mattyblast 0 #1 March 10, 2006 In between jumps at Skydive Arizona I was able to put in 10 minutes of tunnel time while I was there. Wow, what a humbling experience! Talk about a major reality check. I am not (yet) good at skydiving...period! When I was able to stabilize myself and do some turns, and some work with levels (up/down), I did okay, but otherwise it was extremely difficult. I felt like a ping-pong ball during the Powerball lottery drawing! Watching the tape was an even bigger reality check. "Is that what I look like?? Ugh!" Lots of potato-chipping, and I think a huge overhaul on my arch is needed. I look forward VERY much to showing the tape to my coaches, jumpmasters & other mentors at my home DZ. Hopefully I'll be able to put into practice the suggestions they have for me and improve my technique. In the meantime, come on, Chicago! Let's get one of these built up in our area!!"DOOR!!!"

I'll second that...Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
