I have a question unrelated to the present ASD/production board
squabble.
When I'm entering my jump - I find myself in a kind of "choose the best
of two evils" situation. Basically - my problem is to either stay in my
harness lines or get out. When I stay in, I get plenty of air to put a
big smile on my face, but find myself less controlled in the air on big
ones, and when I land, more dangerous, since I'm more apt to get
slammed, therefore, more likely to put a dent in my forehead. If I get
out before the jump, I'm far more controlled and it's easier to land,
but I seem to lose some power going in making me not get as high, thus,
it's just not the same.
So, do I just suck at getting out of my harness, or do I need to time
getting out of them better? Or should I try getting out of them when I
sheet in and am already in the air? Not going as high as possible is
not an option, but I'd like to try a tabletop sometime, and that seems
pretty clear cut that I need to get out of the harness at some point.
