MyUserID 0 #1 January 18, 2002 Hey everybody,I'm starting to get sick of just diving out of the otter. Just wandering if anybody has any suggestions for fun ways to exit solo, keeping in mind i'm still jumping student gear and have only 16 jumps. I figure this will add to my ability to restabilize.

freeflir29 0 #2 January 18, 2002 Let's see...Tandem style...Go out and just start doing front flips till you get dizzy. Go out with your back to the wind and let it put you Head down....Leap out with your eyes closed and see if you can stay stable....Climb back to the camera step and see what that's like....Naked.......That's all I can think of at the moment"I got some beers....Let's Drink em!!!"Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 January 18, 2002 Toss your rig out and chase it down. We've all done it at some point in time. To become a serious skydiver you have to do it.I'm kidding. Diving exits are always fun. So is the flip type exit that Clay was talking about. Also, try exiting like you're a floater in a formation to get good at stable exits.Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.-General George Patton- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #4 January 18, 2002 You could try throwing your girlfriend's cat out and then trying to catch it before you pull. They always land on their feet anyway Support the cause - do a skydive(r) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites freeflir29 0 #5 January 18, 2002 "You could try throwing your girlfriend's cat out"I met a guy that got kicked out of the Air Force for tossing out a chicken (with home made parachute) @ 12K from a C-141. The chicken landed just fine but apparently there were some Officers that didn't find the whole thing very amusing.

Try front flips or back flips out the door. Try 10 in a row! Or do layouts with a straight body. Try crouching and rolling out backward. Jump out in a sit - or try to! Lots of possibilities!Have fun and don't get too bored of this mundane skydiving thing!dove Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites quade 4 #11 January 18, 2002 Shamelessly stolen from Team Pull My Finger . . ."The Spinning Burrito"Stand toward the back of the door facing forward. Lean forward and place your left hand at the forward and top part of the door. Swing your right hand and foot simultaniously and let their momentum carry you spinning out the door. Pull your arms in toward your chest, pull your legs together and let the conservation of angular momentum spin you faster.It's fun. It's lame.
