Interview with Skydiving and Tunnel Coach Federico Rawa Meet amazing coach Federico Rawa in this week's release. He is one of the most experienced coaches out there and from my personal view the one with the most structured approach. It's very rare to find somebody equally being a bad-ass flyer himself and also an excellent coach from the didactical skills side. Check out his view on coaching a...

This week I was in Liège to do the recording for Martin's coaching interview. We had so much fun that I spontaneously decided to do a little teaser video of it. Watch out for the full version, it's super interesting what Martin has to say :-)

    I've noticed he keeps the lines at the slider apart, while I've seen other people pack with lines tightly together and the fabric twisted around to keep them tight. Since this is an 8y old vide, I was wondering if this is an old method of packing and it changed now, or are these 2 different methods? (Obviously not a skydiver, so I hope my descriptive language was good enough to understand m question :p)

    Take the time if you can to learn from this man. He kept me alive for many years and especially during my early years in jumping when I was dumb and thought I knew everything. I have seen many riggers but this man is the best. The reason is his attention to detail and also always keeping up with new technology, techniques and equipment. I have very much to thank him for

    He touched the canopy as we can gently touch a body girl. OMG I love my rig, I do this process when I'm in my house practicing my pack.

    "Position the slider in a comfortable position"??? I guess the soft violin music was putting me to sleep. This was soooooo dull. Sad.

    You made special mention of what side the control line is routed when stowing the brakes. I've always routed to the outside b/c they run to the outside of the canopy. Is there a reason you route to the inside?

    • @susylee5564
      @susylee5564 8 років тому

      Hi Michael, I will re-check with Colin and let you know! Yes there was a reason but I ask him better to explain it :D

    • @susylee5564
      @susylee5564 8 років тому

      Hi Michael, sorry for the long waiting time, I totally forgot to answer you. So basically we will cover this topic in detail in our upcoming mini series. However, I try to answer it shortly: it's mainly about that we want to have the control lines inside so that the ends of it get stowed on the outside. And this is for the reason that when everything gets stowed in the container, that the remaining part (end) of lines are hidden as deep in the container (side, bottom) as possible so that they cannot be exposed to the outside part of the container during freefall.
