Deuce 1 #684 December 22, 2005 QuoteQuoteQuoteHey have the winds been doing No wind today or yesterday to speak of. Damm.. that sucks.... NOT! Um, well, it does sort of suck, in a good way. For those of us who jump pretty highly loaded canopies at sea level where there is usually a breeze, that first landing at Eloy in calm winds can be pretty, uh, focusing. Eloy does a great job at briefing, but there will be more canopy traffic than a whole lot of people have ever seen. Touchdown speeds can be the fastest a jumper has ever put their feet down. The type of landing you want to be able to do is to flare enough to get your feet down, bleed off the speed with your shoes as you swoop out while you finish the flare, and not end up running so fast you face-plant. I remember Karen hurting her leg a few years ago, and I don't know if the difference in altitude landing performance was a factor. I tore the heck out of my knee one year trying to run one out a few years back. Both landing areas at Eloy are like giant pool tables. Well groomed, flat, and free of obstacles. But they are at about 1800 feet (sorry Bets, is that close?) so your 150 is much more of a 135 and so on. Take that first landing at Eloy VERY SERIOUSLY, just like you were downsizing, if you haven't done that before. You Colorado folks can just move along.
