Andrey my friend, nice video ... take care ... you are still young...

As awesome as this is, it just screams incoming fatality...

So what are you trying to say? That if he stops he will live forever? Check out your sig line("Dream as you'll live forever, live as you'll die today." James Dean). Try understanding it.
Take care and nice video.

I know I seem a bit hypocritical if you look at this that way...

It's like all that talk in the thread started by 434. If he constantly keeps pushing it like this (when there's absolutely no room for error anymore) he's bound to make a mistake sooner or later and go in.. We're humans, we always make a mistake, it's unavoidable..

It's like all these newbies popping out in DZ.com saying "I'm planning on going from 150 Sabre to 150 Stiletto at 30 jumps". In a way it's the same with Andrey, except that he has the skills to handle that "150 stiletto" in most decent situations, but if he pushes it too hard too often he's just bound to make that one fatal mistake sooner or later (and it usually proves to be sooner, than the ones who don't push that hard)..

Like someone above me said: "Andrey you're still young, take it slow".

Some feel that it is their mission to push themselves. They are not content otherwise. If it was not for these peeps we would still be in the stone age. It is human nature. What you don't see in the video is the preparation Andrey did for the jump. I doubt that Andrey will listen to advice telling him to slow down. That is something one must learn on their own. Time permitting.
Take care,

I think what Space said is right, he is not going to listen, he has his own agenda and, not to be a dick, but why would he listen to a skydiver who really has no basis for opinion on this subject...

Im just glad he seems to have listened to advice not to set himself in such deep breaks! I remember a low pull in the valley that went stall, recover, stall, land. Craziest looking canopy on opening ive ever seen.

oh, common, Neil, it wasn't that low but the old canopy that just eat the altitude :)

And to others - I know him for seven years, better than anyone else I guess... Believe me, he IS thinking really careful about the stuff he's about to do. And he IS listening to people he really respects. Karr and all the young hardcore flyers I know realize that it is the time factor that prove it, so they are really serious about learning their own limits. None of them want to be a accidental hero for a day or two - the only thing they want to is to do what they love to do and to satisfy themselves flying their best.

Thanks for sharing, Great Vid. I'm a bit of an old fart and still do things in an Old Skool way so I find it quite humbling to see how this generation of Jumpers are evolving.

Very nice!!!

Great pilot.

Keep training man

Well done! a nice known line, that was riding with Experience...
look at his position when he is passing the road and the flip that followed

Play Safe, Enjoy

The greatest tandem for me-Lika and Karr!!
