How not to skydive !

[xdaughertyx]

Ok, ok. that was a sitfly attempt. I thought you were trying to stick your arms back to arch. lol I was laughing my ass off. So bad my headphones fell out. Nice video.

[suofford]

ARCH !!!!!

[2handle2hard]

I think you did good, if this was your first time sitfly :)

[emantabrizi]

LOL!!! I'm laughing now. I hope that's not me when I jump for the first time.

[Mrcherokee19]

in order to flip yourself back over, arent you supposed to put one arm in close to your body with the other arm extended out and pivot your body towards the arm that is close to your body then restabalize yourself once you have flipped back over.

[zozodart]

@Mrcherokee19 Exactly x) And you're supposed to be curve with the pelvis forward

[jonny96]

@CardMagician3434 Thats the fish eye lens, you need to be at least 45000-50000 before you even start noticing the curve

[kamarulx]

man this must be difficult..

[elliotclapp]

1. you can see the horizon from the ground!

2. the curve of the earth is from the fish eye lens

3. Learning to sitfly is very hard when first starting out. He did well!

[kleinesmaenchen]

where is his altitude awareness ???

[celloprofundo]

Napoleon Divermite..."Turn OVER, Gomer!" hahaha, that was funny...wonder if your parachute was twice as big if you could stay up twice as long?

[LeanderRandom]

1 arm in and do a barrle roll...

[97rhyssa]

looks fun

[Braga263]

He went well... The sitfly position is very hard in the beggining.

[IAMLOST]

Perfect backfly!

[titaniotti]

@IAMLOST LOL VEY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gameygamey90]

wow there falling at a great hight you can see the earths horizon

[lolatmyaccounts]

@gameygamey90 You can see the horizon just by looking at the sea

[andsongomes]

He is need pratice in a skyventure.

[cbkyro]

A for effort dude. That was freakin hilarious! Ride that F'er to the ground!

[cbkyro]

A for effort dude. That was freakin hilarious!

[gemaise82]

esta perdidito!

[Narimon]

He is losing the control :D 

[ivandawgg]

It's like a fat man can't get out of his bed xD

[dsessom]

Well, ya gotta learn sometime... I bet the poor guy felt like puking after all that spinning and tumbling. LOL

[chunter5100]

it's easier with a sit-fly suit...

[einarknutsen]

This is "Why to skydive!"

[christo359]

putin il a eu cho le mec !!!!

[yangwushu]

@christo359 Perso je me suis tapé un fou rire devant xD

[nukular0]

The Earth only looks round because they used a camera with a wide-agel lense ;)

[nikiosko]

How long did you take to reach the ground? O.o

[Monstertexas70]

Look at the earth. its circle:)

[moderndani]

nice jump but check your altimeter more often

[jayzzlenozz]

@moderndani yeah seriously. also, make sure you know exactly when to pull your shoot. you look pretty new to the sport.

[jayzzlenozz]

@moderndani yeah seriously. also, make sure you know exactly when to pull your shoot. you look pretty new to the sport.

[Zilounay]

@moderndani You must have an audible altimeter to perform a freefly jump. This does not allow you to ignore your regular altimeter, but it helps :)

[lllBlueSkieslll]

@Zilounay You don't necessarily HAVE to have one. But it is a GREAT deal safer to have an audible along with a regular altimeter.

[Zilounay]

@lllBlueSkieslll Ow, I don't know if its in Belgium only ( where i live & jump ) or simply only my dropzone, but they refuse freeflyers if they don't have an audible alt.

And i definitly agree with them, that's why i said ' must '.

Anyway, have a nice day ^^

Blueskies

[lllBlueSkieslll]

@Zilounay There are certain dropzones that require you to have them and there are some that don't. I know that when I started learning to sitfly, I didn't have one. I was sat down by one of the coaches at my dropzone and was told that I should have one all the time, if I was really concerned about safety. So now I jump with one all the time.

It's the same as certain dropzones requiring that you have a AAD. There are dropzones in South America that require you to have them.

[Cheesepickles22]

@Bdogg91GP lol i can imgaine them ctching fire as they accelarate XD

[dadikkedude]

his ass was to fat

[Melthia]

Hahaha :D

[ethandigididog]

lmao!!!!



[aimGHOSTHD]

rofl

[26Basketball26]

its fascinating how you can see the roundness of earth

[daytonadave100]

I'm still alive guys!. ...and the sit flying is much better ha ha.. I must thank my mate for posting this vid lol

[MsObak]

ahahahhaha

[MeYuZic]

woahh how high was that? you can see the outline of the earthh

[SuperDave7089]

haha he was like a turtle. he just couldn't get off his back. haha

[uzack3]

@SuperDave7089 just like meghan fox!

[PotatoGunsRule]

I kept "potato chipping" and rotating around on my last two freefalls. I think my legs were bent upwards too far, I wasn't relaxed enough, and of course, my arch wasn't quite up to speed. First one I stabilized before pulling, second one though, I was still rotating when I pulled. No line twists though. Determined to get it right next time!

[tannerfilmsalot]

You're doing it wrong!

[stylmanxD]

stupid guy xD

[daytonadave100]

@stylmanxD knob

[daytonadave100]

@stylmanxD dont talk shite

[stylmanxD]

@daytonadave100 but this is extreme wrong O.o

[kweli25]

Ahahahaha, thanks mate, you made my day!!!!

[nerdswith8guns]

poor guy....i mean, seriously. it's a pretty expensive way to feel sea sick.

