Bagpipes & Bonfires 2023 - Level 2 Pro Rated Demo Jump
After working the ground crew for this demonstration jump in 2022, I set a goal to earn my PRO Rating and jump into it this year. Well, I made it happen!
This landing area is pretty large for a demo jump and was a great way to get myself acclimated with the planning process and emotions surrounding a demonstration jump.
Two of my close friends and mentors went along with me and it was truly an experience to behold!

SLTB 2023 3-Way Jump #2 Gus, Hemanth, Eric & Zach
Просмотров 174Год назад
This was our second jump of the SLTB 2023 - 3-Way Skills Camp. Gus (pink and black) had a bit of a hard time getting back to formation. This is due to the position of his arms, primarily.

SLTB - Solo Looking To Build SLTB is the FREE coaching event that I host monthly at Chicagoland Skydiving Center. Each month is a different topic (tracking, advanced turns, group skills, etc.), and it's open to people of all skills and jump numbers. Ideally the curriculum is focused on the newly licensed jumper, however it's also a low stress environment to work on coaching. SLTB events are com...
Tyler FU1 with Zach Foreman AFF Category A @ CSC
Просмотров 140Год назад
This was Tyler's first skydive with his own gear and he did fantastic! Overall, his body position is arched and stable for the entire skydive. His practices touches were a bit off target to begin, but that happens for most students. His third practice touch was on target for this pilot chute handle.
Skydiving Malfunctions - Crazy Line Twists & Low Altitude
Просмотров 13 тыс.Год назад
This was an everyday skydive. Nothing odd and just another jump... until things went wrong, and fast! The skydiver on this jumper was an advanced skydiver and their decision altitude was 1800ft. As you can see, they fought all the way until it was close, but should have cut away when they checked their altimeter the 3rd time. . Line twists are not often this bad and to be honest, the smarter de...
Close Call Skydiving - Crazy Close Opening- Almost Canopy Collision
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
Talk about a close call... The videographer is falling at 110mph and about to safely end their skydive, when another skydiver under canopy zips right in front of the videographer! At speeds like this, a collision is likely fatal. . At the end of each skydive, jumpers are taught to create separation from other. The videographer created the correct amount of separation from his group, but unbekno...
Skydiving AFF Category A / FU1 with Jon
Просмотров 15 тыс.3 года назад
This is Jon's first ever jump out of an airplane with his own parachute! Crazy! Jin was very responsive to the initial hand signal "legs out" to correct his leg position. Jon only performed two of the three practice touches from the dive flow, and had to have instructor assistance to find the pilot chute handle. He was altitude aware and did a great job at the bottom end of waving, reaching, an...

Joe flew a great left hand North pattern here at CSC. His flare was very well timed and he had a stand up landing.
Skydiving AFF Category F-2 with Joe Levels Up & Down
Просмотров 4,6 тыс.3 года назад
Joe did great on this jump. Our goal was to work on relative fall rate control (up & down movement). Joe, like most students struggled with de-arching to go "up" or slow his fall rate. He did a great job of staying relative to the coach throughout and a fantastic track away at the end.
Skydiving AFF Category F-2 with Joe and Vania Beginner Tracking
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.3 года назад
This jump was with a newly rated coach, Vania, to observe her skills teaching Joe how to improve his tracking. Vania struggled with adjusting her fall rate for the steepness of a typical student track. Joe improved on his heading control from the last jump to this one.
Skydiving AFF Category F Coach Jump with Joe and Dave
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.3 года назад
Dave is a new coach and was invited along to see how he performs on a coach jump, Category F with Joe. Joe does a pretty good job! Joe has good heading and altitude awareness. Joe's body position is pretty typical for a beginner student. To improve his tracking, his debrief would include slowing down the transition to tracking, working on understanding how to control heading while tracking, and...
A License Check Dive Skydiving with Joe from 9k
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.3 года назад
The A License Check Dive is the last required jump before you are eligible to apply for your license. A typical check dive includes a swoop to pin, two 360 turns, and an unstable maneuver before breakoff and a good track on breakoff. Joe kicked butt on his check dive and all of that from 9000 ft due to weather! Great job Joe!
Skydiving Gone Wrong AFF Category A / FU1 No Arch Flipped Rolled AFF Happens
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 года назад
Category A jumps are 90% of the time, uneventful. This jump however, was a bit of a roller coaster ride to start. The issue all stemmed from the students de-arched body position on exit. When I felt comfortable and would initiate a move to correct the student, he somehow found a way to become even more unstable, until at last, I got him on his belly. We still had plenty of time to perform the d...

