faulknerwn 38 #6 October 19, 2006 Nah - my photo was 180 kb instead of the required 120 so it didn't go! Unfortunately I had to crop the heck out of it to manage to make it into the correct size :-( So it doesn't look nearly so nicely framed now!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quack 0 #10 October 24, 2006 Those are some great shots! Mine would be the one I use in my avatar. It's my 1000th, taken from the ground. The other is of my old team, taken in Eloy by Mike McGowan.

quack 0 #14 October 25, 2006 QuoteHow'd you manage that, were you using deathstraps? Or "just" leglocks? Looks very kewl We got into a 3-way stack, and the top two guys get into a parabatics grip with their legs. They both hang onto my leading edge while getting into the grip and gently split the canopies, so that it didn't go directly into a downplane (good safety tip). Then I got really light on the toggles to help them 'pull' me up. Once my canopy snuck in between theirs I just hung onto their legstraps, one in each hand. From there on the two outside guys have total control with their toggles and I'm just along for the ride! When the thing goes downhill, it goes!

Very difficult to do. Pretty cool being able to pull it off! Thanks! The best part is when it's time to break. The middle guy just lets go of their legstraps and swings out.

CaTo 0 #16 October 25, 2006 just three out of many, it's hard to find 'the best crw pic' since every picture can have something special This first one I really like since it has a different angle: taken from the front, and shows the whole team in action the second one was one of the first try-outs with a fish-eye. And of course the natural pose for a crw-dog after a successful jump: showing off for the camera and then the third is more a try-out of being artistic blue is obviously my favorite color Caren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrianM 1 #23 October 26, 2006 QuoteHow did the cameradude keep up with them? You mean when it's in a downplane? He doesn't. He starts off very close, is flying a small canopy, and spirals hard. It still gets away from him, but not before he gets some decent pictures."It's amazing what you can learn while you're not talking." - Skydivesg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
