swooping pics

Recommended Posts

I posted this in Gerneral Skydiving Discussions as well, but thought I'd also try here. What are some good websites that I can download really good swooping pics from? I have already gone to a couple of dropzone websites, Pro Swooping Tour, Go Fast Sports, Big Air Sports. Any ideas?

Fast Swooping!

One of my kinesiology professors is starting to put together her lecture for a class (Exercise PhysiologyII) for next semester and she is including a brief section about terminal velocity, impact, etc. She doesn't have any pics of today's canopies-I had to explain them to her-so I thought I'd send her a bunch of good pics depicting what you can do today with canopies. Something to show the students that they're not used to seeing... ;)

Oh, well here's one of me then. :ph34r: Shame the image is a bit grainy and has poor colours (it is grabbed from video and the light is coming straight behind me [:/] ).

I think you could ask from PD if you could use their images since they have alot of good swoopping images on their site.

He ended up touching down about 10 feet before the hanger and then jumped up and planted his hands and feet on the wall. He left four huge dents and the owner almost kicked the shit out of him.

Mike had just gotten that Sabre 2 120 and he was getting his swoops down. This particular one was kind of cross-wind and he wasn't use to that.

Anyway, the cameraman was using my camera and he put it down at about the time the canopies shadow went up the hanger. That really pissed me off, because that would have been Real TV shit.

Anyway, Mike now has to fix the hanger or the owner will fix him.
