Yeah I hear that one all the time. They always say the same time amount too, regardless of the uppers, and they dont say anything about the 45 degree angle which is way more important than the count. I have seen so many students count to eight really fast without looking out and then just jump. Anyways I have two: 1. First off, I think that tracking dives should go out after RW and freefly groups. So this group of guys that think they are hot shit get in the plane and say "We are tracking and we are out first". How do you argue when you will only get a bunch of shit for it. 2. One of the coaches at the DZ is doing a coach jump with a student that only has like 15 jumps and is pulling at like 4000. He gets in after the freefly groups and says "We are doing a two way RW so we are out before the freefliers. " What the fuck? I guess you cant argue sometimes.

Okay. This might sound very odd and maybe a little obsessed. One thing that has really helped me is to use the hip abductor(the one where you sit down and push your legs outwards...HEY! no gutter thoughts) machine at the gym. I go to the gym anyway so I just added this into my routine. What I do is take deep breaths and relax my whole upper body while I am using the machine; that way I am flexing the muscles used to spread the legs in a basic head down position while keeping the muscles in my upper body(which tend to tense up when learning hd) totally relaxed. It is funny because at first you will catch yourself flexing your upper body to try to get more strength out of your legs, which doesnt really work. One of the most important things that I have learned from experienced flyers and coaches alike is that a major problem when learning this position is that you tense up in your shoulders and arms and it makes flying HD a whole lot tougher and less stable, especially when learning to dock. I think it is a good visualization exercise for learning muscle control/muscle memory even if it does sound a little weird.

Up Up and away...

It wasnt a paid coach jump but yeah that would suck to pay for a coach jump and then really fuck up. I have done that a couple times. I felt like a real ass.

Oh they both told me what I need to work on and all that. It was things that I have no problem with when I am doing two ways with other people. I just wanted to show them I could fly. What a dummy I was! You are all right though, I just feel like I blew it, but it doesnt really matter. Just wish I could have done better, thats all. Shit!

I got a chance to jump with a couple of guys (one freefly coach/load organizer and one instructor), both of whom are great freefliers, yesterday at my dz. I thought, "ok I know I can do this, so I will just relax". Of course I was nervous, not having very many jumps. The first half of the skydive went really good but then I fucked it up and blew the rest of the jump. I know that they probably couldnt care less mostly since they both get free jumps, but I still feel like a shithead. Anyways, has this ever happened to any of you?

This is a great exit but an important addition, especially when you are not falling straight, is to turn 90 degrees once you are on your head(or feel like you are) so that you are not going into someone elses airspace. I saw something really bad almost happen last weekend. Edit: And coaching never hurts either.

Yes but havent found anything

I searched but did not find much, Can anyone list some good sites for used digital video cams as well as used helmet setups? Thanks.

That same ad and picture is on a park bench right by my house.

ARCH!!

I would sue the bee.

Actually, it's: THE FREEFLY™ LICENSE ATMOSPHERE DOLPHIN TEST (The First human flight performance test) Since they wouldnt let me post this on the other thread, check this out. Just an interesting piece of info.

Tommy Boy

Both! And you dont know me but I will be there. Question, though. It says the mens registration is only $20 and we still get $17 jumps. Is this really wrong?

Quickly...How do you make things clicky by just having a word there instead of the entire address?

Or: "Felcher? From Cranston? Yeah!...I mean I remember you talkin about her."

How about: "Oh, yes waiter. I ll have the taco plate with no gaucamols." "And Ill have the chinchilla!"

How about: "Shutup and sit down you big bald fuck."

This is a great point...not including anything, especially a TM, from the AD system.

Nope... I'm in Sebastian, Florida now.

Hey, we are trying to have fun here. Relax!!

Also, the two guys are flying perfectly next to each other and somehow one guys lands in the trees perfectly fine and another lands out in an open field with a messed up leg. Hmmmnn.....

Even funnier was in the Tomb raider 2 movie where they run off the edge of the building with wing suits on. How the fuck do you run in a bird man suit?

AHHNOLD!!
