I'll start this by asking if anyone knows what a PFL is? And why it's important for scuddlers to know?

First I need to figure out what a scuddler is :?:

I think he means scudder as in sliding across the sand. I have never heard of a scuddler?:puzzled:

then what's it called, "feet skiing"??

PFL??????

No im saying that a scudd is when you slide across the sand. I have never heard of a scuddler:puzzled:

so scudd + someone = scuddler....?

scudd+someone is a scudder

what's a PFL?

II think it is something like a parachute?????:puzzled:

if you jump at all, you should know what it is, or you might end up sittin out for a bit

I jump but i do not know what it is.:puzzled:

It's the anti-break your leg manuever.

Saved my leg, its amazing what you remember you can do when your about to hurt yourself. (I learned a few years ago and just popped into my head after a nice 20 foot loft w/ my 8 meter. Still sprained my ankle though.

LEARN IT!!!!

THAT DUDE CAN BUST IT LIKE A MOFO!!!!!!! If I could have danced like that in high school all the ladies would've been in trouble!

Actually I have had to use that after a low level reserve chute deployment while paragliding. lost 1000 ft. of altitude in a couple of seconds and the reserve opened just before I hit the deck but I still walked away because of the pfl training. It didn't stop the deep tissue bruise I had from my heel to my scapula that lasted for 6 months.

No one ever taught me how to do this but I've used it twice since Christmas. Both times, I rolled like that and got back around in time to not let the kite touch the ground. The first time I was in shorts and barely scuffed my knee. I imagine you could take quite a fall if you really did it right.

So do they have one for Obe's? When I got yanked out my leg got bend out from hitting the down tube on top of slamming into the ground didn't have much time to think.

Cant download attachment!!

somebody has his head up his fourth point of contact... :frog:

Sorry I had to it's straight from wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_Landing_Fall

my hillbilly az padz prevent fourth point insertions...PFL 'power kite five point landing'

beware of 4th point landings...

When I skydived it was a Parachute Landing Fall PLF and I'm sticking to my story.

But we aren't flying parchutes, we are flying power kites. So sholdn't it be 'Power kite landing fall' and renamed pklf. :flaming:

sure....just know how in case!

I've done it a few times, didn't look as cool as the guy on the video though:flaming::flaming::flaming:

dude, that guy in the video busts it....
