched a few months ago and have never been able to access uploads. I've just never been motivated to ask why before. Owned by Remi #?
