livendive 8 #7 December 2, 2008 Holy cow, I thought it was funny when a guy with two jumps was telling me how dangerous I am and how I should and shouldn't do AFF, but this takes it to a whole new level! I rarely venture into the topical forums, and when I do, it's usually just for a different flavor of entertainment. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

AggieDave 6 #10 December 2, 2008 That's fucking awesome! It seems like this sort of crap has been happening even more and more over the last couple of years.

BIGUN 1,485 #12 December 2, 2008 Well, I disagree with Kirk also.. it's obvious from the last couple of boogies I've been to that one should dive from 30 feet above the formation and snatch my grip with the almighty intensity as if their life depended on it and my shoulder did not. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eeneR 3 #15 December 2, 2008 I think part of the problem is the fake numbers people use coupled with he probably has no idea who Kirk is Figured the 23000 was fake She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, plus how often do we tell novice skydivers to not reach? To "reach up" sounds even crazier to them. There are so many things that we try to drill into the heads of students, and then later contradict them, no wonder it is difficult to learn to skydive.

Ah yes... the infamous SCR TopDock technique. Float gently down to 4ft above the formation, turn sideways, reach down, and backpack at least two others. It was always good on the re-build 400ft lower too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are so many things that we try to drill into the heads of students, and then later contradict them, no wonder it is difficult to learn to skydive. I agree with you. A pretty common problem for a novice skydiver is getting a little over amped and reaching for grips and either trashing the formation or ending up too low or too high. I know I've done it and I've seen plenty of "experienced" skydivers who should know better doing the exact same thing.

Yes, but the responses to Kirk's post show there are other ways to challenge another poster. Given a choice of taking Tara's approach (I've never heard that before can you explain more) or Don's (No no no you're wrong!!!!!!) I'll take Tara's any day!
