I took the Axis B License Canopy training with Nik Daniel at Skydive Arizona as soon as I earned my A license so that I wouldn't develop any bad habits. It was the best decision I made. I learned ssoooo much in that class that I am definitely a safer skydiver.

Agreed!

Took Flight 101/102 at Skydive City, Fl. Great courses with great coaches! I should take 201 whenever I get a break. Love these videos. R

I just did my B license canopy course last week. I learned so much and have become so much more comfortable under my canopy. My landing still sucks, but that's cause I have no depth perception but I'm working on that. I do plan on taking many more canopy courses. So much more to learn.

Finally doing a canopy course with Josh Colby at Skydive Chicago. Like the vid. Please keep making great videos. You truly are an asset to our sport.

Great video! It would be super useful to also explain when to use (and main differences between) toggles, front, and back risers.

Great video as always (the only thing I found is where you talk about toggle stalls you actually show a rear riser stall being executed). Canopy courses help a lot - having a coach looking and evaluating what you are doing not only makes it safer, but also helps avoid learning incorrect techniques which could be more difficult to fix after they are in your muscle memory.

So long ago... I was USPA qualified once upon a time. Now I barely remember anything at all. :) I'm trying to get it started up again and this video was really nice!

How I envy modern day skydivers - back in 1986 when I did my first jumps we were jumping with round canopies that had a tiny forward speed and a sink rate that meant if you fluffed your plf you could get hurt badly.

Nope. No canopy course because I am still in AFF A and have not finished for my license. It is on my bucket list.

My instructors strongly recommend to do all this exercises in a hop-n-pop jumps.

I don't see why. You have less altitude to play with. Doing a high pull give you much more time to practice at just a fraction of a price a ticket increase.

It is strongly recommended to do those exercises on hop-n-pops so you don't get distracted by a potential free-fall-programme/-experience. It is always better & safer to focus on the things ahead. But if you can do a high pull (define "a high pull", over here it is about 7500ft without special clearance) it'll really give you more time to play around.

I had my first unintended stall yesterday, at 1,500 ft. I pulled the toggle too quickly. Lucky I had seen your video on stalling, so I knew what was going on.

Canopy course for B license today. Lots of fun and learned a ton.

Awesome! I guess it helped you a lot!

Rear riser stalls are easier to induce and control than toggle stalls. You can actually steer your canopy with risers in a stall. Also releasing the stall too fast will result in the canopy shooting forward rather fast. It is the uneven release that puts you in line twists.

Deep brakes before grabbing your fronts will help you pull them when the canopy recovers from brakes. Plus I'd suggest to use loops instead of grabbing the risers on front... I think most of the rigs these days has them

Nice video 🤘🏼 💙 Is it possible to talk about swooping in detail and what it is and how it is evaluated, and places where this can be trained. 🙏🏼🙏🏼💙

hi there...would you have any resource that demonstrates (or theory / physics of) why toggle spiral gives line-twist (why potentially facing horizon) when let go quickly? i imagine that;s a high speed malfunction on non-student canopies? thanks

Very good

Did some spirals today. But my big 209 sqft takes a while to reduce height :D. I think I just need more experience and / or a smaller canopy. But I am taking it easy, still need 3 more jumps for my A licence. Blue skies

Already getting through a friend ,,, thxxxx for the reply

By pulling on the risers, front or rear, you change the angle of attack your canopy is rigged to. Pulling front risers gives you a down attitude and that means changing height into speed (!) while the rears are giving you more lift to change speed to lower sink rate. It's fun using the brakes first and pull the front risers. You will fly down like hell. No toggle input then... make a briefing with a well expered diver you trust prior to ANY NEW MANOUVER!!! NEVER RELY ON INPUT FROM VIDS LIKE THAT! They shall inspire you to think about new things and may give you ideas what skill to aquire but they can never be instructional. Many incidents are based on hot guns in a "just give it a try" attitude. NEVER try this in a height where you cannot cut off and shoot the reserve! Meaning at the end of the manouver when you probably have to. So your trouble has to happen above decission height! Go fly and have fun. Play safe. ALways happy landings. Blue sky. And go get an advisor you really trust. These are not the most crazy dudes at the DZ. 🤙

Hey my friend ... I just completed Lv1 for my AFF and everything went well , no injuries . If you remember I'm a paraplegic .Going back next week to do Lv.2 & Lv 3 & if things go well enough , perhaps I'll finish before our weather gets bad . Thanx for all your help an advice videos .

For landing you should do two phase movement on toggles. First is a flair (to start horizontal flight) and second is brake. One motion from top to the bottom is not the correct technique.
