Thank you for this! Doing my A-license progression and am on a 210 (.7 WL). It is great to see a video of non performance parachute landings. Doing visualizations with this video before the next jump!
Thank you for the comment. I'm glad to hear the video is helping skydivers. If you come to Portugal or Spain and need coaching (FS, Freefly, Tracking) I'm here to help. I also run canopy courses and water training for USPA B license. Enjoy the skydiving journey Matt.
@@TheSkydivingTherapist I absolutely will. Finally got good weather to jump again. Stood up all the landings today, on target. Can't believe how much smoother it felt. Thank you!!
the half-flare part is definitely your safety brake...as a new AFF jumper, i had a no-headwind accident last june 2023...came in too fast and full-flared at 15 ft...didn't hold my half flare long enough...2 fractures of the right tibia, chipped ankle bone = 8 screws and three plates. i'm rehabbed up and i'll be jumping again in May. thank you for the video.
I am sorry to hear about your injury. When you get back to the game I recommend avoiding those zero winds days. 5 to 10 kts are perfect. Also, a full flared canopy plus PLF is the best technique to avoid injuries. Always talk to your instructor. Thank you for your feedback.
On my very first AFF jump I couldn't find our landing zone. I kept steering the canopy just fine but didn't know where I was supposed to land. Then my instructor called on the radio and said turn around, turn around you are heading the wrong way. As soon as I did I saw our DZ and completed landing pattern without any issues.
This is a great video for students. There are a lot of videos on flaring, but most of them show flares at much higher wingloadings, much less informative for students than this video.
Awesome introduction and info for students buddy
Thank you Alan.
Really cool video on two-stage flare! thank you!

This is my worst fear I’m booked in for aff in April
Thank you, just the info I have been hoping to find,
I hope this video helps you out.
Parabéns Mestre, muito bom!
Obrigado pelo feedback Mauricio.

Thank you for the comment. I'm glad to hear the video is helping skydivers on their first steps.
Sooooo smooth and beautiful. Wich canopy size did u used?
Hi Michele. The range goes from 200 up to 280. It depends on weight of the student.
@@TheSkydivingTherapist thanks!
This video helped me out a lot
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to hear my video is helping.
Cool
Very cool thank you.
Thank you for your feedback.
Why don't you plan a trip to India...I am waiting here...for learning..and starting a base jump series...
I would love to go to India. I just need someone to sponsor my trip. I'm not a base jumper.
@@TheSkydivingTherapist should we both call- THE RED BULL COMPANY...🤔🤔
What size is that parachute. Is it wise to wrap twice the brakes in your hands to shorten them?
Hi Tinashe. The range goes from 200 up to 280. I am totally against wrapping the brakes in the hands for safety reasons.
Thank you for the advice. You video is more helpful
I’m on 260 static line but been struggling on landings
@@tinasheshepherd7601 do you have videos of your landings?
@@TheSkydivingTherapist yeah I do have
