mantebi 0 #1 November 20, 2003 If you have 5000 + jumps, I would like 5-6 sentences about your ultimate advice to intermediate jumpers regarding general safety. This is to be published in PIER MEDIA's book: The Skydiver's Survival Guide (2nd Edition). ----------------------- This assignment may sound slightly vague so I am enclosing a sample below. In addition, I need you to email a picture and a brief bio with your jump experience and jump number. please email me your image and text to : marcusantebi@aol.com ------------------------------ sample: John Grimlad D-10967 6500 jumps First Jump 1989 "I've seen more friends get hurt or go in making dangerously low turns intentionally and unintentionally. Never execute a turn you can't recover from beforeimpacting the ground"! If you are learning how to do high performance landings, understand the risks. Learn from experienced people. Take your time. Hook turns are learned over thousands of jumps." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #2 November 20, 2003 Who was the one who said this in the Ground Rush flic "Hooks turns are when you screwed up and have to go to the hospital". Kevin Gibson? It's a little dated, but there's some good info in your Ground Rush and Breakaway videos. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mantebi 0 #3 November 20, 2003 k. gibson did say that. in this sport what happened yesterday is dated. Break-away, Fly like a pro, and ground rush, and pack like a pro are still relevant. would you not give any one of these to a newbie? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So would it count as a hook turn when he landed off and downwinded into farm equipment, resulting in a trip to the hospital? Kidding, Rahlmo, you know I love ya.
