I'm an experienced skydiver, this is the first time I hear about smokejumpers and I am absolutely amazed by what these people do. Here is a raw footage from a helmet mounted camera of a smokejumper. You can see his entire team jump, then see himself jump, experience the quietness under canopy and realize the technicality of maneuvering such a canopy with many pounds of equipment on you. Really incredible stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz_6cq7dfVc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz_6cq7dfVc

Oh fun. I'm a tandem instructor and I got my start in the SF bay area. Where do you jump?
