hackish 8 #1 September 3, 2007 Just wanted to post up a thanks for all those who posted and sent me PM's on tricks to improve my arch. For my checkout dive I had to purposely leave the plane unstable and regain stability - was the most fun jump yet as I wasn't stressed about trying to get a good exit from the aircraft. All the suggestions posted and PM'd to me the best one went like this... pretend you have a $100 bill in your butt cheeks and can't let it go - that will help the arch. My instructor liked it so much he now uses it with the new students. I guess the next step now that I'm self-supervised is to start attacking the tasks required to pass the "A" license. That is my goal before the DZ shuts down in October. -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The checkout jump was the most fun of all the jumps before it. I had to "ride the slide" for the exit and become unstable so I could prove that I could become stable. It's like "wait you want me to screw up the exit". So now it seems that the CSPA classic progression leaves me fairly close to the "A" license and I'll just start practising those requirements... -Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
