Down & Dirty Deployment to low cutaway

[mjay0025]

Good job, nice save for sure. Not many would have pulled that off.

[imthewhitie4life]

where did you get that altimeter?? looks nice

[jpoop8]

Was that a Suunto Core watch?

[Reuben961]

why does ppl sometimes get those agressive twins that makes the chute spin? im a student and i get a twin once but it was just me that was spinning while the chute was going stable in one direction.

[ZLew02]

@Reuben961 high performance canopies (not student canopies) don't deal well with line twists and often don't fly level in twists. It has to do with the wing loading and the shape of the wing. Not typically something a student will have to worry about.

[nickolaguez]

Aff*

[nickolaguez]

I think this was training guys....for an instructor? How many students have small canopies and nice altis? Not to mention the exit was not "add" esque. Just my thought

[Shagley87]

woopsy!....beer fine. :-)

it was dumb to go so deep but well done with the chop man.

[postulify]

OK.....AFF training on a cloudy day, in the rain, one instructor, with a student that still doesnt have the concept of; arching, body awareness, or PHT; not to mention that poor excuse for a "lazy W". I thought he was going to put his hands up to his eyes to make binoculars.

[eocsnesemaj]

hmmmm, Aff student with booties on, small canopy (student) and tracked away before seeing him open? Im not at all an insturctor but this just seems a lil off to me :S

[mmichaeldonavon]

We did it differently, in the PCA. B-6370 :-)

[DrasticPromotions]

Shit hot reactions buddy. You clearly wasn't out on the piss the night before!

[midairflyer]

it was my 13th jump, during my AFF course i had my 1st malfunction, line twist. i opened at 5000' got line twist. pulled rear risers apart and kicked legs to untwist lines. then was stuck in a hard right hand turn, not sure why. grabbed toggles and flared, fixed that problem, then looked at alt. 3200'!!!!! took me 1800' to get under control. amazing how much alt you lose so quickly.

[GeneG83]

-1 dumped low why??

+1 chopped quick

+1 cleared reserve twists at ~500ft

+1 dialed in a nice landing in a tight spot

+1 didnt shit your pants

good job man!!

[gravitysucks22]

u said it brother

[LawnNome5248]

p.s. I dont think you needed to track for 12 seconds to get away lol! 5 would have been good.

[LawnNome5248]

Double line twists??? Ride that B to the ground. Good job dumping the main so fast though.....

[Charlie1821]

damn that was intense

[Etienne12321]

It wasn't sooo low, he still was in the allowed limit... !

[BigBUG30]

it was like wtf? from the very beginning

at least he was stable on the back ;p

[JosephMorganFPS]

Lol. Id Purposely Pull that "low" Although I prefer to skydive with base rigs.

[3habaneros]

nice landing 

[crkopacz]

Well, at least your main wasn't far away. ;)

[FarceTheory]

That may have been dumb.  At least after that you followed the book perfectly.

[theciskokidd]

How fast approx. would you hit the ground if the reserve has a line twist you can't fix? Death?

[Neosano]

@theciskokidd hm, some people survived landings with line twists on their main chute, reserve is more stable when lines are twisted, so I think your chances are pretty good, but you'll probably get injured. does it matter, lol? you have nothing else to do anyway.

[dormiturefl]

how far away did you land from the DZ?

[skysurfride]

If you're in AFF you shouldn't be using a SUUNTO watch alti. Still, good job cutting away. Was it the RSL opening your reserve or did you pull the handle?

[ricardod19]

bye bye cutaway handles :) sickend..good job mate

[katyu16]

I'm sorry. I misunderstood your prev posts. It sounded like you being a smartass about skydiving. Sorry. We see this often. Someone who's done one tandem and they're an expert on skydiving.

Description reads: "AFF Training Skydive to low pull & cutaway. Linetwists at or below 2000ft"

This means: AFF Training Skydive (period), then "to low pull & cutaway" (explaining what happened). then "Linetwists at or below 2000ft" = another discription. Nowhere says AFF requires low cutaway.

[Superbruv07]

That looked like seriously high winds!

[RyyeDawg]

Even though you weren't very smart at pulling that low, I think you did an awesome job by cutting away immediately once you had the line twists.

[dutchtreat42088]

nice

[dutchtreat42088]

badd ass

[LeanderRandom]

the reserve parachute almost malfuncutioned too!

[peterliemberg]

In skydiving it is important not to get into deep shit, but even more important - once in - knowing how to get out of it again. Good job!

