There’s lots of experience out there, so new birds doesn't have to go through the stupid mistakes some of us did.
Let's go through an opening the way I love it!
First you have to smile, that will make you relax more. Hahahah...
Don't fight it, just ride it, as we all know!
Know where you are, and open in a safe altitude.
Look at the horizon take a deep breath and think, it is soon time for a super good opening, hehehehe….
Bring your legs together, bend your knees a bit and make sure your ankles are together through the whole opening. This is will give you a more upright position at pull time and that is good. It also helps you to be symmetrical through the whole opening. Not only that, a collapsed leg wing will not catch any air and work as a propeller as your parachute streams. Who wants linetwists?
As soon as you have got your legs together and have a more upright position, you are ready to deliver your nylon, hehehe
Go inn with both hands to keep stable, and then pull. Throw it out hard, and get your arms back out in to a flying position. This will keep your upper body more upright and also give you more balance.
When your parachute is completely open, then separate your legs and do all your things!
Don’t reach up and try do grab any thing before the parachute is open. Rather try to balance the opening. Don’t fight it, just ride it!
This method works very well and will for sure give you a good opening every time.
If you are more advanced and want a super good “fall into pillows openings”
You then might want to try out this next advice.
After separation from your bird friends, point your head down and pick up lots of speed. Plane out and go almost horizontally, flare, sit up and pull. (Now it is extremely important to sit up otherwise you will have a relative head down opening.)
You sensation should now be like pulling in sub terminal out of the door.
I prefer a mushroom base pack of my pilot chute, because that makes the pilot chute inflate faster. A longer bridle than standard is also a good thing.
Wingsuit flying gives the best openings that skydiving can offer.
