earth2eric 12 #7 September 21, 2012 Whats the tracking camp going to be like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #8 September 21, 2012 Quote Whats the tracking camp going to be like? a bunch of people exiting planes and translating across the sky achieving horizontal movement over the land, then at a pre-designated altitude they'll deploy their parachutes and hopefully, in an ordely manner, direct said patachutes towards the landing area of the DZ. Where they will attempt to land their canopies in a manner where everyone walks back to the packing area safe and sound. Well that's the plan You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tmccann 1 #9 September 21, 2012 I imagine DSE can fill you in on the official pitch, but in case you're in a rush to decide, I can give my recollection as an unaffiliated student in at the last one they did. It entailed ground school on body position taught by instructors from the wingsuit school and several tracking dives split into smaller groups with coaches, with video debrief after each. I had a great time, learned a ton, and hope to make this one as well, schedule permitting. T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LiborJanicek 0 #11 September 26, 2012 I'm interested in the tracking event. I'm only able to make the event on Friday and ready to learn how to fly my tracking suit better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #12 September 27, 2012 QuoteI'm interested in the tracking event. I'm only able to make the event on Friday and ready to learn how to fly my tracking suit better Libor, we'd _love_ to see you jumping with us. The AfterBurner tracking camp consists of training from all of the Skydive Elsinore Wingsuit School coaches (Joel, Tom, Darren, and myself). We spend the first bit of the morning on a tuffet trainer working on body positions, and then break out into groups of 3-4 people and do slot-specific tracking jumps. We'll emphasize exits and navigation, plus body position. It's a lot of fun, everyone tells us they enjoy the way we brief/jump/debrief each jump (with video). It's essentially the same format as the well-known Excel camps. Hope to have you join us! [edit] just saw you're only here on Friday. We can work with you a bit between jumps; the tracking camp is only happening on Thursday. We'll have an extra organizer here on Friday, find me and I'll take some time out to get you rockin!

LiborJanicek 0 #13 September 28, 2012 Hey DSE, Just check our production calendar and Thursday turns out to be way slower than Friday which is usually not the case. So change of plan, going to try and make it out on Thursday. Can I fly my tracking suit during camp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #14 September 28, 2012 No tracking suit during the camp (not safe nor useful in a small formation unless everyone else is wearing them). However...You'll learn more than you're already doing, and will be able to apply it to the tracking suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uberchris 0 #15 September 29, 2012 im curious: if i pay for the excel basic canopy flight course on thursday, will that be enough to get my canopy proficiency card signed off, or is that something that i have to do with a one-on-one coach?gravity brings me down.........

sydneyowen 1 #16 September 30, 2012 Hey there! Yes, the EXCEL Canopy courses meet the B-License proficiency requirements, that's why we created the program!

iluvtofly 0 #18 October 8, 2012 A friend posted this on facebook this morning. I know he was at Chicks Rock. Hopefully someone sees it today! QuoteATTENTION SKYDIVERS: STOLEN GEAR!!!

ZigZagMarquis 9 #19 October 8, 2012 Did he report it to the local PD? I had a rig stolen years ago and never reported it to the local PD and figured I should have given the price of gear. Also, was it stolen from his car or hotel room? A friend of mine had his gear back stolen from his car while at a hotel one night. Not sure why, but he thought to check the dumpsters in the area and he found most of his gear... figured who ever stole it didn't know what they had and just dumped it. Anyway, good luck to your friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have reports been made to the police? Badly. Plane currently grounded badly. Federal offense badly. Rewards being offered by the DZOs for any info badly. Everyone at the DZ this weekend was equally pissed off and sure as hell hoping it wasn't "one of us." And yes, the FAA, the police, all the relevant folks are involved with the Otter damage (I don't actually know re: the stolen gear, but I certainly hope they've reported it to the police as well)."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
