    hows your accuracy with swooping... I spent enough time to learn swoop accuracy for lanes and finishing spot on my sabre 2 170 and then moved to the 150 for about another 100 jumps...then I went to the Crossfire 2... spend the time on accuracy learnign on the sabre 2 man you wont be dissapointed....

    I pay attention to what is happening on my level above me and below me while I am setting up... dont need a transparent cnaopy to figure that out... Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    here is what I will say having lived through that compressed/bulging disc thing... 1. spend 600 dollars on an elliptical for your home 2. Use it It helped me enormously Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    man that sounds like fun...wish I could come down for that... well after I get current and downt have tunnel time scheduled Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    absolutely...Its called saving yourself and your swoop at the same time... I have bailed out of my front risers and completed my turn using a shallower turn rate before whether it be harness or a combination of harness and rear risers... it allows one to bail out of their front riser turn and complete the turn using the shallower turn rate of a harness turn or a rear riser turn and still have a nice swoop.... saturday I actually was high on a turn so for fun I over rotated my turn and carved it out using first rears and then offset toggles to start the turn with a big carve to get on the proper agreed landing direction. If you are starting swooping get a coach and or get Brain Germain or Scott miller or Flight 1 or someone to teach you more...

    Good Post bill.... Another good thing to note is that if you spend the time learning different angle turns on your way to larger turns you will realize what the start of your release of turning input should be and you will realize that sometimes you set up for a 270 and can start the recovery not at 270 and then carve the turn around to proper landing direction.

    I aborted a swoop on saturday cause I didnt know what someone was doing that was below me... cant wait for the no traffic days of free hop and popss (videoing tandems) Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    I use a combo of rears harness to carve myself out sometimes...but I have to realize it early enough otherwise I have to go straight to toggles Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    risers on most elliptical canopies takes a bit longer to bring you out of dive...toggles will bring you back to level flight quickest... I suggest you read Brian Germains Book. http://www.bigairsportz.com Cheers Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    get ready to travel.... if you have no freefly coaches get youself to a place that does have them... it makes things a lot easier to fix then trying to fix bad habits later on in the skydiving career Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
  15. dharma1976
    at least enough to live hopefully, and I am living proof of that I hopped away from a bad hook turn with only a broken fibula if I hadnt wailed on both my toggles like my life depended on it I most likely would be a dead man instead of doing the dead man...

    We are telling them, with a very loud voice...you know the one thats green and paper and now goes to other dropzones in the winter.... Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    I am so over the bickering...I want to see bill von novak take on all the pro swoopers in the ring one by one... Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    I agree as well, knowing his home dropzone it will be hard to organize something like that as it is a very small dz on the jersey Shore... Brian does make appearances at Skies the Limit, and you can check his schedule at: http://www.bigairsportz.com/schedule.php Scott Miller does courses at the Ranch yearly and can be contacted through his website http://freedomofflight.tv/public/index.php?which=canopy Cheers Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    doing a line check can be done by yourself but it is a lot easier if you dont understand your canopy it is better to do it with a rigger first in the two perosn mode I can check lines in about a minute and it is always the last thing I do whenever I do anything involving placing lines on risers Dave http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.

    I think you must have a short torso then cause I think crystal is like 2 inches shorter than you :-P (and since I prefer brunettes in my opinion hotter :-P) Dave Edit to add that I prefer brunettes and therefor am not a gentleman http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing.
