Air to Air - Shot of the Army skydiver free falling, moving his arms as he spins his body "slowly" around. CUS - Bringing in his legs in a bit and moving both arms forward as he does a summersault (somersault) while free falling, He spins one way and does a reverse spin. CUS - Moving his arms and legs into another position. He manages to do a backwards summer sault. Low Angle Shot - The skydiver slowly descends with his new 'Flexwing' opened. It's a very standard type of chute used by today's jumpers. His landing is on-spot perfect.
