brels part 1


i did the first half of my b-rels at a learning curve camp week at ramblers dz in sept 2004.

brel2 is about offsets and 360s. this was a heaps fun jump cause it all went very well. at the time i was a bit worried about my track, it had always been a bit wobbly, but it seemed alright.

brel3 is about getting to a position and flying there without grips. this jump was awesome too. come to think of it, they all are, even the ones that don't turn out so well. if you watch the video the 360 on exit was, of course, intentional *cough*. also we were the last out so notice the plane as we leave, dive dive dive!

now things get a bit harder for me! i'm not so good with my legs and this the first jump to introduce leg turns. it wasn't as good as the last two but was still good enough. practice makes perfect!

brel5 had a twist, my instructor was in a different plane to me! cool. another jump about turning with legs which meant i spent too much thinking about them and wasn't relaxed enough. had them too straight and ended up buffeting :( wayne kept giving me the "two bent fingers" signal meaning "bend you legs" but i didn't pay enough attention.
