@BurninatorTheTrogdor great question! I released the opposing brake moments before chopping. The mal was a tension knot or RDS snag but either way, the wing wanted to turn right so full left input was required to balance it out. Not bad for both my first chop & first save, huh?

@@DrDownsize Dude, nice one. Sounds like you found it. I live down the street from those guys.

@@BurninatorTheTrogdor yeah? That's cool! It's such a great dz. I love that place. My wing landed on a business rooftop on the west/airport side of the freeway. I packed my reserve, hooked up the main, & was back in time for the competition. Never a dull moment!

@@shanembradshaw hahahahaha

@steffl6126 thank you, kind brother! I got caught in a flight cycle & proactively decided to protect my tailbone by sitting forward & performing a PLF. Unfortunately, as I put my foot on the ground I flared too deep & stalled my wing, falling awkwardly back on my leg, crushing my tibia & fibula with my left butt cheek.

@davidsakal449 good enough... good enough! 🤘🏼

@@nabz85 thank you so much!

@SlanderAnders thank you brother! 🤘🏼

@@JHowVideo I think they kept my foot from falling off honestly hahaha

@@DrDownsize get better soon homie.

@davidsakal449 thank you brother! Hardware installed! It'll see the sky in 2 months

@@BurninatorTheTrogdor I jumped 7/3 in DeLand. I think load 1, 4, & 6 on the PAC. High pulls. Were you down there?

@@DrDownsize I was jumping the 4th and a bunch of high pulls. Thought you looked familiar.

@@BurninatorTheTrogdorAre you the one with the custom reserve flap?

Hells yeah!

@tomr1771 we are told the statistics say the main will have a malfunction once per 1,000 jumps. Doesn't necessarily mean it will result in a cutaway & reserve ride, but simply a problem. I have had 2 cutaways in 2,800. 1st at 1,724 & another a few hundred jumps later. Both were on competition-level wings & during a swoop competitions. Both were on hop & pops so they were sub-terminal. One was random & the other can be attributed to me. You can find them on the Playlist 'Cutaways'. Thank you! I hope it helps. Go for AFF! It's incredibly rewarding.

Thanks for the help!

@@DrDownsize 😂

@@SlanderAnders yeah he's good. Executed a decent PLF after boosting on rears & stalling his GTR

@@DrDownsize it was a decent PLF. Just looked a little rough. Anyways, nice rippers and glad he’s alright

He's a decent angle flier, too... except maybe those speed wobbles at the end 🤣

@@DrDownsize Hell yeah. That's rad.

Great; another auditor for my skydives... just what I need! Lol now you understand why I always bring bourbon & beer... just in case 🥰🤘🏼

Come back & visit... we'll get shreddy!

It never gets old, brother. If it does, find a new discipline within the sport & never stop learning! 💖🤘🏼

@@DrDownsize Bro if it gets old, start golfing right?

Knitting, perhaps?

Thanks, dude! Appreciate that. Blue skies 🤘🏼

First came across this student in 2016... at this point, I think she should consider basket weaving.