[dan0champ]

haha im no expert but im pretty sure he had his arms and feet in front of him which caused more drag on his front than back, he should have been arching the other way lol

[BRare4PRS11]

Great job. Almost ha it at 10 secs in. That looks really hard tho xP. Love the vid

[agenthelios]

This is when people start passing out from spinning and get vertigo...feels like sea sickness X10

[TheGodParticle]

Hahahahaha!!! Thats funny shit right there.

[MASTERZproductiouns]

lol the bermuda triagle is fkin wit him

[makka32]

Lol that's classic.

[archaettyx]

ahahahahahah

[mcnabj]

perfect form. He must be a SEAL.

[ctf6194life]

@mcnabj ....

[atreveteaz]

That's something I would definitely do in the future when I have perfected my skills in zero gravity. I will surely love it but I think I need to plant more guts to reap more later...

[dfysu]

He was just trying to be cool in the end he shit his pants

[daytonadave100]

@dfysu nope

[mcnabj]

he should become a navy seal.

[juniorguard4life]

At the end you can see person holding cam. Telling other jumper to relax his body

[julien2105]

Heuu What's the problem ? He try to learn chutass --'

[davidmeireles]

Why not?

Very simple training sitfly.

you can see in the last minute that his tracking is very good.

....'' How not to skydive ! '' (Don't understand).................

[ElBuenGringo]

Jerry Lewis goes skydiving.

[BOWHUNTAHAWG]

I couldent even try that. I mean WHAT IF so easy for somthing to go wrong.

[zepper0800]

Still better than me.....

[icuralmountains]

The camera dude i awesome to keep up with so many different fall rates. Definately alot better than my first,,,10 "sit" fly jumps.

[archreachthrow]

LOL.. I THOUGHT IT WAS ME FOR A SECOND

[jnathan310]

i thought he did good, sitflying is hard as hell to begin with

[Chris2687]

i think it was fun too!!! It is really not as easy as everyone thinks! grezz :-)

[DonMasakoni]

ach hat doch sicher auch spaß gemacht ^^

[OlympiaStoica]

He is learning to sitfly ... not that easy. He did pretty well, I was a lot worse on my first few attempts ...

[aaadrian0]

ahahahahahahahah fucken fail !!!

[DbozenD]

Relax people he was learning, sitfly its part of the training. But lool looks funny!

[houk3]

sit fly is hard to learn

like most of the things, everything is easy, once you know it..

[Soulflyer123]

aaaaahahahhahahahhahaha. nice one!

[simonhughes546]

Is it really that bad for a first attempt?

[OlympiaStoica]

Not at all; I was a lot worse on my first sitfly attempt ... and it took me 10 jumps and one hour of tunnel to finally be able to hold a sit ...

[pullybrit]

"From now on, your Delta Tau Chi name is Flounder"

[rokerijnoord]

This wasnt that bad?

[tfergy123]

OMFG this is hilarious, I was laughing so hard haha. This guy is like the biggest docuher ever.

[tim74660]

Are YOU a freeflyer???

[BrujoSabio]

WTF!!!! o.oO

[vadimuskoro]

Make him pass AFF AGAIN ! ! lol :D

[veronicachic]

lol ahhahaha this is hilRIOUS.

[twinkies4671]

im scared for him...

[scedabeep]

hahaha lol he was in trouble

[a50745]

heh, he shoulda learned to backfly first. nice effort tho

[elsoybeanmike]

Nice effort lol and it was waaay better than my first sit attempt. I was corking all over the place and was laughing hysterically throughout it. keep at it

[44kilo]

that was waaaay better that my first attempt to sit fly....havent made it yet though so stilllll trying!

[zyxy45]

By the title of the vid, I was expecting an awkward chute deployment, belly facing up. After all this guy may have done pretty well, the position doesn't matter until you pull the cord hehe.

True that he didn't seem perfectly comfortable with mastering positions. All jumpers must get through this phase.

This is part 1 of 2, to be continued ;-)

[BrazilianShark]

Definitely a great first attempt! He seems very relaxed while flying on his back and never turned to his belly.

I remember my first attempt and it was horrible, from the exit until pull, all I did was 300.000 uncontrolled loops :)

That jump was a reason for jokes for weeks :(

[Schwarztod]

he just seemed to be having a bit of a hard time flipping over ha ha I'm going to start the AFF course this weekend! Scared shitless, but I'll get over it.... I hope

[skydive911]

now that's what I call FREEfly!! :)

[falco566]

refreshing vid. If that's a 1st attempt at sitflying, not too bad! My first one, i was whirling like hell, second like his, third was so-so good, 5th I had it, and could make turns - it's all in the firm, symetric posture and relaxed attitude...

[shiftyfive666]

tis' funny. i laughed when he started flailing a little.

[daytonadave1]

Yeah, i was alive last time i checked my pulse lol. It was not my first jump, but it was first attempt to sit fly :-)

[redred4star]

wow....well done for first sit fly! i will learn it at Paraclete XP first! hope i will learn it faster then

[houseofherbie]

Dead my arse !!! That guy knew perfectly well how to skydive!!

i) You dont jump like that on a first jump with only one instructor and undocked.

ii) Did you see him tracking away at the end of the clip !! Hardly a first jump. :p

[tim74660]

He could have been a belly flier with several thousand jumps. freefly is completely different and even experienced belly fliers flop around for a while. There was a lot of movement and fall rate changes in the jump so it was pretty well filmed.

[criticalskaters3]

that guy is dead

[surfbum5412]

yeah that was comedy...but of course it gets easier the more times you do it.

[daytonadave1]

Not bad for first effort!
