Icon134 0 #934 August 25, 2008 my camera's spent most of the weekend on the ground... since I was doing CRW... but it gave me a chance to play with some newly aquired glass... the Canon 24-105 f/4L which I got to take pictures in the landing area out in front of the hanger. 1st shot is of Niklas Hemlin practicing landing the 500 sq ft American flag. 2nd is of a couple experienced demo jumpers landing a biplane. 3rd is Kritter (on of our videographers/AFF-I's) shutting down his canopy at the end of a swoop. 4th is of Garrett one of the local upjumpers just finishing off his swoop and smiling for the camera guy.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

Laszloimage 0 #937 September 5, 2008 New York hail storm. We flew into it just about half way through the exit count, when I saw the first pea size pelet depositing one of the girl's jump suit. Then I knew it will be bad... It was F*%$n' terrible!!! Some of those guys in the images had a bleeding face after the jump! But hey! The shots have that unique look at least. It appears to be a meteor shower. Am I right? -Laszlo- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zee 0 #938 September 5, 2008 That jump sucked! At least the shots turned out to be pretty wild. I still have little bruises all over the place I posted an exit shot from the hail jump and a few others of you in the other thread here Action©Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #939 September 8, 2008 I love exit shots... there's so much energy that's being released... The Hoop dive exit was taken late afternoon and the uppers were comming out of the northwest so we were flying into the sun... I really like the energy of this shot... 6Sept2008-1 is a shameless picture of my girlfriend about to go through the hoop for the first time (of three successful passes) 6Sept2008-2 is of the 8-way team Black hole skydivers... chucking an 8-way out of the grand caravan on a later load in the day.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

billvon 2,991 #945 September 8, 2008 >Some of those guys in the images had a bleeding face after the jump! I find it funny that a lot of people will jump through rain and swear it's ice because it hurt so much. Then one day they jump through actual ice . . . My criterion is that if there are no bruises or blood, it wasn't ice. I once jumped through hail and got my chin bloodied pretty good. My arms where my jumpsuit alone was covering them got pretty deep bruises; where both my jumpsuit and my T-shirt were protecting me I got much lighter bruises.

BMFin 0 #946 September 9, 2008 Well this is definetly irrelevant to this topic, but a lot of times rain on the ground is "ice" in the air..As you might know it is often quite cold at altitude and the freezing point of water is lower at lower air pressure.. Definetly rare to hit a hail storm like this, but often I have seen ice in freefall and yet I havent been bleeding.. Ice might be a bit more rare in Cali though ...Definetly Cool Pics anyway..