Student Loses Goggles on First Jump - Category A - AFF Happens
He forgot his basic training. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.
I was taught in case of loss of goggles.....PULL.
ADD saved his butt.
Could this not have been avoided by simply priming the pin?
Hope he’s ok
My most adventurous skydives have always been with people from India and Pakistan!
How are you a licensed Sky Diver and not know your emergency procedures for line twists??? You pull the risers apart and bicycle kick, not whatever the fuck that was.
Please go over this, I plan on tandem but one day want to understand
He was purposely moving the twist lower to get better control of them. The guy has over 200 jumps compared to your 0.
He potato chipped.
I never ever failed to find the handle. Practiced it so many times.
I think he was fiddling too long with the handle. Once he couldn't pull it he should have put his arm back out to regain control then try again!
🤯 You humans are SOOOOOO *_weird!_* Also why so close to sunset?
it's called the sunset load.
🤣You humans are SOOOOOO *_weird!_*
You humans are SOOOOOO *_weird!_*
You humans are sooooOOooooOooo WEIRD!
nerve-wracking! 🤯
You resolve your twisted lines with kicking your knee in the direction to untwist the lines, doing it by hand was very dangerous.
Another clueless armchair jumper that does not understand what he was doing.
Learn in which direction to twist!🤦♂️
Nice!!
I had the same thing yesterday. I cut away at 1800. I recovered everything. I felt the same way when I had to cut away from line twists.
00:58 Under the sign of the cow! Former skydiver here, yap, at the beginning as a student there is a lot stress...
Is this in Chicago?
Shouldn’t you be able to see the big lake from Chicago? I am not sure though. Maybe I’m wrong
Don’t make satan sign before jump 😂
Another day at the office for the aff instructor
If at first you dont usually succeed, skydiving isnt for you
I remember when they taught us in training that part of our emergency procedures was to give our canopy the finger.
I think you made it worse by twisting it down before it stopped spinning
Nice job on that instructor giving it a little help. That student eas in good hands, when i started jumping it was 5 static line jumps with a DRCP. After that the freefall was just me and no instructor. I didn't even have an altimeter, i was told to count seconds off then deploy. That being said, i had a freekin blast. Skydiving is is pure freedom. And very safe statistically speaking. I made 166 jumps, which isnt alot, but i would love to do it again. Unfortunately im too heavy atm😢
the latest version of 'pull n' pray' non-catholic approach
Did his cypress fire?
When the coach is bending their knees while tracking is that to increase decent rate?
twist in the wrong direction......
Why was he twisting it worse?
That was what I saw. At @1:23 he went to do the right thing pulling the risers APART, but for some reason @1:25 right up to his middle finger at @1:38 he started to tighten the twist UP ? ? ? At first I thought he had done it deliberately to get some "body purchase" from which to kick the twists out. That seemed to "work" after @1:57. But it seemed a strange waste of 30seconds ? When it once happened to me, IMMEDIATE pulling apart the risers stopped the twisting, then holding them apart and "bicycling kicks" untwisted them as fast as they had twisted ? ? Made me realise how important a stable body position is at deployment ?
Body position!
"PLF" lol
AFFIs are primarily responsible for his gear too on Cat A...
Scary to see you above him while telling him to pull... track off man.
How did he even manage that?
this will make sense to a very few people, if your stable BUT UPSIDE DOWN..when you deploy your chute it appears like the chute is opening straight down between your legs..No B.S.😢think about it.🎉.
Which Camera model was it filmed?
So, yeah, I did it the old fashioned way. Quite a few static line jumps on round canopies. Dummy pulls 3 in a row for an instructor. Then a first free fall on a 3 count. (One thousand Look thousand In thousand Pull) ...then 5 second delay....10 second delay etc. by the time you are doing 30 second delays from 8500 you KNOW how to fall stable and pull stable with a drilled wave-off. And Christ help you if you were a student and pulled below 3500. Do it twice and get grounded for a month. I watch a few skydive vids on here and so often I see people dump in a track no wave off no looking where the hell is the other guy. But I WILL say I see people doing things in free-fall that was Unknown in the 80s and 90s. 🙂
And that's how you get your cardio in while skydiving. I've had many line twists. Always got out of them.
Horse AFF instructor
Left out the part where the stuident started tracking straight down jump run
Was it his AAD that deployed the chute
When I pause it right at the pull it looks like his right knee is dropped and his left knee is raised. Is that what caused the initial spin?
Semi delta position?
I hate how the next video screens pop up in the middle of the parachute deployment. Maybe add some dead screen time to the end of the video. I guess it doesn't matter due to being 3 years old at this point.
I got 206 jumps but the last one was 25 years ago, haha! I just couldn't progress with the relative work and finally hung it up. So, some experience, but not compared to the AFF instructors who've got thousands of jumps! So, I comment/ask with all humility & respect. At 1:19 the student attempts to deploy, becomes unstable and ultimately flips over onto his back at 1:24. As I recall, students generally deploy at 5,500 ft and fall approximately 1000 ft every 6 seconds. So maybe the instructor can allow 12 seconds for the student to recover and deploy before he moves in and pulls the students rip cord? You know, give the student a chance to prove he can save his own life. At 1:33 in the video, it appears the student has his hand on his rip cord and within the same second the instructor deployed his chute. At this juncture the student is well below the instructor. Looks like the student totally got away from him. It appears the instructor deployed before the student but hard to tell as links to other video's pop-up & overlay the main video thereby blocking the view. That "arghh" the instructors makes under canopy suggests to me that he himself was scared. That he almost lost a student! Anyway, should've the instructor docked on him the moment he flipped over and assisted him in regaining stability.
Fucking love that sigh 😂
i lost sight of him after instructor's chute-pull, thanks to the onscreen banners of similar video suggjjestions - thought he was a gonner for a while!
Weird noone is talking about his reserve flap going open.
