Title: Learn to skydive in under 9 minutes
Post by: mechanic on August 03, 2015, 03:18:11 PM: A little collection off my gopro.

Thinking of learning to skydive?

Worrying about expensive training and confusing ratings?

Then look no further. In the educational video we will teach you everything you need to know to get started as a skydiver.

Screw AFF courses and long tedious staticline training. Forget about ground schools and constant weather holds.

If you want to be a skygod without wasting all that time, this is for you.

(and this is especially relevant to DZ planes :rolleyes:)

Clearly not America, jumping through cloud, tsk tsk! New Zealand obviously but all those hedged fields looks so familiar to someone from side of the world. What's the dropzone?

How not to do a six way exit was my favourite. One other rule when doing a six way is 'Tell the damm pilot'. That way he won't be surprised to find the nose pointing at the the sky and his airspeed ebbing away when you all rush for the exit!

Great vid!

Not necessarily, I watched as a girl who had a full days training spiral down in to a VERY low altitude under a partially opened canopy before the automatic device fired the reserve. The worst of it was she didn't even realised how close she came to becoming a lawn dart!

Those arent' clouds, it's 'industrial haze' ;)

Does make for some stunning backdrops though

Yes we get quite a lot of 'industrial haze' here too. Oh the stories I could tell! But I need to keep my licence.
