Did X35 Last month - made jumps 3-6 from the Tico Belle! Can't wait to go back in March! Loved the "Hard One!" right before you landed. I had a hard one as well, turns out I broke a rib and still did 3 jumps (didn't know it was broken at the time). AATW!
From my static line and round 'chute days it all came flooding back! RIGHT TOGGLE to avoid imminent collision with other jumper. Your ground rush was severe-good PLF!
To necro this... the MC1-1B chute has toggles to pull that close off a corner panel on each side if the chute to allow for turning and better overall control. It also has a larger opening in the rear that gives some forward momentum... if you pull both down hard before landing then release before hitting the ground you get a bounce back effect from the chute that results in a softer landing if timed correctly... if not you hit like a sack of shit... takes practice. I give this landing a thumbs up.
Winds picked up after we jumped. A lot of guys had hard landings. I turned into the wind to avoid landing on top of the guy on the ground below me. I walked away from it, so I guess it was a good landing.
Because their too low. The recommender chord rip height for civilians is 2000 feet, and these guys are dropping from 1200. So there’s no time for them to manually pull it. They have to have it open as soon as they leave
@@aryadwitama parchute has to have the most service space as possibles to slow you down quick enough at such a low altitude a lot of my jumps are as low as 1000 or 900ft and a maneuverable one like the gold nights or SF uses (also being dropped from way higher) wouldn’t slow you down in time
That isn’t a bad landing they have to distribute the fall all over there body Bc they can’t land like a regular parachute Bc of the extra 90 pound they carry with there bags so they
Depends on where the release point is calculated. Altitude wind speed and direction determine the amount of drift. DRT, DCAV and TDR for the old torch bearers....and something about bananas? Its been awhile
A large number of guys who jump with us at X35 are retired veterans who served in various Airborne units from around the world. They may be too old to be active duty, but they aren't too old to be Airborne!
for those who know, this guy is a badass paratrooper! nice landing brother
Shakey. 50th Sig, 18th Air Corps. Ft. Bragg. Hard hitts. Airborne 🪂 Who-Wa. All The Way! We are some Bad Mother Fuckers! 👍
hell yeah took it like a champ
Did about 14 jumps from a C-47 ( DC-3 ) A good jump is when you walk out of the DZ on your own 2 feet! 👍😎👍 '69, AIRBORNE, ALL THE WAY

Hard landing with a perfect PLF, any landing you walk away from is a good landing. Nicely done.
Atleast you had an MC-6. I FINALLY got to unit that used them, and BANG, MEB. I was so mad 😅

That sounded like it hurt
Good job brother 👏🏼
This dude was landing fine until he started playing with the pulleys at the end
Tyler Thomas he leaned into it..
that's what saved him breaking his legs lol

@@douglasthomas8513I much preferred the T-10 to the MC1-1B,
Up on your feet quickly for the run round …top stuff.
I've done my own fair share of jumps. And i wanna say, i would love to jump from a C47
X35 Florida maybe?
Hahaha hard one... Ohhh shiiittt
Damn! I'm scared of heights but I would love to do this I'm not scared of height I'm scared on the fall beneath
Same
All paras are scared of heights that’s why they try to get to the ground so fast
Square parachutes have much softer landings.
True. William Windom was deathly afraid of heights. He was 508th, 82nd airborne in WW2. Two combat jumps.
I use to pull down on the risers about 10 feet from the ground and let them go at about 5 feet and my chute gave lift for a smooth landing.
I was digging watching this video then I realized that its you Paul Ott. Haha See you on the DZ in a few weeks brother at X35 ( March 2024 event )
I'll be there! See you then, brother!
Blood on the risers intensifies
I had many hard landings like that!!!
That dude next to you ate shit but you looked like you did a barrel roll and then ran, noice
Prob ran with the wind to avoid trees, buildings, at 250 too late to turn and dump speed....AATW.

Why do they use latching system instead of just regular jumping out like you see in civilian skydives?
Because their too low. The recommender chord rip height for civilians is 2000 feet, and these guys are dropping from 1200. So there’s no time for them to manually pull it. They have to have it open as soon as they leave
@@HagenBloink and why do they didn't use the manuevereable parachute instead?
@@aryadwitama I mean hey, you engineer a parachute and your not gonna use it ever again in real combat.

In the 82nd circa 10' 650 feet was common. Rumors said quite lower though.

How do you prevent a hard landing like this?
Turn into the wind and don't fly with it. I didn't want to land on the guy below me, so I flew with the wind this time.
@@PaulOtt426 it's faster with less attack angle. I was used to eating shit on a skateboard, so some speed wasn't anything.
Yeah, you know instinctively went it’s going to be a hard landing. The ground is moving at a fast angle under your feet.
Stay in the 'plane? 😉
3:41 You’re welcome.
Why are you jumping over trees and buildings in the first place?
Depends on where the release point is calculated. Altitude wind speed and direction determine the amount of drift. DRT, DCAV and TDR for the old torch bearers....and something about bananas? Its been awhile
@@jerdog781627 hahaha yeah that actually makes sense.
Little known fact it's a war crime to shoot guys that are parachuting ....
Not if they're combatants, then you can
Only if they aren’t shooting at you from the air.
Seems a bit windy
my fucking kneeeeeeeees. yikes.
Is that a T11 chute?
It was an SF10A
why are there so many old dudes?
A large number of guys who jump with us at X35 are retired veterans who served in various Airborne units from around the world. They may be too old to be active duty, but they aren't too old to be Airborne!
Why are these people fake jumping from a plane?
That was nothing
no that wasnt a hard landing
okay leg
