the dark side

[rocketdog 0]

i mostly freefly, but the past 10 or so jumps i have been doing RW (well, i try!). i have never pictured myself being that excited about belly flying. anyway, it was awesome & even though the dives went to hell, it was a great touch of variety..... does anyone here ever get this feeling from freeflying or some other discipline?

I think a diversity in skydiving disciplines is a good idea, I shoot alot of video but recently Ive been leaving the camera suit in the bag and getting out on some rw and sit fly jumps. Its been a nice change!

"the dark side" has always been CrW

IMO - all the disciplines have something to offer. Anyone just restricting themselves to a single one is shortsided and losing something they could have from this hobby. I did some great freefly jumps this weekend, even though my favorite is always 4-way. And that was even better this weekend.

My closest friends in the sport are mostly fun jump FF'rs. I went the team RW rout, so I rarely get to play in the air with them.

Every now and then I'll take a vacation from team training and treat myself to some no pressure FF jumps with my buds: To reconnect with them in the air. To remind myself that it's not all just about technical accuracy. To see how badass they've gotten since last time we've jumped together.

I always come down with a grin.

I love those jumps. For me, it's like the skydiving equivalent of a steak dinner.

I keep them rare. I want them to remain special.
