How to pack a Competition Parachute

Foldin' big competition style parachutes is tricky. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! They are so big and t' rockets are so lightweight that they often don't fully open. This video shows t' method used by international competitor Kevin Johnson, who I greatly admire. Ya scallywag! Blimey! This comin' summer, arrr, Kevin will be t' team manager and coach for t' kid's team from t' USA at t' international rocketry championships in Poland. This was recorded last summer when I was at a launch in Michigan. T' rain started comin' down and we all headed under t' picnic pavilion until t' shower passed. Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Bein' rocketeers, we all started sharin' our ideas and rocketry experiences. If you're nay flyin' with a club, you're missin' out on these types o' exchanges o' information. If you're nay in a club, be sure t' check out t' NARRRRR or Tripoli websites t' find t' rocketry club closest t' you.
