Actually I aborted a few times at Perris because of different things on the ground. Everyone landing in that small grass strip makes for fun!!

Thanks :)

Who do I call to get my magazine sent to the right address?

Loading canopies too heavily isn't the problem. I watched more people at Perris just fly into the ground this last weekend than I have ever seen. Only using 1/3 of their flair capacity. Or not even that. Most of these people just don't know how to flare properly. They don't know the slow speed flight of their canopies. Rhino

Why don't you let others give you their opinions? Hook, Bytch, Phree, Diablopilot, Skycat, Lummy, JTVal, Viking, and on and on and on.. Ask what they think... What I can tell you is I spent ALOT of time under canopy. And I abort more than I swoop if ANYTHING goes wrong. Rhino

He got your cartwheel!! lol

I agree with Bytch on this one.. A couple of years ago I asked hooksnswoop the same question. Seeing him plummet that vx60 out of the air at 90 miles an hour makes anyone want to be like hook. When I asked him how to start or how to do that he gave me advice that was usefull instead of telling me I can't do something. It started with my Triathlon150 isn't a swoop canopy. He explained what a recovery arc is and why I would be likely to hurt myself under that canopy trying to hook. He explained the runway on a 180 hook to me so I wouldn't fly myself into the ground again and not have an out. These new jumpers are going to do it. They see someone else do it and they want to. It looks cool. They want to look cool too. So we have to teach them and try to slow them down keeping them out of the ER hoping their bag of experience fills up before their bag of luck runs out. What Bytch said.. Rhino

Personally I think MUCH MUCH more emphasis on canopy control should be included in AFF. Like maybe 5 hop-n-pops from altitude where TONS of flares and flat turns should be done. Building strength in the arms where it needs to be. Making the students feel more comfortable in the harness. Having done 5 hop-n-pops and flared 50 times or so will do WONDERS for new canopy pilots. It needs to be done in initial training not in gustapo canopy regulating. Rhino

The USPA will never go for it. Nor will the skydiving community. You cannot blanket judge jumpers like that. at 375 jumps I am at 1.95 and there I will stay. Having 375 jumps says NOTHING for my canopy skills. Rhino
