You seriously are a game changer for the skyfam. Especially us greenhorns. This channel absolutely brings the best content for this genra in the platform.
Hi Catherine! I'm a B Cop with 227 jumps. Just experienced my 1st cut away July 3rd. Canadian skydiving is a short season, and working on a C Cop. Hope to be in the sky July 6th for a canopy course. Jumped with Brian Germain 10 years ago, great guy. Keep up the good work!
Good questions lead to good answers. Thank you to all the folks who sent in their questions. If you have more that you want to ask, please send me a note through Facebook or Adventurewisdom.com
I love you and Brian, I love what you do Guys. I've had pleasure to meet Brian, and he is so a cool man😊 hope i will meet you also one day in the skys Katrin 😉 take care both of you 👋
Flying and landing came really natural and easy to me, I think because I grew up flying stunt kites which seemed very similar to controlling my canopy.
Watching your videos make me think that a big lack in the skydiving knowledge is the exit order between different groups and disciplines. Do you think you can maybe make a video about it? :) Blue skies!
Engineering alert when you land with a great big long lever arm called a wing attached of strings and hanging on your weight with your foot the lever arm inside that joint is very tiny if you can hit with both feet at the same time you take the rotation out on those displaced ankle joints that have a longer lever arm so it's less damaging birds land with both feet at once usually.
A word to the Wise if you're an expert skydiver and you're an expert Swooper don't let somebody talk you into flying a 6m Speed Wing (paraglider) you will be surprised at the difference LOL... Great video thanks for posting...
On my tandum jump the instructor taught me that i needed to bend and hold my legs. He pulled the shoot and said "by the way, the winds changed, were landing on our feet"..uhh ok then lol
in the minute 11:12 he ( th-cam.com/users/BSGermain ) shows a drawing that i found very interesting, he talks about glide ratio and having a rough estimate between my glide ratio and the wind against me (when facing the wind) can he elaborate on that, or even make a video so that i can do it by my own(like for example what could be my glide ratio on my sabre 2 150 etc etc)
Last time I went skydiving I broke my leg on landing due to used, improper fitting fitting rental equipment (The leg strap slipped on a very hard pull and snapped my leg backwards, causing so much pain I couldn't use it). The drop zone near me does not have any better selections. Im at 64 jumps. I swore I would never use rented gear again. Saving for my own new full rig and having a hard time justifying buying a 210. last jump was on 210. Any advice from anyone on buying a 190? Good idea or bad idea?
I have no advice for you, but I triple-fractured and totally dislocated my right ankle on my 3rd jump (and hopped onto my feet right after “landing” to gather the canopy real quick cuz there was some wind, not knowing I had broken it, and instantly felt that it was fkd and went down to my ass when I tried to stand on it). Could see the bone dislocated above my shoe. Mannnnn it sucked for damn near a year. I can only imagine how much worse yours was 😱. Take care mate.
I was on a DZ in the 90's and swooping was gaining popularity. Then a guy comes "swooping in" misjudged a few variables and hit hard...affectively ripping his ass cheek off....skydiving is shits and giggles enough without swooping. But go ahead...I just don't watch.
Who should we invite next? Would you like some Live Q&A too?
Darlene Kellner is a very highly rated and safety focused instructor, and wonderful person!
@@jasonkip Definitely. Darlene is one of my favorite people.
Would love to see Kurt and Jeanie Bartholomew
@@andrewwhite8833 good one!!
Felix Baumgartner!!!!

Hope to be in the sky July 6th for a canopy course.
Jumped with Brian Germain 10 years ago, great guy.

Was it scary? (The cut away)
So many questions that I have searched his channel for answered in one video.
Super glad it helped!!

Attended a canopy piloting course in Finland by Brian. He was very nice and accommodating.
Would recommend 👍
This google maps thing helped me so much!!
Thanks for posting this video! And thanks Brian!
Brian is the man!
You should see if you can interview more canopy pilots as well! Curt Bartholomew would be another interesting one
I love you and Brian, I love what you do Guys. I've had pleasure to meet Brian, and he is so a cool man😊 hope i will meet you also one day in the skys Katrin 😉 take care both of you 👋
I have read The canopy + pilot book and done the canopy-piloting course with Brian :)
Correction, The Parachute and its Pilot is the title. Might want to re-read it! LOL :-)
love that you guys got to collab. been subbed to both your channels for a while

Great video, guys! Thanks! 🙏🏽

Do you think you can maybe make a video about it? :)
Blue skies!

Who should we have next on the channel? Let me know in the comments!
Just get Brian on again and again. He's worth his weight in gold.

Did he said thers a video called “surviving to swooping”??
Yes, go check out on his website haha
Yup, Surviving Swooping. www.adventurewisdom.com/store/Training-Videos-c7094902

Great video, but I will NEVER swoop. LOL.
Great video Catherine! Thank you for doing this... Brian is such a knowledgeable person! My IG is @ksquared_actual
Skydiving -the sober persons heroin
yep

Thanks very good learning from me in Danmark 🇩🇰🪂👍
