Snow Tubing In Killington Vermont

4 jumps in a day

This is how you envisage this as a skydiver: wake up in the morning, the sun smiles at you, you're already on the drop zone and then do four really cool jumps, of course, completely relaxed and without stress. Today was such a day, and was also time after the last two days offered only in the morning for good weather and it was always windy then. Since only a jump was possible.

am Today I was then four times in the air. Three times with Matt, we have our 2-RW qualities continue improved. Meanwhile, it works great and the jumps make a lot of fun. We have set a slightly heavier program that we have to bumpy start but then right on paper. Here is a picture of the Trackdive that one makes for a RW jump to a safe distance open the screen:


The fourth step was a 3-RW with Jens and Jogi. That is something we failed, but still made you feel good. At the end of the jump we have a star together, so we all held at the hands


we have rotated faster and faster until we hold by the centrifugal force and thus could not quasi are automatically separated. Super funny thing.

morning the weather is unfortunately something is bad, but we'll see, maybe there is one or the other nice jump possible. The weather is finally made on the site and not on the weather map.

First Ever Skydive Expo

The weather here in Florida is currently not so hot. This morning it is raining and it looks unlikely that the day is still much better. Even yesterday it has rained and there was even a tornado warning. But the weather changes quickly here, and tomorrow it will again be really sunny.

pointless sitting around the whole day at the campsite, we are on yesterday after DeLand a further drop zone down, where the first Skydive Expo is taking place. Different manufacturers of equipment provide Skydive there their latest achievements. The whole takes place in a relatively small hall, and is indeed quite interesting, but not so much that you could stay there for hours. Too bad if the weather were better we could do here even the odd jump.


DeLand is one of the largest Drop Zones in the world with various panning. I've seen some on the log space, but do not count. The PAC from which I am bound in Z-Hills and one of the Twin Otters are at home here.


DeLand is located 35 minutes north of Orlando. Today we will continue to Daytona and tonight back to Z-Hills to take tomorrow as much of the good weather.

2-way belly

After yesterday we were in Tampa with our motor home because the weather looked in the morning was not so great, today best jump pleasant weather at 31 degrees Celsius. I again made two jumps with Matt and I must say: it works better. Both jumps are extremely great fun and the first of them was my 50th. A very successful anniversary.

Both jumps we have always made 90 ° turns and are then flew together. In the second we managed to do even 5 points. When the load meeting, where the exit order is set, everyone says what he wants to do Springer and what he prefers. Next, we will determine the order. The whole thing is here in Florida, of course, held in English and since then it is always "2-way belly", ie formation of 2 in the stomach. And then comes the Pullhöhe, of course, walk the equivalent of, well, you have indeed learned from the license check as that.

Here again two images: this time I was standing outside the exit, then this will look just after the exit of:





Third Jump of the day then I have my own, so "solo belly". In the Zwichenzeit a few clouds were raised, which made for a beautiful backdrop. At last I can show you some pictures instead of the writing only. Here we go above the clouds of:


Finally, I've now bought another beautiful Freefly-pants, I can use to find my suit for diving. Images like this there's not yet. Just around the corner from the stock sale of Tony Suits and there's been is 30% off on all suits, so that I get real fancy pants for only 119 $. For comparison, a kind pants costs in Germany if they are ordered from € 200, has paid off.

For marbled weather is expected tomorrow, I hope we can at least make a few jumps in the morning, the story continues ...

I FILM U

In America you can make even his mark on the car or motorcycle the way you want. Yesterday was on the drop zone a motorcycle a videographer and photographers (I assume at least) with the label 'I FILM U ". That alone is already funny. It also fits well with this article because I did yesterday for the first time I jumped with a video camera.

yesterday I could make three jumps. Two alone to me a little getting used to the camera and another with Matthias. We have recovered a 2-RW tried. This time it worked much better already, we were much closer together all the time, was long but not yet perfect. We have even made it to the release and fly back together. However, only at about 2,000 meters, so that from then on we have no program is pulled.

The video itself will be the first to see if I'm back in Germany and the rest had to cut it a bit, because it is a bit boring. But there is definitely already had a taste, a few pictures of it. Yesterday it was pretty quiet, was indeed the week, so that only the PAC and also flew only 19 Loads are gone off. That would be in the way Hartenholm noticed a day with lots of activity. So, and finally the photos.

Shortly after the exit from the PAC:


Z-Hills from the air:


Skydive City from the air, landing path:


Finally, the jump with Matthias:



overshadowed the day was yesterday, unfortunately, by the fact that Phillip has broken out of our group during a landing his leg and had to be taken to hospital. Today it is operated on and then flies back to Germany. This has resulted in the holiday does not naturally presented. He is a the two AFF students who are mitgefahren and had just made his third jump. In this sense, get well soon!

This morning the weather has unfortunately become something worse, so I have time what to write. There are approximately 10,000 feet a cloud cover and therefore dropping aircraft flies just high. We'll see tomorrow and the day will it still be a little worse, then better again. In the meantime, we will probably go somewhere else and look at the area.
