When Do You Change The Landing Pattern?
Great information! But the video would be better if you included some example images. For those of us who are just starting out in the world of skydiving, we sometimes forget or confuse terms like the one you mentioned about "sling." anyway Thanks!! for the information :D
LOVE the book chat section, I haven't read Walden yet been on the TBR list for a while. The Bobiverse is fantastic!
Bobiverse is next on my list.
HA! Jruss throwing down the gauntlet on 4 way breakoffs! Ok Belly peeps, time to show him just how far we can track in 1k ft.
We need video of the best belly trackers out there!!
@@KravtoflyI’d be surprised if many can top Steve Lefkowitz or Andrew Happick
3:39 casual bird flying around
Thanx for this, very insightful and I learned a lot 🙏🏻
Now I can tell all of my friends that jump a Mutant the dangers of jumping a Mutant. Foghorn Leghorn.
That head up record was crazy. So sick! I can't even imagine being on that jump.
Few guys in the sport don't use uppers anymore and restrict thier jumps to hop pops or high pulls with thoughts ?
❤

Another great way to spend an hour. Loved hearing Chicken Hawk zoom past the mic. I freely and angle with a hacky and have had several people ask me about it, so glad to hear that JRuss doesn't have any issues with it. Thanks!
My Crossfire 3 required a 1.4 wing load or heavier. I loved that canopy. Sounds like you were less than that.
Excellent...again... We created a 100-jump program at our DZ with free organizing and recommended coaching every 10-15 jumps to monitor performance. We made it a recommended program for new jumpers and spent lots of time coming up with what we thought was the safest, smartest development of skills. We had variations for people to pursue different disciplines. It was great. And no student followed it. After they got their A-license, they just wanted to go play with their friends. Maybe we need to socialize it more or make it looser. Would love to run it past you. Also, we're working on a version of JRuss's movement leader test for our DZ as a course for anyone who wants to lead jumps.
I really like this idea, Brian. I wonder if more people would participate if it had somewhat of an "official" feel. Or if you do it in a way that people feel like they're missing out on growth and skill progression by not attending.
@@Kravtofly Great question. We spent last season telling our AFF graduates about it and some of them started doing some of the jumps, and some people have jumped back into it from time to time, but we haven't had anyone do the entire thing. Good idea to think about how we're "marketing" it. Thanks!
Another fantastic episode...Great discussion about competition. JRuss is spot on. It's all about mindset. The four years I went to Nationals were truly some of my favorite years skydiving. The jumps and competition were great, but the camaraderie and community were incredibly rewarding.
Awesome POD! There's a lot to do regarding Drop Zone culture and what the same skydiving community demands from other divers. More than setting down more rules, maybe working these better practices into each DZ's culture and building workshops and activities (like during weather holds) around safety and this kind of knowledge might be the way to go! Keep these amazing ideas coming, a lot of us are already working towards putting them in place! ;)
This was such a good episode to revisit. We just went through a lot of these things over the weekend during a Big Way Workshop and having seen this before would have made a huge difference. Thank you!!!
I like this "new school" advice
Thanks, is there a specific part you like?
@@Kravtofly Yeah, the reminder that body movement is fluid and not an exact position. Also thats its a HU position (actually makes a difference)
I had a shoulder surgery last year, can I do skydiving?
I know quite a few people who have had shoulder surgeries and jump on a regular basis and don't have any issues, so it's definitely possible. I would suggest you speak with your doctor and maybe try flying in the tunnel (iFly) to "test" it out and see how your shoulder feels.
Hi Cheryl, mike again. At the end of the video you mentioned low passes and the price. Bill Dause (Lodi) always, until the last few years, charged by the 1000 ft. . $5 for 5K, $9 for CFW at 9K. $15 for 14K. He would always let one jumper out at your chosen altitude. I love Bill and Lodi and always will. Thanks for all YOU have done for skydiving. mike hockenberry D33093
Hi Cheryl. Did you fly CRW with Craig Stapleton in Lodi sometimes (Red Line I think) ? I remember a lot of accuracy going on there. Dennis Murphy who always had his inflatable pad there. I remember the day he got 15,000 and Kathy announced it on the loud spearker. One of the great dropzones. I was just a lowly freeflyer. Was all of this just a dream ?
I love your shirt Jason! 🥹🧅❤️
Onion Air Force!!
I remember that sticker.
Great topic,I started to recently wear a bellybelt...I am trainin for Big Way & RW
Got me the awareness some of the coach I have jumped with lack of. Good job
Glad it was helpful.