[basejumper3]

WOW! Very quick thinking and decision making on your part probably saved your life. Some people may have fought those twists a little longer and cut b/c of panic, which, obviously would have been too late. A bad spin goes from a minor mal to a very bad situation with a main dump at that altitude. Do you know when you cutaway? It looked like around 1,100 ft. You dumped your main around 1,900 ft from what your altimeter said and the seconds I counted.

[LCPStud]

You are a retard for dumping so low.

But good job on not wasting time on the cutaway.

[bombaykaizoku]

Yeah but you held onto the cables :)

[MarkyMarkSaffa]

Why did u pull so low?

[MarkyMarkSaffa]

@TheDakinesurfahboi grow up child! It doesnt say in the desription why he pulled low in first place does it now?

[MarkyMarkSaffa]

@TheDakinesurfahboi Highly doubt that a requirement for AFF training is pulling low, kid!

[MarkyMarkSaffa]

@TheDakinesurfahboi wreck me? lol, are u 10? Ive read all the comments - whats your point? Actually dont answer that, im tired of playing your childish games...

[WelcomeToMyDream]

@TheDakinesurfahboi - must pull low for AFF? Retard?

[katyu16]

@TheDakinesurfahboi

@TheDakinesurfahboi

I think you've got "Hanging Ten" while surfing confused somehow with "Pulling Low".

AFF training does not involve pulling low.

Since you're obviously not a skydiver why are you pretending to be one here? Any skydiver can tell you don't skydive.

[blueskies1980]

case of beer for the lost handles :D

[TheShmagmanator]

Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!

[jdk04065]

When I saw that second line twist I about shit, can't imagine how u must have felt

[DreamsCatcher101]

Bet he wished he would have pulled sooner after that.

[nite97m]

One of the AFF eval jumps 'round these parts involves a low pull. Dunno if I'd ever be ready for that jump...

[unciePaul]

I am curious as to how an AFF jumper has so much of his own gear? looks pretty new... I was (am) jumping hire gear and eating two minute noodles to afford jumping!

[Scrumpot]

@unciePaul The "AFF Jumper" is not really a student at all, but rather, an instructor EVALUATOR. This is clearly a vid of one of the OP's AFFI TRAINING/Eval jumps being made, necessary to earn his AFF instructional rating. The "student" is actually his instructor EVALUATOR.

[unciePaul]

@Scrumpot That occured to me after I posted, but thanks all the same! :p

[saiedrox]

if you did this if you did that blah blah blah!

he knows damn well what he did

mate you just dead set cracked me up!

"wooo that was fuckin dumb"

bet your glad you had your camera on you hey?

[alekseik]

that was cool!

[Melkemann84]

Ha, that was sooo not necessary! If you'd pulled a bit higher, you would have time to fix it...

But, extremely fast decision on emergency procedure! Thumbs UP!

[drizzrr]

I'm guessing since it was an AFF, he was pulling low to beat the student down so he could talk him in. He jumped on the cutaway right away and def a skilled landing spot. great vid and way to walk away.

[Scrumpot]

@drizzrr That would be a bad guess, then. Buzzzzzzzzz... Oops, sorry - next contestant. Wanna guess again? ;-)

[rrr1sportrider]

You dropped your handles lol

[neomuttley]

I usually watch these vids w/o sound. Did you call yourself a dumb*ss @the end? If you've the skill to land it (nicely) in that little teeny weeny clearing? You know better than to pull so low. Lesson learned, i hope.

[ryandsucks]

Why did you take it down so far? You tracked for 14 seconds.. You were obviously aware of your altitude, looking at your altimeter for a good few seconds before pulling.. ? Not flaming, just curious.

[noserider207]

why did you take is so low?? nice job though

[jamesaddison81]

sweet

[4ampato]

aff ?????? with this chute ?? .. wtf !

[ninemen123]

@4ampato yeah and booties? hmmmmm?? But the cutaway man seeing the second set of twists would freak me right out.

[abanchon36]

good job finding a place to land.

[z750x]

Nice kramar...you had 500' more experience than stupidity on that jump, and a lucky clearing

[flyboy6753]

where u planning to land there?

[l0lkie]

very nice and fast decision, great words after :D

good job anyway

[bigky226]

Nice one bro

[thejakcal]

Gui did a good job playing a AFF student.

[akaye10]

I think his ending comments pretty much summed that up

[mchamp3802]

looks like he was going through the instructors course?

[bmwerner]

wow the last time you look at you alt is 2631 way to go dirty low puller

[blueskies1980]

high enough, (i think between 1500 and 2000 ft) and a nice landing spot!!

[MickJRobinson]

Mate.... How low where you when you pulled the reserve!!

[katyu16]

How low did you pull? Looked far too low...

[NYJerry13]

was that a practice evl jump

[Streetsignsdontlie]

that looks so scary but amazing.
