    I was in the tunnel for 1/2 hour 2 nights in a row. Was learning to sitfly in there. Was having to work very hard to fall slower than in the sky. Towards the end of the sessions i was feeling really weak in my arms. Turns out i totally fried the nerves in my shoulders and could hardly use my arms for 2 months. Im not a weak guy - think that it was just putting that much stress on them in a way theyd never felt before. Flown in there since and the problem hasnt recurred - guess its a muscle memory thing.

    Just over 300 jumps. All in the past 9 months. Fordy and craig briefed about 10 of us. Went up and I did my first jumps on a classic 2 with gus.

    I found that i was only going at about 125mph on the beginner board. Did a stand up deployment and had no problems.

    Skydiving definatly has the greater adrenaline rush - but when it comes to learning new body positions or techniques a wind tunnel is more productive. name - Adi age - 19 # of jumps - 330 how many minutes in the tunnel - 15 need more (and most importantly)opinion of which one is better - both amazing.

    Try staples

    Definatly get out with someone. Its gonna be hard to tell the difference between speeds when you are on your own. Also trying to de-arch can cause v.fast forward or backward movement if you dont get the position right (pitch of body). Ive had to chase a guy with 50 jumps around the sky in a track position cos he thought he was doing a good de-arch but actually had high and straight legs. Do some coached+videoed jumps as soon as you can. They will be much more productive. If all else fails do some no contact hybrids! Theyre great!

    What did you load the 135 an 120 at?

    Get the flat guys to take high grips for extra stability. Take cheststrap grips and come out flat then once youre all stable bring your knees up and push under. Start in a ball/sit then push it into a stand. Also if the flat guys are wearing goggles suggest they tighted them as they can expect to go at least 30mph faster. Have fun Adi

    Think i got 10/11 points on mine. There were 9000+ jumps on the dive though - only 26 of them being mine! I did all the work though! I heard a story about a girl who went up with 3 of the guys from DeLand majik and they turned 25+ points around her! Adi

    I think there were 6 or 7 people doing there 1st jumps. Thanks to everyone who helped organise the weekend and to Gus for filming my 1st 2 jumps on saturday. Did another 3 on sunday with dave. The 1st being through 4000ft of rain - which was nice So ... anyone wanna sell me a wingsuit? Cheers Adi

    I find blue canopies tend to fly better Seriously.. a spectre is a really good choice for a first canopy.

    Ok, if you make the flight from heathrow on the 6th dec returning on 14th jan. You also get to pay for the new cutter, repack and cut reserve cable. And find a DZ to do it! Are you at nethers tomorrow?

    Ive been going 10 months. 100th was cool, 8way hybrid that kicked ass. Had some pretty cool skysurf jumps. Every dive that works gives me a different buzz. If its a real chilled out track of a cranking RW jump. Low hop 'n' pops are cool too. Lookin forward to trying a wingsuit next weekend. Damn it - i just love jumping! Adi

    100mill - please somebody make me this offer! I think my lower limit would be about $800. Or maybe just a flight to LAX. I might change my reserve for a PD-R first though. Adi

    I think everything is fine as it is. There arent really enough people doing skysurf/freestyle/speed to warrant a special forum. The student one would be a bad idea cos there would be nobody to answer questions. General student chat can go talk back + questions in S+T or general discussions.

    Anyone know the results from the second stop, at netheravon.
