L and R exits, We got 10 in on Saturday and weather took Sunday away from us.
B slotting the 3s, catching some more docks, and working on the horizontal to vertical transitions!!
Same side Belly to HD transitions, Catching Docks, B slotting the new 6. Yes!!!
Continuing catching docks and starting to B slot the new 6.
With Cloud games behind us we start working on the next steps that we think we need including catching docks in the transition!
We put up 91 points!!! Average score of 9.1, our highest yet!!!
We are lucky to have two Dropzones for sponsors! We chased weather from one to the other and back again this weekend. Tried a new full flip transition and it went well.
At Grand Haven for the weekend. Still knocking the rust off. Trying some new transitions... some good, some....
Back to the Tunnel... Still trying to figure out the N's! We get desperate and need some saving! The 14s are so tight we are touching on the inters on almost every one near the end of the rotations.
Back in the Air!!! and it was humbling! We went to Skydive Midwest for a pre season training weekend and tried all the new blocks we have not tried in the air before. Some good, some not so good.
Did not get good video off the gopro. Had to use the tunnel footage.
N's are still inconsistent... D's are reliable! Working towards doing speed changes together.
14s are going well! Fast and close with some contact on the inters. Ns are still inconsistent and will continue to be worked on.
We are referencing the tunnel position less and flying to each other more. This has increased the slop in the flying that we neto worked out.
Full Vertical random draw as a check in. We averaged 10.75 points... not bad progress!
Flying the 14s the new way, flying faster! The Rock the Cradle got CLOSE on a couple of rounds.
Another shot at stomping the bug, still needs work. Docking up to the HD flips getting faster. N's were not smooth.
Docking up to the HD flips! Exciting and getting faster. Flying the A's with the HU flyer docking.
Added the same side docked transition to head down to our training! Also tried stomp the bug for the first time in the tunnel, more work to be done there.
Some ups, some downs. Flying to the Fs were inconsistent. Trying a linked dock for transition to head down that went well. Figuring out some belly transitions.
A whole lot more spice! 13s, cradle, and 3s are more spicy. 13s were quicker but more unpredictable. Ds are more smooth and consistent.
Turns are getting faster! 14s got a little spicy but quicker.
Some of our fastest rounds yet! Getting better at the levels on the new 11 and faster turns on the 2. Continuing to move the docks on the H to Tim.
Continuing on the new 11s and working on levels.
Working the 14s and 13s into regular dive flows. Also switching the H's to Tim docking.
Speeding up the 3s... Also tried out some new foot docks to the thighs.
Started off with some shaky 13s but improved quickly... We also tried our first 14s with the HU flyer docking.
2 Sessions today including some 13s that we now do at the same time! Good progress today, things are getting smoother and quicker.
Random dive pool today! a little bit of everything.
Starts off with some wild 3s. We try our first 13s together... taking turns to try not to kill each other. Try out some new proposed 6s!!! Good times!
Drill, drill, drill!!! Part 2
Full on Drill mode for skill building for the winter.
Switching slots on the 3 and focusing on drills to strengthen our weakest points.
Hitting the tunnel again now that it is up to 100%. Trying new items that we will need for open class. 14s, Stairsteps, and new proposed belly blocks.
Our performance in the 2023 US Nationals!!!
Trying some alternative exits and big transition moves.
Random draw for Saturday and working from the Kingair.
Working on speeding up the docks. The weekend started a little rough but got faster as we went!
Our first training weekend since Cloud Games. We were weathered for half the weekend but still got some good ones in. We are trying to push speed and the flying is definitely taking a hit.
Our First MFS Competition!! We did better than we expected and had a blast!
Some things are looking smoother! Back flying with a rig is HARD!!!
Tired from the last 2 days we only got 5 Jumps in.
Big training weekend with 18 Jumps on Saturday and Sunday and another training day scheduled for Monday!
Not our best flying. The King Air made the "E" exit quite a bit harder!
Working out the "E" exit, flying tighter.
Tunnel is limited to 80% so we worked on different belly/back skills and "B" slots.
With the tunnel limited to 80% we are working on layouts for block 12.
Training weekend at MWFF. We try a few new exits. N's go well and Nader has a breakthrough on keeping close head up!
Training weekend at Airohio. This was Sheehan's first camera jumps with at MFS team. He had to learn not to come through the formation after the first jump...lol
Tim works on layouts and Ryan learns to front flip to head down. So pumped for this one.
Tightening up the eagles, also got in some good N's.
Quickening up turns and docked transitions.
The N's are a little dicey, at 5:00 Ryan kicks strong off the wall in order not to bail into a tight area and Bader LOVES it!!! lol
N's are still spicy. Tightening up the eagles
Docked transitions are our new default for inters.
First time sending the Eagles in our home tunnel!
First day back in our home tunnel after the AZ trip. We do our new drill dive "rotating rounds" and flipping into the Totem!
School of hard knocks in AZ taught me quick how to transition while docked.
These are the coaching sessions that changed the way we approached training! Jason Peters is an awesome flyer and even better coach! More in the blog about this changing point in our development!
