Learning how to perform high speed approaches is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous activities in the sport of skydiving. Hundreds of people are seriously injured in this pursuit each year, and without the key concepts conveyed in this video package, you could be next. Offering core concepts necessary to begin and improve high performance approaches, the video will guide you from straight in through 90 degree turns, and the essential ideas will lead into larger turn radius approaches as well. Nearly thirty years of high performance parachute flight and over twenty years of parachute design and testing has provided Brian Germain a unique perspective of the topic of Swooping. As a United States Parachute Association Safety and Training Advisor and Canopy Flight Instructor, Brian has taught these core concepts all over the world, and now you can benefit from his experience. This is one of the most important videos we have created for advancing canopy flyers. We believe that if everyone who wants to learn to swoop were to watch this video, with the help of good on-site mentors, there would be far fewer accidents. If you don't own this video, you don't know what you don't know, and you are probably missing out on key ideas that you will need to survive.

untilThis particular canopy course will be modified with Saturday as a General Course open to all levels and Sunday as a Coaches and Instructors Course. The weather is looking questionable for jumping but the course will be held rain or shine. Make sure to bring your rig for Hanging Harness Training, VR Training, Ground Training, Packing and More. This live in person parachute flight safety course with Brian Germain, is one of the very best ways to gain both confidence and skill under canopy. This in person canopy flight skills and safety course allows for the added benefit of filmed and debriefed landings, specific questions and a customized approach. Topics vary depending on the group but may include, parachute aerodynamics, canopy control, dynamic maneuvers, flight safety, collision avoidance, flying in turbulence, navigation, patterns and accuracy, landings, advanced approaches, adrenaline management and other relevant topics. The focus of the camp is canopy skills, but it goes deeper than other courses because individual hanging harness training is performed to dial in your techniques, and discover if your harness requires adjustments. Brian does formation flights with as many participants as time allows, using an amazing two way communication system which also records the conversation to a camera used for filming the flight together. To find examples of these flights, offering an incredible opportunity to learn your individual parachute, Google or search YouTube for "Talking Skydives" videos. Brian gives everyone skill drills for each jump, films the landings and debriefs performance. Then he gives drills for the next jump that will help dial in the areas that need focus. Course participants typically do three jumps per day, weather permitting, usually from 7000 feet. The course is open to all levels, and Brian will field any question on any topic, so you can individualize the course. Brian adapts the course based on the need and experience of the group. The range of experience typically spans 25 jumps up to several thousand. This course meets the USPA B license requirement and is one of the best investments you can make to become a safer and more skilled canopy pilot.

Thanks for your help and the new site is looking great.

OH WOW! That is exactly the same place I got my info from but I just realized that my numbers were for WHITE males and not all races. Good catch! Funny thing is if you select African American male, DC has the lowest life expectancy at 71. So if you are white and privlaged DC is the way to go but everyone else is hosed. Hawaii would be sweet if only you could bring all of your extended family and friends. Yikes about the CO thing. Wonder what the deal is with that!

I had a similar thought that all the greats of my youth are now getting towards the end of their lives. With the heavy drugs often associated with touring and stardom they are lucky if they make it close to the average life span of a US male which is currently around 76. Just fyi, life expectancy is greatly impacted by the US state in which you live. DC the highest at 82, WV the lowest at 72. CANOPY COURSE Video Training with Brian Germain at AdventureWisdom.com

That's a really great point in regards to the distraction of a team member having to manage the device. Since it's a device using GPS and not taking into consideration other canopy traffic it could pose a collision/entanglement issue. It would not even be able to see the other traffic. It's a huge under taking but still a very interesting project. It will definitely be neat to see where it goes. CANOPY COURSE Video Training with Brian Germain at AdventureWisdom.com

This one might be fake but back in 2001 when I was a newbie I had a real close call. I had just deployed after a two way and I looked up and over to the other skydiver who was about 200 feet away from me (bad tracking back then) and then a single engine private plane literally flew in between us. It was 100 feet from me. I was a bit freaked out at the time but now a pilots license and 1000+ jumps later it down right pisses me off. Any pilot that can't be bothered to look at a sectional and either tune in or steer clear does not deserve a license. Wish I had know to get the tail numbers...OK that's my vent. Now back to the regularly scheduled programming. CANOPY COURSE Video Training with Brian Germain at AdventureWisdom.com
