  1. Thanks! "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  2. I've been wanting to watch my AFF1 video. I saw your post and had to watch it! Thanks. What cracks me up about mine (and my tandem) was that my hands are fully extended and stiff. It's a tough balance between arched and relaxed, I think. I'm only at 17. What helped me out a lot was to tell myself on exit, "arch," then "straighten legs." Being conscious of this second part helped me a lot. You have to be firm with your legs. The air is rushing up so don't give in to the resistance. On my first coached jump, my instructor told me to tap my toes together if I'm turning (unwanted) to make sure my legs are even. Be conscious of being symmetrical, and be strong on your turns and maintaining heading. I don't know if there is a wind tunnel near you, but that helped me tremendously. -Michele "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  3. Before I did my tandem I didn't know if I'd ever to it again. As soon as we were under canopy, I had no doubt. Being nervous about flying your own canopy is natural because it's the most dangerous part (and I was nervous because in the harness room I found that flaring took more musclepower than I expected, but I could still do it. They made the harness room harder than the real thing). Your instructors will be there with you until you are pulled out of their hands by your deploying canopy, and like Sunshine said, they'll guide you down. You're gonna do great. Have a great tandem and then AFF!! "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  4. IMO, if someone has a terminal illness, euthanasia should be allowed. There is concern about abuse, I know, but realistically, euthanasia already happens, for example they just steadily increase the morphine. Terminal sedation is already allowed (at least here in CA. Someone I loved went peacefully this way). Terminal sedation and euthanasia aren't the same thing, but they both allow a person to be relieved of pain, to let go.

  5. Awwww, what a sweet little baby!
  6. I agree that Will Ferrell is a crack up, but he takes his clothes off too much... eww. I haven't seen SNL in a while so I don't know if this is the case or even if he's still on there. Maybe I ought to stay up tonight and catch up. My all time favorite is Adam Sandler. I'll never forget when he did Heavy Man Man on the news. I never laughed so hard.

  7. Oh man, I suck. I can't get past 600! "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  8. That third one is very cool. Although that rock wasn't probably wasn't going anywhere, and think it would take some balls to get up there. Reminds me of a time camping in Ocatilla Wells (So. Cal), and we found giant boulders forming a small cave formation, so we set up our port-a-potty in there. Every time I went in there I there, I thought, if these rocks give way, what a way to go.

  9. OMG... a naked tandem... that's flippin crazy. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  10. LMAO. That would NOT be a good thing. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  11. I've just started skydiving recently, and it seems to me that it's such a lifestyle and so time consuming that it would seem difficult to have a non-jumping partner. Anyway, all I can say now is that I'm smitten with skydiving! . If someone was already in a relationship then started skydiving, I could see how it might cause a problem.

  12. Yikes, Chelle. You live in Thousand Oaks... what a drive. Hey Darcy, I've been debating on jumping tomorrow because week of spring break I'm spending a fortune finishing up my coached jumps and the packing class. But I so want to go to Perris tomorrow like every Saturday. I'm sure I can scrape up some for a solo. So, likely I'll see you there!!!
  13. Your designs are not too flashy. IMO they are cool and I think it's even cooler that you designed them. Way to go. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
