I did it last August - prime soaring in New Mexico. For the first jump, I
wore boots. After that I wore sneakers. The landings were much softer than
I'd experienced under a round canopy in the Air Force. It's the ability to
flare almost to a stand still that makes it so nice.

Do you fly the same sort of parachute as this guy? Click on 'more' to expand the description of the video.

PTSD ALERT: The linked video is from a helmet cam of someone who flairs improperly, hits the ground hard, and becomes a paraplegic. You might not want to watch this. There is no gore, but the visuals might disturb you if you jump.
