    Yeah, it was close though. After 4 rounds I still had a big fat zero but I managed to get a scoring run in the last round which bumped me up from 30th to 16th... I'm proud to say that I've now had my ass kicked by Missy Nelson and Kaz Sheeky in swoop competitions Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

    The motel 6 right next to the tunnel has a rate of about $30 per night if you mention to them that you want the Skyventure rate. Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

    If you are leaning forward while presenting your arm in front of you then chances are that you are backsliding a lot. When presenting your arm in front of you you want to keep your torso straight and just bring your arm in toward the center of your body with your hand out in front of you so that it is mostly in your burble. Lean back slightly and move your other arm behind you to catch air and keep you from turning. To be able to present your arm in front of you and remain falling in the same space at the same fall rate and keeping the same heading is not the easiest thing to do. It's also best to have someone else out there so you can see how you are moving in relation to someone else. Wind Tunnel and Skydiving Coach http://www.ariperelman.com

    Yes but if you show them that you can do all that in the first 2 minutes you are in there then they'll let you sit. Basically they just want to make sure that you'll be safe. If you get unstable in the sit you can recover to either your back or your belly so they want to make sure that you can fly in those two orientations.

    I did about 60 winter/snow jumps last year and they're definitely fun, but I've since moved to Florida. I won't be upset if I don't do any snow jumps this year. It's cool seeing people swooping and seeing all the powder get kicked up.
