Dont forget to check out our other videos at http://www.firestormfilms.com.au to get a taste of our usual flavour. Its all action sports based so im sure you'll appreciate our work!

SKYDIVE NAGAMBIE FULL MOON BOOGIE 2010.
An Australian Skydiving Event that is just four days of fun and games. About 100 + skydivers, from all around the world catch up for a crazy four days of partying and jumping in the sleepy old town of Nagambie in Country Victoria, Australia.

FSF was lucky enough to get invited to hang out with these cats. We loaded up a motor home with an edit suite and we set up our edit base at the drop zone. People would jump then drop off their footage they shot and we would compile a day tape for them to watch each night. It was something new to us, but as always we had a great time.
This clip is the best of the 80+ hours of footage we got over the four days, the clip is filmed and edited FSF style so i hope you enjoy. feel free to leave a comment or rate it if you think it needs to be rated.

As always FSF would like to thank Launch Helmet Cams for all their assistance when it comes to onboard cameras.

Tom from ILLUSIVE RECORDS has once again supplied us with a great track courtesy of of ILLUSIVE RECORDS and the band LOWRIDER.

Nice clip, a little long, and shows a few things only jumpers will catch, like intentional cutaway's & a wingsuit Tandem, (hope that isn;t becoming a norm in Aus)

Overall, a fun video!

That was a lot of fun to watch. You really mixed pretty much everything into those few minutes. I liked the song too. Very nice

What's the deal with the reserve ride at the end? Looks like the cutaway handle in the jumpers hand (and free) yet the main still appears to be connected?

I liked it overall, but the constant stream of jumpcutting got hard for me to watch after a bit. Needed a few longer sections here and there to break it up. I couldn't watch it full screen on my monitor here was "too much" had to watch is at std youtube window size.

Other than that, nice video!

I understand that the rig in question was an Atom with integrity (reverse) risers. I don't recall what the problem was now however.

As it was explained to me by another Rigger who was there the pressure exerted by the reserve risers against the integrity risers of the main was enough to delay release by pressing against the small ring of the 3-rings

The Atom is very popular around here, I have one with reverse risers. Well I should say I had, because I changed them for UPT risers after having heard of three and witnessed one case of non-released riser after a cutaway.
The problem comes in a few configurations, mainly when spinning on your back with a highly loaded elliptical: the three ring is pressured in between the main and reserve risers and can't release. It's easy to do manually after having pulled the cutaway handle, but what a waste of very precious time...

Problem solved with standard risers.
