Welcome to the August / September 2010 edition of my newsletter!

XRW Project

This was the second phase of Extreme RW: further exploring the possibilities of how skydiving’s two fastest growing disciplines can interact in the air. Multiple wingsuit flyers in freefall and multiple high-performance canopy pilots came together for every type of interaction made possible by gravity and the skill of the athletes.

PD Factory Team pilots, Jonathan Tagle and Jessica Edgeington, along with Tonysuit Wingsuit pilot Jeff Nebelkopf and Taya Weiss worked on mixed formation flights and other never-before-seen configurations.

During the week of September 13th – 17th, XRW at Skydive Elsinore highlighted the non-profit charity Raise the Sky, an organization that connects skydiving events to charitable causes and promotes press coverage and national sponsor exposure for stories that portray skydivers as superheroes.

Practice jumps at the dropzone were followed by exclusive footage shot in the scenic Elsinore Valley, home to Southern California's largest natural lake and the beautiful Ortega Mountains. ... morE

Tracking - Theory and Application on page 44 of the latest Parachutist (September 2010).

Tracking is a critical survival skill that many jumpers neglect. In this article, the authors explore the body mechanics that help improve the tracking skills of highly experienced and novice skydivers alike.

Water Training
 

On the 18th, Axis headed to the local Casino near Skydive Elsinore to conduct a water training course.

Water training is a major part of the curriculum in order to receive a B-license- which allows the holder to participate in night jumps or jump out of a helicopter.

This course is designed to make jumpers aware of the unique dangers that a water landing (intentional or unintentional) may present.

In addition to learning new material, the students get to experience first hand what it is like to be submerged in water with real skydiving equipment.
