    Because it's going side to side and not up and down?
  2. Kimblair13
    Yeah...at our DZ we let students pull the ripcord. They know it's time when we give them the pull signal.

    That's some high-quality stitching there!

    Thanks, you can use it too if you want. OK...so maybe I should re-phrase my quesiton...it was more directed toward tandem students than AFF students. Maybe alot of TI's don't allow students to pull, but ones that do...do you also throw in when you pull to keep a hard arch?
  5. Kimblair13
    So, just wondering...what Instructors tell their students that at pull time they need to tighten their butt, or keep their arch strong so they don't kick themselves in the face? At my DZ we give them the finger as a pull signal and I've heard my DZO many times, even before this whole recent incident, to do this. Just curious if this is the norm or not, or if Instructors just don't worry about that.

    That's a good idea!

    It can be. Most have the seal symbol on one side and their initials on the other. My name only being 3 letters, I have my seal symbol and name.

    More like swoop tights! And nice blue butt

    What about those tree's! Muah ha haaaa...

    I agree the ass shot is not the best. But... I know 2 very very excellent TI's that do poised exits. All the TI's at my DZ that don't do poised exits pretty much can't do them and have a tumblefuck of an exit. I would much rather see my Instructors ass followed by my face rather quickly, than me and my TI tumbling for 2,000 ft. until the drogue FINALLY comes out. Anyways...to me diving out was easier...did it for my training jumps and first 20-30 or so paid tandems. It took it little more from me to figure out the poised exit. Basically all 500+ tandems of mine have been from 182's...so different planes might make harder/easier exits. I don't know. This is just all my opinion and things I've noticed at my home DZ. I'm sure things can be/are different elsewhere.

    I guess I learned the diveout way at the course...but was coaxed into this method at my home DZ.

    :12 (25 for week): First tandem save (me!), first jump on new Tandem SET, first paid video jump.

    "Semi-normal" would be you. I don't have to say what/who is not normal. You know. And Slick Rick needs to do his phase 2 jumps with you tomorrow, ok?
  14. Kimblair13
    OK...how many tandems, on average, do you think a person should have before they have "semi-normal" exits? I mean...do you think right away an Instructor should be OK at them? After Phase 1 and 2? 100 tandems? More? Explain please. And...how many tandems can someone go being fucking scary without anyone saying anything? When should it boil down to someones rating just being yanked?

    I know I know. It was a slow weekend.

    :25(Sat & Sun) 48(whole week): Personal Record for jumps on Saturday with 15 and PR for Tandems with 14. Made my 500th tandem.
  17. Kimblair13
    14 tandems and 1 vid of a dude in a pink bunny suit. Good stuff!
  18. Kimblair13
    Wow that seems totally fucked up to me. I don't want the zip-ties for that!
  19. Kimblair13
    I've seen some DZ's put a plastic tab type thing on rigs, so that you don't have to look at the packing data card to see when it's due. Some look like plastic locks and some more just a big zip-tie...anyone know where these can be purchased?
  20. Kimblair13
    I mainly get alot of bruises on my knees and shit when I get busy doing tandems. But...my Mom is anemic, so who knows.
  21. Kimblair13
    WHAT! Isn't there ginseng in Red Bull!? It is sadly not possible for me to cut back on that.
  22. Kimblair13
    Anyone a health nut and know if there's a certain food/vitamin to eat that will help fight off bruises?
  23. Kimblair13
    Ha ha haaaa. Too cute! He should be a model.
  24. Kimblair13
    9 out of 10 (I'm 21) OK maybe 8 cuz not a real toker. But I can act!
  25. Kimblair13
    I hope Terry wins too. But Aras is hot so he would be good to win also.
