How to pack a Russian D-6 military parachute - s...
This is a clip taken from a packing video by a Russian sports club. It shows a part of the packing procedure that is quite foreign to North American jumpers: After flaking, the canopy is stuffed into the bag and closed like a stuff sack. I have a D-6 paratrooper parachute rig that I've jumped a few times, and wanted to show this odd part of the packing procedure that is the same as what I learned from an ex East Bloc paratrooper.

2009 Peter's Year End Video - Web Edition
My year end skydiving video, mainly from Skydive Toronto, with a little from the Parachute School of Toronto. The video contents are aimed at STI jumpers. It is long, a full 20 minutes. (There are some jumps that have appeared earlier on facebook, e.g. the glider jump.) This is slightly updated from what was shown at the STI Christmas party weekend.

20,000' jump at PST 30 Aug 2009
A 5 way RW dive that resulted in a whole zero points, from 20k! We had a few fall rate issues. Video shows a bit from on the ground and while climbing, plus the freefall. There was a cloud layer at 8000' and scattered to broken clouds at about 2000'.

OLD SCHOOL 2009 -- Jumping Para-Commanders etc
Jim "Beatnik" Wilson & I made a bunch of jumps recently using old round & triangular canopies -- Para-Commander, single & double keel Paradactyl, Thunderbow, and a complete Russian UT-15 rig. The canopies are mainly from his large collection and my small collection of historic parachute equipment. This is my helmet camera video of some of the openings, maneuvering, and landings, on and off the DZ's. On one jump I accidentally had the Paradactyl hooked up backwards, and landed it. On other jump...

4 stack CRW (Landing only edit)
Brian D., Jerod C., Bart K., and I did some CRW and then landed the 4 stack (technically a 4 plane) at Skydive Toronto, 5 July 2009. The zero wind landing was a bit tough on the guys at the bottom. Lucky for me I was on top.This shows the LANDING ONLY -- with a slow mo version & slow mo backwards.

4 stack CRW (Long version)
Brian D., Jerod C., Bart K., and I did some CRW and then landed the 4 stack (technically a 4 plane) at Skydive Toronto, 5 July 2009. The zero wind landing was a bit tough on the guys at the bottom. Lucky for me I was on top. (Flares could have been earlier.) This is the long version showing a couple of the (slow) rotations of the stack.Skydive Toronto regulars: turn the volume up -- some comments by the jumpers watching are fun.

Ex-Stiletto 37 intentional cutaway canopy
(Remember you can watch the smaller FLV or the full 52MB high quality WMV.) I cut a Stiletto 97 apart, removed 5 cells, sewed the other 4 back together, trimmed the trailing edge, and made some other mods, resulting in a 37 square foot canopy designed to be jettisoned before landing, using an extra harness system to hold this third parachute on one's belly. This was my first jump on it, and I was only in control for parts of it. The canopy is very sensitive to weight shift or riser movement. W...

CH 601 HDS tuft test - More detailed video
Another video of a Zenair Zodiac HDS's wing in flight with tufts on the wing, showing slow flight aerodynamics.This one is more detailed than the other video I posted. (This is the second of two without vortex generators. There's also video with vortex generators.) The video has cues on screen showing the indicated airspeed that the pilot is holding for each segment of the video. Edited to show takeoff, climb, three sets of gradual speed reductions to the edge of a stall, and the landing. Ther...
