Video from trip to Switzerland
6 days and 13 jumps with Team Crank and friends. I didn't take my camera so all the footage I have is of me. What a shame Cool.

Great jumps and beautiful pictures, but next time for Yellow (and La Mousse) don't land in that field but cross the road and land on the path perpendicular to the road. Also, a group of ten jumping that bridge during the day was not wise.

Have fun and Enjoy Switzerland!

Hi Gus, just to satisfy my curiosity, how many jumps before your first stowed ?
and what margin of error did you give yourself ? Wink

Some footage to frighten your grandchildren with there mate...very cool.

1st stowed was number 13 I think. That jump's a bit odd, you have about 1000 ft but have to deploy at around 4 seconds if you want to make the landing area, so I did about 4 seconds.

Thanks for the heads up dude. Are those the 'standard' landing areas? Maybe that info should go in Horner somewhere. Or maybe it's already in there I need to learn to read better!
