Did you ever stall your canopy yet? How did it go? Leave a comment below!
One of my favorite things to do. Great camera geek and tons of fun. Wow this video got me excited about jumping again. It is getting close and closer. Thank you.
Did it several times and found that my canopy is a real beast if you let the stall fully develop. It will stay in a dive with the center cell deflated. Glad I found out during training at high altitude :D
I stalled my canopy for the first time two days ago and nearly shit my pants.
You want some comments? LOL, Eye opening experience...student doing static line jumps. I was coming in late evening to the LZ, light winds from the front. Big guy, small chute. I was wearing a helmet with a radio, one way, ground to student, listening to a jump master that was on the ground. I was pulling lightly on my toggles as I was approaching the LZ. I guess the JM didn't like the way I was flying, the JM kept telling me to pull more toggle....Finally he raised his voice and said to "pull on down on the toggles"....so I did, all the way down! Chute stalled! I shot forward like on a swing, as I rocked back, the chute folded. I released the toggles going full sail and "bicycling" to get it to reinflate. It caught air, reinflated and I was now going forward straight at the windsock. I immediately began "lightly" tugging one toggle and letting the other go full sail and steered around it and managed to make a safe, soft landing. My buddy, (first and last time out for him), made the comment on the way to the bar from there, "you really wowed the crowd with that last jump. You could hear everyone gasp when your chute stalled." BTW, that was my last jump. I have a few more hair raising stories in my short time skydiving. Ever have a chute open while doing a static line jump while still holding to the strut? I Have. Then have almost a full line twist? I was asked why I didn't do a cut away? My reply was "I looked at my altimeter, saw I was at 3500 feet and figured I had around 2000 feet to "fix it" bicycling twisting and turning before going to my last resort. I guess I made the right decision, I'm here." That's when I found out I had a canopy deployed while still on the strut. The JM that put me out in the pre-jump brief had said "I'll say door opening, get out. When I see you on the strut looking at me and we make eye contact, I'll point at you to release when we're over the spot." I guess when the chute went out he panicked. He kept waving his arms. I thought he was saying get farther out on the strut, so I moved farther out. When he looked like he was about to exit the aircraft, I said, "I'm outta here" and let go. It took about 1-2 seconds for the cute to open as I watched the tail on the plane go by. It seemed awful close. The static line pilot chute was still attached to the static line, the entire chute had deployed, but didn't catch air and was backwards. I found out from the pilot afterwards, the plane was almost flying sideways at a stall. They had taken a quick "survey" inside the plane and decided the JM that put me out needed to knock me off the strut before they all went in. After I'd landed, way off course, but on the airstrip, I was asked why I waited to release from the plane. I told him the JM was supposed to point at me to release and he never did. When asked why I released when I did I said I was taught if something doesn't seem right, do what you think is right. When he looked like he was going to jump onto me, I said, I'm outta here and went for it. BTW, please cover doing spirals. LOL, was told how to "enter" but not to properly "exit" one. Try doing a 90* spiral running full sail with one toggle pulled down, then just release it....Yeah, the canopy collapsed...reinflated and I carried on. You enter one slowly and exit slowly I guess....
Love the underside canopy visuals showing the approaching, and then entering, a stall. Thanks for all the tips on safe recovery from the stall.
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Thank you Catherine. Your videos are always the best. I never realised you have covered so many different topics! Great job!
Thanks Mikhail!
Love this channel - keep up the great work !
Thanks! Where do you jump?
I started watching your channel a few months ago after my tandem jump, and started working on my AFF a couple weeks ago. I've been jumping at SDAZ in Eloy, AZ, and I noticed that several clips from this video are shot there! Thanks for the great content and the motivation to 'dive' into the sport!
Awesome! Glad to know you are part of the family! Yes, it was my first out of country jumps to a US DZ! It is a great one! Look for my video on my sponsored CURV to see my vlog of my visit there!
Thanks for the great content! Hoping to get into the air again soon!
Absolutely great video with lot of useful infromation
Thanks for watching!
looking forward to learn more under the canopy! hope we can jump soon!!!
good video!! be safe!
Yeah me too. Can't wait to be back in the sky!!
thank you. this is so helpful!
Great job! No more “that being said”......excellent. Very helpful info, I wish I had known more canopy characteristics long ago. Instructors seem hesitant to talk about canopy skills.
Hahaha this is now a "no, no" in my speech. Maybe because of your recommendation! ;)
This was excellent. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Well briefed!! Knowledgable.. Easy to understand your tutorial(s). For new comer like me, this really helps!!
Super thanks! Glad it helped!
Great video again! Take care.
Thanks Steve!
Love your vids! !
Thanks for watching!
❤Very insightful thanks.
Love your videos. Just started watching a week or two ago when I was looking around for containers, and I saw your video on your new container. Love seeing it in the background, and I’m excited to designing my own in the future to purchase.
Nice! Which one will you get?
Skydive Vibes I’m still learning names, but it’s the exact same one as yours, but I was looking at doing a black and green combination.
@@tannerhughes6274 ok so a Curv. :) Super. Where do you jump?
