tdog 0 #2 September 26, 2005 Congrats... My favorite exit is... Stand in the doorway and grab your ankles. Throw yourself out in a front-flip spin... If you hold it long enough you will see the plane many times as you keep flipping... Oh, but you probably should not do that on your hop-n-pop that you still have to do. Anyway, congrats on doing your 18th... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anewempire 0 #4 September 26, 2005 yeah, flip exits are fun. i started doing gainers out of the plane. just jump out and throw your body back and tuck into a ball and you will just keep rotating till you open up. so far my most is like 4 flips. it's nice not having to try to get stable right away too cause when you open up you're at terminal velocity so if you're on your back or something all you have to do is flip over. i can't wait for my A license either. i waited at the dropzone for like 5 hours yesterday but the clouds just didn't want to move out of the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
