Skydive Vibes I tried it when I did my canopy course... yes, my ‘heart squeezed’, but I will be doing it again. I was able to recover without an issue. It was less scary than my previous flight when I experienced toggle fire...

my 150 pilot loaded at 1.3 doesnt stall without wrapping the steering lines once around my hand. it starts to tumble a bit getting unstable but the canopy won't collapse

I've been watching your vids for a bit. Recently, I took a canopy course at Skydive Chicago. When it came time to stall my canopy, I was quite nervous. I performed 2 toggle & 2 rear riser stalls. And honestly, it wasn't bad at all. I watched numerous vids prior to this to gain somewhat of an expectation. Again, stalling my canopy ended up being not bad at all. I certainly gained more knowledge about my canopy as well. I'll be doing it again soon. Thank you for your dedication in producing such great vids. If you're ever at SDC & are open to do a belly fly, let me know. Blue skies!

This video helped me out a lot. Last week I took a canopy course required for the B license. I watched this before the course and it helped me take some of the fear of a full stall. I never stalled my canopy before and was a little weary about doing it. The first stall was sketchy but after recovering I quickly realized it was actually a lot of fun. Watching your canopy bowtie is definitely a different sensation. But as you said multiple times do this above 2500 ft because this can turn into some line twists if you let up to fast. Thanks for the tips!

@SkydiveVibes
5 жыл бұрын
I hope you meant rear risers... Never try to land with your front. They make you accelerate and dive fast so not a good idea to use for landing. 😉 They are used to swoop which is more advanced and definitely not a "safe" way to land.

Hello Catherine, great and very informative videos, congrats. I haven't been jumping for a while but just one note about flat turns: actually these turns are made from half brakes or close to it, especially if you're flying a high performance canopy. From half or 3/4 brakes you can make really sharp turns without losing significant height, not to mention that it gives you more time to access the situation and plan your navigation. Simply pulling lightly in one brake will lead to a a very open turn and sometimes an increase in speed and dive.

I am still a student skydive I will not be stalling my canopy till I have more jumps and I am a more experienced Skydiver. Right now I do my canopy check list. Ok no line twists and sider down and I have a good canopy. Next I do a flair with my toggles and then a 90 degree right and a 90 degree left turn and if all is good then I have a good canopy for my landing pattern. This was an awesome video and I am looking forward to you next video. Blue skies to you and all the other skydivers out there that love this sport like I do.

Love your videos thank you! Going for my AFF One question, I thought flat turns were done with the toggles 1/2 down to begin with. If that's the case would you pull further down on the toggle you want to turn towards or lightly release the opposite toggle? I'm abit confused
@SkydiveVibes
Жыл бұрын
Both techniques work. Lightly releasing one can be best if your canopy has a small range (near from stalling) but that only apply to high performance.

Just a thought but you can stall you canopy when it is large enough and minimum 3'000ft, but I would not recommend it! The canopy could very likely fold completely and you end up with a cut away.

Great video and very informative, But, I still have to ask, why stall your canopy to begin with? If your already under a perfectly good stable canopy, why take the unnecessary risk of putting yourself in a position where you could possibly give yourself Line Twist? For what? And yes, I've heard it a thousand times " to see where your canopy's Stall Point is at ". Ya, that's all fine and dandy, Yet I'm pretty sure most jumpers can figure that out without fully deflating their canopy. Now granted, yes, I have completely stalled my canopy before, but I simply don't see the need to practice it. Now to avoid a collision in the air, yes, most definitely, but other than that, why? Plus, the smaller your canopy is, the higher chance you have of potentially putting yourself in an oh shit moment. But, On the other hand, some jumpers like to do Intentional Cutaways, too each his own, I guess. Anyway, I like the videos you post, keep up the good work. And if anyone can explain this topic to me in more detail, I'd really like to listen. I'm not some sky god who thinks he knows everything, I just want more clarity. Blue Skys

I know you posted this a year ago but hey. The answer is simply to get super comfy with slow flight. If there's too many people at the same time entering the pattern, flying very slow can help you from entering the pattern at the same time. It's just that very very few skydivers are comfortable with ultra slow flight. A way more common sight is people complaining about someone flying a 50sqft larger canopy than them who was just a bit unpredictable and that it's 'super hard' to stay above them and they have 'no other choice' then to fly by them and that the 'newbies' should take this into consideration. It's just, no, you need to fly your canopy better bro.

Why are these canopy videos so dumbed down. If I stall at 1000ft boo hoo, report me.Also, flying at half breaks the whole time on your first 2 legs is ridiculous. Fly best glide and fly "active" to adjust for turbulence. This isn't snake where the only turns you can do are 90 degree turns. There's room for adjustment elsewhere. Also, on some canopies more break does not always make you go faster down. If your spiral turns past vertical with the horizon you enter something that resembles a paragliding SAT - Going past a spiral enters you into a SAT which has a lower decrease in altitude rate.
