The comment about someone shouldn't be freeflying with 70 jumps highlights an issue with the sport that I keep mentioning to anyone who will listen. We put far too much priority on jump numbers and not enough on actual skill level. I know people with 350+ jumps who can't dock or even leave stable that are flying cameras. I know the same people who haven't stood a landing in 350+ jumps. The learning curve is so vastly different for each jumper, the fact no one in the sport takes actual skill level into consideration absolutely baffles me. "Oh, you have 200 jumps? Sure, you can fly a camera. Nah, it doesn't matter that you can't dock without blowing the round apart or even land your canopy on your feet. Have fun" Love your videos, they're very informative. Just wanted to comment about that part. Maybe it'll help give you a little more patience with newer jumpers seeking out a discipline to try.
Thank you for the support! I was suggested that a few times now, it's complicated because I work full time managing a DZ and I record the videos at night in my dresser (silence at night and the clothes help with acoustics) so it's not good in terms of time, to invite guests etc. This format lets me include images of what I am speaking about, when I find them haha. cheers!
