One thing that I’ve noticed that works really well for me is also kicking and twisting my legs for extra momentum. Especially while your arms are still zipped. Great stuff man!
Excellent video. Never thought of twisting in the same direction as the higher riser. And I see you correcting heading without thinking hard about what to pull on. Helps me visualize without this experience in BASE.
That bowtie lookin inflation on your last jump has me peaked. I'm curious, the direction of your PC over the nose in that last line twist before it was cleared leads me to think you're in a stall with the canopy flying backwards, which would also seem to explain how strongly the bridle is pulling on the tail pocket causing the deformation. It's difficult to tell with a 360 camera, but do you think this is the case? I also understand you're jumping slider up on this jump, but it looks like you're set in deep brakes unless I'm mistaken, could this also play a roll here? Thanks for this info man, I think so many people can really benefit from this kinda content. 🤟🏼
The truth is that nobody really knows the exact cause, but it seems like 'most' off headings and twists are caused by bad body position on deployment, but sometimes you can pack perfect and deploy perfectly straight and it still goes tits up. I also think that if there is turbulence or a cross wind where you are deploying plays a big part in it even with terminal jumps.

This works for sure.

Props for making and sharing educational content. Line twists are mainly caused by poor body position IMO.
Super informative I really appreciate these kinds of vids
thanks for the feedback
Great video!
Thank you so much man. Seriously amazing video.
thnaks for the feedback!
thank you for sharing this !
great stuff!
cheers from brasil .
Never heard the "follow the top riser trick". I'll keep that in mind for next time thanks!
Perfect explained, thanks!
thanks for the feedback
Great. Thanks for this. What can be done to prevent twists to begin with?
I haven't ever jumped, yet, but love the video. Curious if different colors on each side would make it easier to spot the direction of the twist?
Il est Bon le Newton ! ;-)
Machine!
👏👏👏👏

Yeeeeeah😋😋😋😋😋
Are you ever gonna sell the Rick and Morty canopy / rig? Or where can I buy one?
so are line twists caused by packing, position when opening, or randomly? or all 3? if so which one does it happen the most?
all 3 , mostly : they happen when you are in an unstable position when pulling
