Fuck me sideways!...I CAN ARCH! :)

[RALFFERS 0]

Well, it's been less then a month since I got back from the tunnel; because I had such a hard time arching my back while there that I though it was gonna take a really long time till I even began to see an improvement. But to my pleasant surprise I'm already starting to feel a difference! I've been cencentrating my workouts on my stomach muscles instead of my legs, and it's working!!

Grantewd, I still have a long way to go, but am so uplifted by seeing these small improvements
I'm going back to the tunnel in May to fly an hour, and something tells me it's gonna' go a LOT better...

Just an update.

Looks like skydiving is really not out of my reach (not that I ever thought it was.)

I had some of the best instructors around when I did AFF. One told me about the arch on Level 1. "Pretend your sticking your dick in as far as you can in that peice of ass" Worked very well. LOL[;)

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Hey great update Ralf. Keep up the good work.

Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

Hmm, your title doesnt make sense.

If you can arch you'd be falling str8 down so asking someone to fuck you sideways would be difficult.

Oh yea, congrats.

Mine told me to pretend I was playing keep-away in the showers from Bubba and his overzealous dong. That worked pretty well too.

That it so sexist. Bitches hate that.
However the Bubba example could work for either sex

That's why my instructor was a fucking genius. He taught lessons that everyone could relate to. And I don't know a single student under his leadership who failed to properly arch after a few jumps. And no one ever forgot their "anti-splatter gauge."

I so completely mis-understood the the title of this thread...

Mind out of the gutter, Matthew.

Well, as the time passes, arching only gets easier - I'm only seeing improvement and nothing else
You guys can't imagine how relieved, excited, and just straight out, happy I'm starting to feel!!

The only "odd" thing, if you will is my arms & shoulders seem to building definition faster than anything else, despite the fact that I workout all parts of my body equally Ah well... The important thing is I'm getting there.

The other really cool thing is my legs are in better shape in asmuchas they're straighter & stronger. I keep this up I may just have to walk with a cane instead of 2 crutches; or better yet - I may walk without anything at all
I can't wait to get back in the tunnel! Why does May have to be so far away?...

Ya'll mind if I rehash this thread every once in a while to say how I'm doing?

I like hearing what other newbies like me are doing. I have jump #5 coming up tomorrow and for a change, the weather looks like it is going to be nice, cold (20's), but blue skies and light winds. Yippee

Brrrr... Just don't do a naked jump and you should be fine

Have a great time tomorrow, congrats on your progression. I wish you endless safe & fun jumps!!

Haha, I think I'm as "newbie" as newbie gets It's gonna be, tandem, tunnel, tandem tunnel, repeat for a while... But my friend, Jeremy is an awesome TM to jump with! I'm really happy with how things are progressing, and content where I am. I have all my life to skydive; I rather be patient and wait it out rather than jump when I'm not ready and end up killing myself

No problem there, even if it wasn't so damn cold. I'm not too old lfor skydiving, but I'm past the age for doing w/o clothes
I'm glad you can get to a tunnel and do some tandems. There really aren't many options where I am. I am beginning to get a little more patient myself. I'm not in as much of a hurry any more to get to my license as long as I can be jumping regularly and making progress.

If you ask, it means that you owe. There's a parachute club in central Norway where they're so strict about the beer rules, that people stop saying "first", they say "the time before second".



I hope you have a lot of fun in the tunnel. Tunnel is great, you don't have to mess around with that stupid parachute.

Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?