Skydive Vibes I have actually never skydived before. I’ve recently got into paragliding here in Colorado. And I came across your skydiving videos as I was looking at paragliding videos, and now I’m looking into starting skydiving 🪂
@@tannerhughes6274 super!
Thank you! 👏🏻😊
I LOVE YOU FOREVER, GO SKYDIVE
Very awesome video I’ve done that about 5 times and not gonna lie it’s a bit scary every time 😅 I really liked the hint about slowing forward speed before beginning the stall I’ll try that this weekend! Blue skies! 🤙🏻
I know, right?! Cool and let us know how it went. It is a luck that you can try it out this weekend! ;)
Skydive Vibes my Home DZ has finally reopened in NC for fun jumpers, before that I drove 9.5 hours away to a private DZ for one inverted bi plane jump. If you or anyone wants to come jump in NC you’re more than welcome 👍🏻
Thank you. Leaving Friday to DZ hop across America. Can't wait to take my canopy course.
Lucky you! Crazy that you can travel that much though!?
@@SkydiveVibes 🤫somethimes you gotta do what you gotta do😁 a bit like BASE trip 😊 how lucky some people are to be able to jump now, in uk we must wait as DZ's are closed 😥
@@Ijumpandfly I know. :(
Very helpful video! Reminder to drill your skills.
Informative video soon I learn that real
Thanks 🙏 Kate for all
Thanks for watching!!
Looks interesting. Gonna try that out :D.
Make sure to get a proper briefing with a coach on your DZ first. ;)
Guys, please ! Don't try to stall your canopy with slider behind your head. You have to keep slider over your head or if you have removable slider - remove it before !
It's super important !
Thanks for sharing and why do you recommend that?
@@SkydiveVibes I was just wondering the same thing. I recently completed a canopy course just before the Covid shutdown and I don't recall being told anything about keeping the slider overhead during a stall. Is it possible that if your stall resulted in bad line twists that the slider could wrap around your neck if it was behind your head??
@@scottynic2894 possible.
@@scottynic2894 Exactly! 2 years ago my friend died because of this situation... He was with +-4000 jumps... sorry that i didn't explain that first. Be safe guys and blue skies :)
@@SkyDaumantas That's terrible....I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks a lot for highlighting that potential problem though, especially now....I will be doing several stalls when I'm back in the sky and all of them would have been done with the slider behind my head, not any more. Thanks again and Blue Skies 🤙🏻
Hello there, thanks for really informative video series ❤. what is relation of speed and energy of the wing over the angle of attack? for example if we will make aggressive maneuvers, gain lots of speed and energy and rapidly/aggressively exit/level out, is there any chance to cause stall of the wing?
Awesome video! Thanks for all the info!
So, when would you say is a good time to start stalling practice - after how many jumps?
And can you cause a similar effect if you only pull one riser or toggle all the way down?
Thanks. No pulling only one will cause you to turn. In your A progression you are asked to practice it. :) So before 25 jumps. Buta make sure to follow the safety guidelines!
@@SkydiveVibes Thanks so much for the info! Guess ill be doing it soon then! Started recently and I've done a few jumps so far.
I just got a new set of lines on my canopy. Once the dropzones open I plan to do a stall to learn where the new stall point is (presuming it has changed).
Cool. I need to do it more myself!
Great video thank you!
I flew on my 170 Sabre 2 canopy full flare for over 20 seconds at a time and it never stalled. Not sure why.
Try to wrap your toggle once or twice around your hands. The stalling point may be lower. Whether you are not loading it enough or your brakes are long. ;)
nice!
Thanks!
Very nice describe everything
Thanks for watching!
I m so intrested in skydiving
What i have no any ideas that by i seen your videos and try to learn about skydiving
Way cleaner to do stowed toggles. Steve Curtis is the master at stalls. Anyone has any questions reach out to him.need to add that much much safer on rears than Yonkels.
Thanks for sharing!!
Greatfull for the information.
Thanks for watching. Where do you jump?
@@SkydiveVibes I haven't started my training course yet, however I am learning the basics of stabilizing and keeping my eye on altimeter, through I Fly simulator. I am only doing tandem skydiving for now. Thank you for the INFORMATION on the whole spectrum of SKYDIVING.
@@SkydiveVibes Las Vegas and Monterey.
@@mercyshaver5264 great! Let me know if you would like to learn about any specific subject!
Newly minted A License holder here 👋 The thought of fully stalling my canopy is absolutely terrifying LOL. That clip at 8:09 gave me a mini-heart attack
Would you be able to do a video on the canopy, like the parts of it,
Can you do a non flare landing safely ? LIke partial brakes ?
Hi, Im a paraglider pilot, and while doing low or nil wind landings specially, we are told not to slow that canopy at all, reason - more speed while coming in to land, means more energy to flare, thus eventually softer landing. I found that point of your really conflicting to digest?
Oh you are right. I am not talking about slowing down the canopy for landing. We are better to go full flight before the flare. But understanding the stalling point will help in completing the flare and go all the way till before the stalling point. Does that make sense? A lot of people don't actually finish their flare fully but if you can slow down your canopy to the max during the flare it is better.
