    1. Sit to Head backflip and flock than track 2. Sit to Head front flip and flock than track. Those two seems most easiest and logical. turn 180 feet first than what??? do the twisty thing and go forward on your head?? than sounds way more chaotic, and most will find feet first very ineffective and transition to head while in that awkward forward motion will be difficult. A lot of people now days are proficient with backflip or front flip to head from sit, thanks to tunnel. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Neither for me. Get infinity or vector. If my only choice were Icon and Odyssey. I would buy Odyssey. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    If you arch thru the opening and have your body relatively straight you won't have issue. if you go completely limp like some tandem students, you'll have chance of jack knifing thru the leg strap. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    any big dz with good weather will be able to offer you that program. First 8 level plus 2 solo jumps would take at least 3 days to finish, and rest 15 jumps in 4 days. Or I guess you can do 17 solo hop and pops to make things easier, and faster, they don't have to be full altitude. and learning how to pack parachute typically takes anywhere from 3 hour to all day, depending on personality. Idea of cramming into one week schedule is a poor one for many people. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Some gopro cases are made stronger or weaker than others. I still think that some may never break off in time. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Has anyone thought of backsliding to begin with and do front flip into Head and get flatten out??? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    That is one of the best handy cam I've seen. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I don't get this, they all turn at the same speed, because I can control how fast i turn with my toggles. Canopy with shorter control line may seem to turn quicker even on a same canopy. On all canopies that I jump I like to have no input until about shoulder level. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Headdown approach should be allowed. Even the big way belly jumps starts out as a head down and they still count. Approach on head and transition and sting on your feet would result in bigger formation I believe. still very interesting big way formation. break off on bigger way sit would bring some head ache tho. do you front flip into head and than break off??? or do you turn 180 in a sit than front flip to had than break off??? I predict nothing bigger than 60 way for a long long time. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    those are some great handy cam shots. strong system doesn't require ti's to do handle check??? sigma system certainly does, and it only takes no more than 3-5 sec to complete to handle check. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Only ones that can shoot great handy cam are those Ti that are taller than 6 foot and have great arm reach. Even so, they are stuck to one or two angle thru the free fall, one angle a being ti's arm over the student's shoulder, angle two, ti's arm being under the student's armpit. With angle two, you are almost guaranteed to have your arm trapped after opening. I wish my dz gets rid of handy cam. It takes a lot of jump away from much capable outside video grapher, and they sell handy cam by showing what the best can do, not the average ti can do. Average ti, who is shorter than 5'8" and or have shorter arm reach, their video tends to be face shot the whole freaking time. I don't mind shooting with handy cam at all, and in fact even if I don't have handy cam my left hand stays at the same spot thru the jump, seems like I just got used to flying that way.

    just don't flair anymore than chest level, you'll be fine. wait until you get to the ground, and very short stab, and plf. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    I don't see what the big deal is with jumping at lodi. Cheap as hell, and they do have talented people jumping over there consistently. other than landing area being tiny, lodi isn't bad. I'm pretty sure, Bill doesn't wanna total his Twin Otter and does enough maintenance to keep em flying. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    Pdr 113 packs more like smart 120. And pdr 126 packs more like smart 135. Buy op 143. Much better flight at heavy wingloading. If you aren't loading above 1.75 i guess it doesn't matter. I have smart 120 for sale btw, have one ride for sure, and i'm selling it for 700. But too bad you are in oversea. Anyone near Perris area that wants smart 120 contact me.

    On your second slider that you tried, how is that hard opening when you can look up at the canopy???? watch some of this guys opening, now that is opening some should complain about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA5BWTutbQ0 this guy is character of its own too, this canopy doesn't swoop for shit, and thinks that it is badass swooping wing, and even after repeated slammer, he continues to look up at the canopy.

    it is not gonna one of those, building a belly round and sitting it out right???? people should have freedom to choose the orientation to approach the formation but need to build the formation from sit. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    How else are you gonna get your face shot when you are swooping down the mountain??? Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    omg, try dealing with real packer in real life. i used to be one of them, as in packers. me and other guy will make you so uncomfortable hanging out dz that you wish you had a hemorrhoid instead. Good packers can not only can pack 5 in 20 min, but they are very good at defending what they have as well. and I used to be a good one, a very good one. I'm just giving you a reality kid. But in reality, in order to get a job at dz, you just gotta show up, and show up, and show up until they get sick of you and show up more, and you'll shoot video and do tandems one day, and that is if you have adequate air and social skill.

    it amuses me to see sooooooooo many people think they can just waltz in to any dz and start packing. and also so many suggestion from nonprofessional skydivers that they think they know everything and suggest packing as a first job at dz. local packers are gonna eat you alive,, son.

    a lot of times, lots of Ti will agree that less you teach em the better. Having said that, there is 15 min ride up., you can cover most of the basics in 15 min. Bernie Sanders for President 2016

    safire 2 should be good opening canopy regardless of the pack job. I'd check the specs if I were you, these aren't machine built, sometimes error occurs. Bernie Sanders for President 2016
