Vibing After Work - Flocking with Friends and a Near Miss - August 2025 Week 1

Highlights from a few of my favorite jumps from the first week of August 2025. I have been testing out my new Flysight 2 and playing around with some software from ‪@TelemetryOverlay‬ so that I can visualize the data in an appealing way rather than just looking at graphs. As to the near miss, this was definitely a perfect storm that could have resulted in a serious injury if I hadn't reacted quickly. I spent a lot of the flocking jump pulling on my rear risers in cold air, and my hands became fatigued, reducing my grip strength. The air in general had started cooling down, possibly resulting in an area of sink where I did my turn for my swoop (I wasn't the only jumper who got more dive than was expected). This, combined with getting a lot more dive from the snap than this wing has previously given me, resulted in me being lower than I like (I'm a beer line swooper, not a comp swooper), though still definitely in the window where I could use rears rather than going straight to toggles. During the recovery, my right hand slipped off the riser (fatigue), which caused my hand to drop and give a hard right input on the toggle that I didn't intend. Thankfully, training kicked in and I quickly equalized with the left toggle to stop the turn, albeit with an initial overcorrection to the left while trying to avoid a runway incursion and a collision with my friend that I didn't get punished for due to still having plenty of airspeed for the maneuver. All in all, I learned more from the near miss than I would have from a normal swoop, and I didn't hurt anything besides my pride (this was my pre-second time nearly getting vibe-checked by a planet during a swoop).
