I'm 57 years portuguese skydiver with 90 jumps. Start to downsize to a sabre3 230 and this footage helps a lot to get confidence on my landings. Big hug from Portugal 🤜🤛 blue skies
It has been absolutely amazing! I never thought in a million years I would fall in love with something so bizarre (and I mean bizarre in a good way) as skydiving. It was only supposed be one jump to say I did it and be done... as it turns out, skydiving isn't done with me. The plan in the spring is go for my AFF!!
I notice these dudes are flaring at all different heights. Does is matter how fast the wind is going. I keep flaring too high everytime I land and hit hard. Not sure if I will just learn better with time?
B D hey B D talk with your instructor about where to look when you need to flare and ask for other landing tips, it’s important to keep you safe and hard landings aren’t so fun. These skydivers flare at different heights based on how fast they are coming in (for landing), wind speed, size of canopy to weight of skydiver all play a part of when they flare. Also remember that most of these landings are by very experienced skydivers. You’ll get there 😊
I fly paraglider’s and the height of flare can definitely vary from a variety of different things, wind speed, terrain, speed, loading etc. sometimes when top landing on a ridge or mountain top I don’t even need to flare, just kinda fly it in because in lift if you flare you’ll just pop back up, of course that is with a paraglider and it’s different with a skydiver canopy, but after a hundred landings or so you start to get the feeling of when and how hard to flare.
Dylan Slater yes we have a great space here, if you’re ever in this part of the world, you’re welcome to drop in, we have people come from all over the world. 😊
@@ElissaJayneOfficial will do, planning to go visit my friend in Melbourne one day, maybe after the wave pool is built, it's just a couple of hours on the plane from coffs harbour. thanks see you there sometime 👍
Dylan Slater Coffs is about an 11 hour drive from EUROA and 90min from Melbourne, we have a bunk house and facilities for everyone to stay and of course you are welcome anytime. Blue skies
@@ov4457 I was shocked too when someone told me that even when paratroopers land safely, their knees will still get injured by the impact and in the long run they will have knees problems
@@Alswat100 Their parachutes hit the ground at like 13 miles per hour. That's probably a harder landing than not even flaring on a typical student canopy.
GREAT FLARING VIDEO, I THINK IT IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN THE LAST 2 YEARS
Thanks for watching Richard Blue Skies 😊
STILL WATCHING YOUR VIEDO. FRAME BY FRAME, GOOD TEACHING VIEDO@@ElissaJayneOfficial

I love this video so much. Such a positive vibes
some of these landings are really stylish
What a GREAT team
Sweet. Back in the seventies friends of mine were using squares. I stuck to the clinical with the inverted cutouts. These are some beautiful landings.
Thats my favorite landing video, many thanks!
Can tell everyone’s having a blast. Excellent video :)
I recognize Jamo! He was my TI for my 3rd and 4th jump in Alberta Canada this summer!!!
Hey yeah, Jamo is awesome! I hope your jumping journey is going well, Blue Skies

Awesome!!
4:35 he just did a moon walk hahah
Pretty cool to see... Thanks for sharing!
Dany Baron thanks for stopping in 😊 Blue Skies
great video
I am planning to try it once but Corona make me stuck
I lived in AUSTRALIA Gold Coast. I think can back
Wait...you can skydive in this country?!?
Thought that would've been illegal like everything else X)

Where is this?
Dylan Slater hey Dylan, this is Skydive EUROA in Australia
@@ElissaJayneOfficial looks like a nice big landing area, bit far away from me though.

Hell yea this is good shit right here
Cheers Ben, Blue Skies
Hi
Hey Tanner,
I love making the videos, happy that you enjoy them. 😊
Why don't paratroopers land like that? I mean it looks much safer
Because they are using round parachutes and there is limited control with those.
@@ElissaJayneOfficial it must be cheaper too 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@Alswat100 Yes and requires less skill. They don't really have the time to get in tens or hundreds of jumps and to allways keep jumping actively
@@ov4457 I was shocked too when someone told me that even when paratroopers land safely, their knees will still get injured by the impact and in the long run they will have knees problems

Australians. Descendants of British exiled prisoners.
and before that the English sent their "Prisoners" to the Americas........
на таком парашюте не попасть в круг! Это же полным идиотом нужно быть.
All of these parachutes Can land in the circle, “the pit’, accuracy is possibly but not everyone can land in it, on the same load. 🪂 ✈️
