[@brianrichardson580]

Hi Catherine! I'm a B Cop with 227 jumps. Just experienced my 1st cut away July 3rd. Canadian skydiving is a short season, and working on a C Cop. Hope to be in the sky July 6th for a canopy course. Jumped with Brian Germain 10 years ago, great guy. Keep up the good work!

[@MisterK-YT]

Was it scary? (The cut away)

[@revodrvr]

I just took his canopy course. Brian is amazing

[@SkydiveVibes]

Indeed!

[@shrebus]

Cant wait!

[@jdedgeington]

You should see if you can interview more canopy pilots as well! Curt Bartholomew would be another interesting one

[@skydivebroncos2320]

Love the channel! Very informative and well put together.

[@andrewwhite8833]

So many questions that I have searched his channel for answered in one video.

[@SkydiveVibes]

Super thanks Mercy!

[@jazzochannel]

I have read The canopy + pilot book and done the canopy-piloting course with Brian :)

[@Brian-Germain]

Correction, The Parachute and its Pilot is the title. Might want to re-read it! LOL :-)

[@helpdeskjnp]

Flying and landing came really natural and easy to me, I think because I grew up flying stunt kites which seemed very similar to controlling my canopy.

[@skydiverc1656]

Great content & advice. It hadn't occurred to me to use Google maps to improve accuracy 👍. Thanks Katherine & Brian. Blue Skies 🪂 ✈️

[@SkydiveVibes]

Way to go! Thanks for watching!!

[@brooksbanks2571]

Hey! Brian did the canopy course at TSC recently. I was still working on my A license. Hoping to see one soon.

[@SkydiveVibes]

Who should we have next on the channel? Let me know in the comments!

[@justingould2020]

Just get Brian on again and again. He's worth his weight in gold.

[@markmcgoveran6811]

Engineering alert when you land with a great big long lever arm called a wing attached of strings and hanging on your weight with your foot the lever arm inside that joint is very tiny if you can hit with both feet at the same time you take the rotation out on those displaced ankle joints that have a longer lever arm so it's less damaging birds land with both feet at once usually.

[@zatorce]

It’s 3:30 pm here

[@SkydiveVibes]

In 40 minutes my friend!

[@dwightbernheimer331]

A word to the Wise if you're an expert skydiver and you're an expert Swooper don't let somebody talk you into flying a 6m Speed Wing (paraglider) you will be surprised at the difference LOL... Great video thanks for posting...

[@Fabiocarr]

Watching your videos make me think that a big lack in the skydiving knowledge is the exit order between different groups and disciplines. Do you think you can maybe make a video about it? :) Blue skies!

[@thoth121]

I'm sure she has

[@davidlightskin7374]

... homesick bowling ball 😂😂😂

[@Silverwidows]

On my tandum jump the instructor taught me that i needed to bend and hold my legs. He pulled the shoot and said "by the way, the winds changed, were landing on our feet"..uhh ok then lol

[@tuttt99]

Great video, but I will NEVER swoop. LOL.

[@akselilammi]

I just wish my dz will open soon🥺

[@SkydiveVibes]

I know, me too... Soon, very soon!

[@mr.invisible3770]

Last time I went skydiving I broke my leg on landing due to used, improper fitting fitting rental equipment (The leg strap slipped on a very hard pull and snapped my leg backwards, causing so much pain I couldn't use it). The drop zone near me does not have any better selections. Im at 64 jumps. I swore I would never use rented gear again. Saving for my own new full rig and having a hard time justifying buying a 210. last jump was on 210. Any advice from anyone on buying a 190? Good idea or bad idea?

[@MisterK-YT]

I have no advice for you, but I triple-fractured and totally dislocated my right ankle on my 3rd jump (and hopped onto my feet right after “landing” to gather the canopy real quick cuz there was some wind, not knowing I had broken it, and instantly felt that it was fkd and went down to my ass when I tried to stand on it). Could see the bone dislocated above my shoe. Mannnnn it sucked for damn near a year. I can only imagine how much worse yours was 😱. Take care mate.

[@ivpR1220]

Did he said thers a video called “surviving to swooping”??

[@SkydiveVibes]

Yes, go check out on his website haha

[@Brian-Germain]

Yup, Surviving Swooping. www.adventurewisdom.com/store/Training-Videos-c7094902

[@israeljferrerserrano372]

in the minute 11:12 he ( kzbin.info ) shows a drawing that i found very interesting, he talks about glide ratio and having a rough estimate between my glide ratio and the wind against me (when facing the wind) can he elaborate on that, or even make a video so that i can do it by my own(like for example what could be my glide ratio on my sabre 2 150 etc etc)

[@kylekatchka4996]

Great video Catherine! Thank you for doing this... Brian is such a knowledgeable person! My IG is @ksquared_actual

[@cogcog91]

Skydiving -the sober persons heroin

[@MrJkd2013]

yep

[@jackfrost3573]

I was on a DZ in the 90's and swooping was gaining popularity. Then a guy comes "swooping in" misjudged a few variables and hit hard...affectively ripping his ass cheek off....skydiving is shits and giggles enough without swooping. But go ahead...I just don't watch.
