jonnyp 0 #1 October 20, 2013 Hey all! I'm progressing in Byron on my AFF (D2 is up next). Byron is amazing! I'm still getting fear noogies on the ride up.

But the sport is amazing and the friends you make are for life... added: I love that comic series. Its pretty much my constant state that I get fear noogies until I'm out the door. Watching my old videos, once I'm out I'm all smiles and business... its the letting go I thinkYou are not the contents of your wallet.

Now I love sitting by the door...can't get enough of it in fact. When you need to arch just imagine fucking the wind. That's pretty much what you're trying to do.

Watching my old videos, once I'm out I'm all smiles and business... its the letting go I think My last two jumps were teacher jumps. My C1 was my first twist. Very much like the comic one. A couple turns and it was out. Happy to have one under the belt now My D1 jump was great until I locked on at 6000. Right at that moment I started to spin. Seeing that I was probably near 5500, I signaled my intent to pull, and then... ... went upside down and missed my pull. There's great video of this . Instead of doing the roll-out-of-bed technique (something to practice on!) I reached again, pulled out my pilot and for whatever crazy reason, held it for a split-second. I think what was going on in my head was, wait, I don't want to be upside down. In that moment, probably because I had this pilot chute on one side, my body corrected. As soon as it corrected I tossed the pilot. I think I escaped a bad situation (holding on to the pilot) by dumb luck. But just as you said, the sport or activity is truly amazing.
