Tom, You just made my day

My first reaction to McConkey..Tard...was ...truly unsafe /only a maniac/ what is purpose except suicide?? Now, I've given my head a shake. Amazing how ones attitude/perception can change... That maniac (or genius?) finishing McConkey BASE? No doubt has studied to the extreme, researched, tested & tested under all conditions.... opened my eye to the unthinkable, impossible beyond imagination. Flat & Stable- with packed parachute for me thanx! Smiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

thanx, ...good pics! Curious about 1st ever Cave McConkey...amazing. Could you possibly explain the risk involved with unpacked canopy...and specifics? Can visualize off bridge...but not within walls at mouth of cave?? http://members.shaw.ca/idgraphics/bridgejump.html Smiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

Can't complain, its been so mild on the B.C. coast (Canada)........can't even ski Whistler yet. Where are you from?? sounds like the video I just watched called Fubar- you have to rent this one!...Terry and Dean in this show never stop givin'er...80 min. of druken chaos!! Will make you run to your beer box and shotgun one... http://www.fubar-themovie.com/content/open_high.html Smiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

Man- have learned big lesson here not to open attachments...had to trust and be brave! Thanx, this one was well worth it..

I accept & tolerate BASE, don't see anyway one could not. BASE jumpers are highly respected where I come from. Watching BASE jumpers I know develop with top of the line skydiving skills...canopy accuracy skills- they have worked hard to earn all the respect they deserve. I recall many years ago a group of us heading down to U.S. from Canada with a new jumper who wanted to purchase gear. At the d.z. the new jumper was invited to BASE and we all freaked....no way was he ready to try BASE, (he teases us about that to this day as has become the most experienced BASE jumper we know now.) The BASE jumpers I know still have their blood in skydiving- always there to take someone up for a tandem or AFF, do a RW jump/freefly/bird-man track/even rush to be part of team accuracy or CRW/ coach/do video/- they are main stream in the skydiving world. They share their BASE experience with all of us openly and also give back to skydiving community with their hearts --more than any other jumpers I know.

Ya! must feel great congrats Jess!! The closest I've come to freefly is to try and animate basic moves- my freefly page... http://members.shaw.ca/k.cox348/ Last jump this season Gary and I decided to launch with me holding onto his risers (he was infront of me, both standing in porter door with right foot on step / facing tail) we left in stand up bringing our right foot in to meet left. I brought my legs up to wrap around him, and arms out to sit fly together. What a riot! Hope to get down to some sun this winter (from Canada) and spend some time with freefly....

I have been searching for pics of Iceland and found some,...even a slide show of Reykjavik. Land of ice, fire and occasional sunshine has phenomenal beauty!! http://www.eas.ualberta.ca/elj/icepics/reyk.htm Your city has such colorful homes, never seen corrugated iron roofs, or turf built churches and homes- so many gorgeous churches! How high is steeple at top of Hallgrims? Landscape, glaciers, statues...unreal, puffins, horses........ Wanted to ask you about skydiving there, your d.z. and your jumps?? Attached some favorites so far of pics... what is the sculpture hrafna floki?

in my d.z. family..its the Russians that do the best at drinking/ even better than the alcoholics. My mom & dad don't drink often, I have type 1 diabetes (inject insulin daily since I was 10 yrs. old)...drinking doesn't get me drunk..just raises my blood sugar, so I have to then inject more insulin.,,boring. I do luv to smoke the weed, never have hangovers! Smiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

after my safety meeting: 1. my main is 150 triathlon and packing myself have consistently had beauty openings....someone else packed this. 2. good separation? can always improve that-re: just because it is only a 2-way shit can still happen. 3. research canopy collisions more until I can rehearse clearly- and be ready to execute plan. thanx for the link to previous thread, and all that replied- Smiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

hello, Recently I had a wake up call- deployed my main, my slider stayed up with canopy open on the right, snivelling on the left- slowly spiraling. My first experience with an opening like this in over 1,000 jumps. I had just been on a 2-way dive- separation was good. Canopy collisions are a reality and all should be prepared for one, have a plan, rehearse it, and then execute it. On opening I have always had good habit of immediately grabbing my rear risers and steering myself into clear airspace before stowing my slider and releasing my brakes. So- first off I was using left rear riser in attempt to get left cells to inflate, looking up at my canopy decided to unstow brakes, wompa! my canopy was flying straight..slider came down. Now I am face to face with my buddy flying straight towards me- grabbed my risers again and steered away to the right in time...... What if we had collided? Canopy wrap?....I know to make yourself big as possible with arms and legs to stop from going through lines- try to grab hold of other canopy and keep it down below me. Once canopy deflates if I am top jumper can climb out of it by sliding it off my body- being aware of my reserve & cutaway handles. Line wrap or entanglement?...I have a more difficult time trying to rehearse this. Those with experience or those into CReW would have more knowledge. Would be great to hear some info. from jumpers who have delt with this. Communication is vital and if jumpers are wearing full face ...???? very limited. Altitude permitting- climb out or cut away- hook knife as last resort. Don't panic, be aware of altitude and give enough time to cut away and deploy your reserve. If below 500, canopy transfer (deploy reserve & then jettison main).... can anyone add to this, ??? thanx Smiles[;) eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.