Skydive Vibes Basically in every landing you're supposed to bury the toggles all the way down as far as possible just before your feet touch the ground...and the pilot needs to judge that moment correctly depending upon a situation for a good landing. Since we are essentially stalling the canopy rt at the moment we touch the ground. If anyone isn't flaring to the max at the time of landing then they're doing it wrong! Or maybe it's different in swooping/acro etc.
From my listening if your video it made me think that you were asking to slow the canopy while coming in for nil wind landing. Though you have added a disclaimer, but still since your channel is educational for budding skydivers maybe you wanna highlight this part so no one unknowingly misinterprets it.
Thx
@@1478521fvbgt thanks for sharing. Yes you are right. We need to always fully flare at landing and yes many skydivers are not perfect and they need to improve that. ;) I have been there too!!
I have been watching your videos for over a year and had no idea you were an engineer! What type? =)
Mechanical and I work in robotics. ;)
I'm still a student. I can't stall my canopy yet. My instructor should us a video of him wearing our rigs and he had to wrap the toggles twice around each hand to get the canopy to stall.
Hey! Yes with student canopies they are often big and hard to stall hence the hand wrapping. ;)
Just a humble paraglider here. We generally use stalling for recovering from some types of malfunctions. Is that something you all do as well?
I was never taught to stall as a means of addressing a mal. Students are told to pump the brakes to address closed end cells but that’s about it. We have a very different approach to the use of the reserve in general, I think, given the greater altitude that’s commonly in hand and the emphasis on cutaway.
increasing the angle of attack actually increases the lift and drag until reaching the critical angle of attack (stall) then you suddenly lose lift
Yes. Good point. I didn't mention it. It was mostly for a quick overview but I could have pointed that too. Thanks for your input!
@@SkydiveVibes je vous en prie , et merci pour vos vidéos très éducatives , bon continuation
How does a plane fly upside down based on the traditional low pressure idea without losing altitude ?
I weight 195lbs & fly a Sabre2 190. I can fly with the toggles burried & have not been able to stall my canopy. I was told to wrap the brake lines around my hands & try again. I haven't tried that yet!
Yeah, with the brake wrapped it should start to work!
@@SkydiveVibes I was told if that still doesn't work to wrap them around my feet. Do you concur?
@@KeepinYouUp07 haha nope I don't think it is a good idea. Who told you that? When you'll get into your stall you might really get into a mess if your feets are in the lines. Or you are messing around with me?! ;)
@@SkydiveVibes yes, I was just kidding 😂 I had to! Thank you for everything you do!
I don't think that's safe to wrap your lines around your hand. Worse case scenario is a bad collapse and you need to cut away, you'll be tied to the main canopy.
in a paraglider you can do a stable backfly
i’m an acrobatic paragliding pilot and I always wondered if skydivers used this configuration for evading collisions or other situations, like making negative spins to change direction instantly
It's like stalling the wings in airplane. In an aircraft you shove the nose down. Provided you have enough altitude stalls are easily recovered. At low altitude all bets are off!
I'd rather not stay in deep brakes until my Stiletto stalls out. That can create an un-recoverable situation and/or line twist.
Indeed. However, when doing a proper stall and recovering slowly (controllably) a stall can be pretty stable. That video actually showed something similar to a stiletto if not exactly it.
Спасибо, пробовал когда то давно и перестал. Была закрутка на свале. Нужно отдавать стропы управления плавно и симметрично. А я резко бросил и не симметрично и после этого перестал это пробовать.
I know you're an engineer, but airflow does not equal lift. It is however, angle of attack, up until stall angle has been reached. Any pilot knows this.
Hey i am from India....I want to know that does skydiving license expire???........if yes, then after what duration of time does skydiving license expire?????
??????
@@sahilramgharia8589 usually your national skydiving association membership (like USPA, or BPA, etc) expires annually and you have to extend it each year. Your skydiving license (issued by that association) is valid for as long your membership is valid. So you need to check the rules of the Indian association, or get USPA membership/license (which is a "gold standard", and is accepted all over the world).
How can we extend our membership?
@@sahilramgharia8589 by paying your membership fee
I wanna be a skydiver instructor.
You got to start to become a licensed skydiver first!
@@SkydiveVibes yes, im only 14 to
What is your natural language?
French Canadian!
I thought that explanation of how a wing works had been disproved. Isn't it all Newtonian? Many aircraft can fly upside down which refutes the aerofoil explanation. Also, Rogallo hang glider wings are single-surface (like beginner's hang gliders) - surely with no aerofoil shape they should fall out of the sky?
I'll get me coat. THumbs up to the video!
Like sh33p sk1n says it look interesting ill have to try out
Great. Make sure to get a briefing first!!
@@SkydiveVibes sure! ;)
That's a scary maneuver, no $$$t
🐈!
What do you think coach?
Skydive Vibes you nailed it, girl!!! Very informative and precise.
Do you speak French ?
I do haha!
