Yeah....soft landings? How do you do it?
shah269 replied to shah269's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
You don't say...looking at right leg! Hell half flare doesn't even work on these things! And I think that's where I was. Down draft was bringing me down, too much info to process at wonce and my hands didn't pass my belt line. Which for this fat bird was half flare!

No...I miss it like you have no idea! I wish I could go and take calsses to day but...bones be broken and kenee be off. I just want to land as soft as can be. I want to be the last guy on the ground.

Exactly! It's too bad so many guys have an issue with kissing a woman after she's gone down on them. I'm cool with it. It would be rude not to.

mdrejhon I'm also 190lbs with out my rig. Do you think I still qualify as lightly loaded? And yes...the thing needed aggressive flares to do anything. Ok thank you so much for your help. I'll relay this info back to the DZ. I can't wait till i jump next spring. Shah Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I'm so good I scream my own name. My wife and I are on defferent boats when it comes to sex. I need it every day at a minimum and well....she is just fine with once a week.

A 265 Falcon. No clue as to the number of jumps on her. But I think she may be a little old. Man why can't I have landings as soft as the girl in the video. I just want to walk away.

I don't know Dave. I mean ok you can be a total squid and high side your way into the local fivebucks. But man there is just way more controll on a bike. You have more options. I never felt as if I had that many options underthe silk. It was all risk mitigation. But I'm in deep need of some classes to lean how to properly fly this thing. Because I'll be honest with you Dave....I love the free fall! I have never in my life felt so at ease with the universe than I did when I was free falling. But anything after 5kft....that was just work! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I broke my tib fib and no my ankle thank god! I hear ankle take ages to heal and some times never do! Solid bones do a much better job getting back to normal. And well in this time i've had time to think about stuff. NO WAY IN HELL WILL I EVER SWOOP! I have a freaking bike for that! Just get me down from 5k ft to 0ft in the sftest safest manner possible! And I have to figure this out ASAP if I am ever to jump again. If this means only jumping in low wind conditions so be it! I'll BBQ at the DZ till the weather catches up to me.

I'm still waiting on data as to what I jumped with. But so far I haven't gotten any data. Oddly no one is telling me...which is kind of strange. But I'm sure it's because they are just too busy. But yeah I'm looking to "walk" away from my landings. No need to swoop...I have a motorcycle for that!

Like this?? http://www.sirlistalot.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/furries-wrong.jpg Is it wrong if I'm turned on by this? Yeah....I'm going to have to get back into it slow. I have to learn how to land frist before I can flyagain. Here is hoping for a furry....i mean full recovery

OK went in for my post up ande my "rod" is doing well. According to the Dr. out of a 10 I had a solid 8 in terms of damage....thought I have to admit...the Xray didn't look that bad! I mean all the parts were there, the skin didn't brake? Any how so......now I'm icing my leg to help in the haling process but can't help but think....yeah OK I would love to jump again....my god...I miss the flying and the tracking and the turning and the small at 11k ft! But that landing.......I'm starting to have issue. I'm going to talk to my DZ to see if they have any cources but.....when I dropped my bike it was my fault. But when I came down was it 100% my fault? Sorry about the rambling. Just wanted to say thank you so much for you + words and all the virtual hugs and an extra thanks for all the virtual ass grabs!

Daver, roger that. I had my issue at Sussex on what I think is or was a very old gear. I know when I go back I'll be asking for the much much newere stuff that doesn't fall from the sky in the last 50ft. But I'll do some reading and a lot of PLF falls till then. I'll also ask a few friends to record my landings for me so I can learn from my mistakes. God I love free fall! I LOVE IT! I absolutely hate everything after that! It's as if I just don't have enough time to process what's going on! And so this, half flare, stabilize, review the situation and land full flare may be more for me. Shah knowing the gear of which you speak bring your log book to the ranch there is much better gear there. Do you remember which direction the wind was coming from on your landing that you hurt yourself on? from the road, the runway, the bar or the tarmac? (I have worked at both dropzones and used to pack that gear, and do coach at the ranch on the weekends now so you can know where I am at) Dave Pre take off the winds were comming down the runway at a good clip. The tandems were comming to almost standstill ladings. So that should have been a hint that it was too windy for n00b like me. As for the rig? Yes I'm going to say it's the much much much older green rig. By the time I was at 700ft and feeling the turbulance....yeah that doesn't feel good at all! the winds were comming from the bar and I was running out of landing room. So I landed slightly off the wind facing into the road. At about 100 ft my brain started to fry, I was running out of landing strip, powerlines were comming at me hard and fast and I'm sure right about then I moved out of the PLF and lost focus. You guys and gals are all right! I need to take a lot of classes in learning how to controll my equipment. The free fall, I love, I.....enjoy, I understand! The cannopy....I just never felt comfy under it. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.
