Brrrrrrrrr...... (very cold weather)
... but a clear blue sky. Too good to resist (I didn't even try :-). Temperature is around 0°, not counting the cold, northern wind. Temperature at 13.000 ft is something like -20°. In conditions like this, I always prefer diving, rather than floating.
Four jumps today, all belly-to-earth, jumping with everybody who wants to join. Only rule is as soon as we are 8 or more, we split the group. So two jumps are 5-ways, the other two 7-ways. At the end of the day, I have earned 8 free beers: 1 per brainlock (and that's only counting the very obvious ones, not the glitches). Over the years, I learned to cover up my own locks :-)
This is one of the 7-ways we did, a real nice one. No need to think, just swing it around! (this jump made us three beers). For exit, we launched the center spider as a linked 5-way, plus a front floater and a back diver.
Split off the 3-ways and turn them 180°, the outfacing jumper has the nice job! The center also does a 180°.
Next is a very short move to an open accordeon, center does a 180° again.
Direction of the turn is to give the jumpers who must pick up the grip the best visual. And for the center, how about another 180°?
The two switchers cancel each other out, so we can go back to 1.
The faster you can go, the nicer the jump!