I'm a newer skydiver and I've been freediving and spearfishing for a long time. I always notice the lack of oxygen at about 11k. I thought I was the only one feeling this. As a freediver when you start getting to the 80ft range you really have to be aware of how your body works. Even then, you have another diver meeting you on your way up. Samba is real and it's killed plenty of spearos. In the plane I just slow my breathing and try to relax. Now I want to know how low my oxygen gets.
Glad youre okay, did you even pull the reserve handle? It looks still connected
I'd be curious to see if engaging your dive reflex prior to jumping could help offset this effect at all.
Super helpful episode...potentially life saving. Thanks for this conversation!
Have sent to Oora and asked
Do the pilots wear oxygen?
Nick's face during the second half of this is how I felt. Consistency + Predictability > A few extra degrees of air space and a highly volatile breakoff.
I’m gonna try that
Another incredible show and enjoyed the discussions about quantum, crypto, and non-skydiving topics almost as much as the skydiving discussions. And thanks, Chris, for sharing the exit tips :)
What a waste of my time watching this
I have 108 Tb of stuff, trying to find anything is a huge pain.
I’ve listened to or watched every episode of Krav since the very first episode when I was an AFF Student. I don’t jump as much as I’d like, just due to family and work responsibilities, but I absolutely love this podcast and have never once felt like I’ve wasted any of my hours watching. I’ve learned an incredible amount about this fantastic sport thank to you guys. I hope one day I’ll have the honor of going on a jump with you guys. Blue skies 🤙🏻
Thank you so much for those kind words. That means a lot to both of us. Blue skies!
@@Kravtofly absolutely, I retire from the army in 8 years, maybe I can get an Arizona job with J Russ 🫡😂
Appreciate the shoutout gents <3! Great episode and awesome breakdown on that landing, hope the jumper recovers quickly... we've had several in our DZ just like that during the hot season.
I'm learning that hot, turbulent air is much more problematic than most of us realize
I have heard they suspect there were civilizations at least as advanced as we are now, here before us.
Another great conversation. I learn something every show and great advice about saying "no." So difficult sometimes but it shouldn't be. Great advice from JRuss. I would be interested to know what the Skyvan exit tips were for Chris.
Thanks, Brian. Good point, I'll try to remember to share those Skyvan tips on the next episode. :)
I was raised by the cowboy generation, and am glad a lot of them have retired. I feel like they get stuck in their ways and pass that on to newer jumpers.
Yeah, it takes work to keep an open mind without being unsafe. Thanks for the comment.
E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES! Go Birds!
Great discussion on beginner angles and breakoffs, be sure to clip that because it's GOLDEN! Good luck in Summerfest gents ;)
Thank you, Daniel. Is there a particular section that you think is most helpful?
Definitely an article needed from that movement test...tons of knowledge...and always new additions ;)
I am usually very busy during the year (I am a teacher) and I barely have time just to watch UA-cam. I am now in a process of catching up on your podcast. My comment is not towards this particular video, but I have been bingewatching your podcasts for a week now (I have had the Krav subscription too) and I just wanted to thank you for your time and effort. I am still a baby in skydiving but I find those videos so useful! So thank you once again!
That is really awesome to hear and we are so glad to know that you are enjoying the show and benefitting from the content! Thank you for being a part of the Krāv Crew.
Great tips and explained more clearly than I've ever heard. I'm definitely going to try this next time I'm up - thanks!
Thanks so much for the feedback and glad to know it helped. :)
Another fantastic episode. So important for people to really understand drift, winds aloft, movement, and the risks that we're exposing ourselves to. Especially important for the leaders on these groups.
Hell yeah. Talking about skydiving. I jump at a very well known DZ and even here I have had a couple of close ones with group separation. If you're standing or straight head down people just say you're freeflying. Well we know the speed difference in a sit compared to standing can be huge. Then acount for drifting. It's scary.
Great jump review and discussion. This was glossed over but it begs the question, to what extent should vertical proficiency be a requisite to jump on angles since they can change in the plane from angle to vertical OR should they not change at all, no clear line of sight no angle…?
Good question, Jonathan. I would say that vertical proficiency does not need to be a pre-requisite for angle/movement jumps. The reason is, if the leader/organizer of a movement jump decides that the group is not going to move, then his back-up plan should have already considered the skill levels and abilities of everyone on the jump and will be appropriate for all. In other words, if someone in my group can not freefly then I would not change from a movement jump to a head up jump but rather from a movement jump to a belly jump.
When is it available?
My pilot chute is bigger than his main!!
