Yeah he came down pretty good considering. The last few feet he didn't redirect enough so he hit the ground with a good amount of speed. He hit his head and was so for a day or two. I think I'll stick with depower and float down

Flyjump when are you getting home? I need to see that picture!

i'll be off work at about 3 central time. a guy was filming his jump and doing a terrible job, so my friend took a snap shot of the video and turned it into a photo.

Can't wait to see it. Its rare to catch those things on film in the spur of the moment.

I was getting some 8ft jumps on the 4.5 Ace yesterday at the beach and that was only in a constant 11 to 12mph breeze, that is the beach i will be hitting when its a 15mph, ive jumped on grass in a 15mph but its not safe on the lil ace, you have to work for your redirect and work for as much hangtime as you can and thats barely enough to stop injuries on the lil ace so on grass im always careful if the winds are considerable. But hey, on sand, the skys the limit lol as ive been discovering lately :D

good call jack for flying on sand--a whole lot safer

I learnt safetey from the pros cough cough.. you guys

for me it's high enough when i start to kick my legs and run in the air!

at first, it only took four or five feet of air to get the leg-kick panic reflex going, now it usually only kicks in when i completely screw up a redirect or i get one of those lifty clean gusts during a jump.

i rarely go for height these days (the cuter the peanut gallery, the more likely it is...) but usually control: one-foot toetip landings, getting air over water without getting wet, jumping off banks and over obstacles, going for drift both down and crosswind (the hardest for me right now), jumps without the run, stuff like that.
