How to break a heel
Totally fucking unnecessary experience.mrcc - 2014/05/23 20:44:38 UTC
NOT A NICE EXPERIENCE
Worse than what it would've been before the stunt landing.What was the outcome when you had your heel X-ray?
Fuck the flare. It's NEVER just right when it's unnecessary. And it's NEVER necessary.AndRand - 2014/05/23 20:57:25 UTC

What I found out is that there is a part of approach not so frequently pointed out - ballooning. When it is controlled and just right then the flare is just right.
He was too busy trying to prepare for his stunt landing to worry about any of that other stuff.Also, preceding going into ground effect should be just right.
Of course setting final should be just right.
And turn on final...
...or corrected.

50 pieces
While looking at the CT scan my doctor said "It looks like your calcaneus is in fifty pieces". He said he doesn't think it will require any surgery because he doesn't see any displacement. But because he specializes in knees and spines he is going to ask his associate, who is a foot specialist, to look at the CT scan. So I am waiting for another call.
Crash.About my landing.
No...When coming in I was fine till I missed the DT three times.
...shit. (You actually only missed it two times. If you'd missed it three times you'd have probably broken BOTH heels into fifty pieces.)John Simon - 2009/01
I decided to go upright. This is where things started going really bad really fast.
Maybe if you learn to spell it right consistently you'll have better luck.By then I was in panic mode (heart pumping, adrenalin boost) and wasn't FEELING the gliders feedback for when to flair.
Best not to get into those situations.

Did you NEED to go for the downtube?I usually go for the DT just as I turn onto base. But tree avoidance came first, then missing DT then panic.
I don't. Otherwise there's just no hope whatsoever for the gene pool.Jim Steel - 2014/05/24 00:59:22 UTC
Ouch. I hate when that happens.
Like Bob Grant...Get better soon. When you fly again maybe you might practice landing approach/configuration while soaring?
