(2/6/08) - Fastrax Blue completes first training camp out of the porter
Fastrax Blue completed their first training camp out of the Porter at Skydive Deland. The team completed approximately 40 jumps all out of the Pilatus porter. Training along side the Norwegian national team Arcteryx, Blue were able to get some tips on the porter exits from them and Pete allum who was also on the D occasionally. Blue went through the usual progression of launching exits out of the porter. Step one is to funnel every exit for 20 jumps. Step two is to start figuring out how to launch meekers and sidebodies. Step three is to move on to more challenging exits, formations that are not round and start funneling again. Although a lot of the exits did not come out as planned, the team had many perfect exits including Yuan's, meekers and sidebodies. They also feel like they have a better grasp of what is needed to make the exit come out as planned. The main goal of the training camp was to be able to launch an exit consistently. Blue took it a few steps more during the camp, by launching many different exits and making some fixes on some block work and some randoms. Blue has a short break and will them be heading back to Skydive Deland to for a week long camp out of the porter. The team will train alongside Knight Trax. |
