Big way jumpers must take a lot of naps to fill in the huge gaps between them actually getting in the air in a day, when they hijack the manefest from all decent hard working 4-way teams I only jibe because my high score of 31 is hardly a thing to write home about with some of the big way jumpers around here - in fact my 4-way is hardly something to write home about but I enjoy in and every now and then look good on video - bring on the week end for team training at netheravon (subject of course to the british weather) The CLF On break off turn and track as far and as fast as possible....

I think the BPA have already set up a working group to discuss the implications on insurance and are considering putting a 200 jump limit on the wearing of booties The CLF On break off turn and track as far and as fast as possible.... Because not only your life depends on it but so does mine!!

In a spate of 'I've got new kit and want to use it now' over common sense I got my new jumpsuit with mega air blast go faster booties last year and went straight in the wind tunnel with other people before I'd even jumped it. The power and control differences are quite amazing and not to be taken lightly, I parallel it to driving - I can drive perfectly well and drive my 4x4 around the country as if it was a sports car (working hard with normal booties on) but if I got in a Porshe (mega booties) and started thrashing it around in the same way with out additional coaching or attention I would end up wrapping it around a tree (or bouncing off the tunnel wall repeatedly).

I've read it......It contains all the favourite subjects, Hannibal, Death and Eating people! Whilst it offers an explanation of how he started to become bad and more about his wonderful memory palace you get to thinking that this might have been written at the bequest of the film producers so that they could turn a very commendable trilogy of films in to a series of four - which suprisingly they have have, it is due out in the UK in Feb I believe, but obviously without Tony Hopkins for I think it difficult for a man of his age to pretend to be an 18 year old medical student of a child in the war on the Russian front.

Listen to Stumpy, don't go with expectations of becoming a skygod/tunnel rat on your first flight.

I take my hat off to the unmatched genius, that was so obvious I didn't think of it.

I have been studying peoples signature blocks recently as they are a good expression of a persons psychie and personality and was wondering with under two months to go what will replace Ron's tag of New for 2006, Smileys with every post!!!!!

Craig, Was this an old edition of Metro ie before 26/27 SEPTEMBER or have the gremlins just got in to the keyboard again

Bigmike, Paul is quite right, the tunnel in this context for you is a tool, any good coach will help you work on stability and control. For most peple throwing themselves over backwards is not exactly difficult - it resembles going unstable and waving your arms around a bit (if you see the videos of my AFF you'd understand) but the getting stable flat and on heading is the thing we all had to work on - the tunnel can really help you achieve this (especially in a massive place like bedford where early attempts are not as easily hampered by nearby walls). Realistically there is no chance of doing loops/flips etc at this stage, if you want to see how it is done look at SDM.com, but they have thousands of jumps and probablyy hundreds of hours of body flying to do it. But remember it is a tool and as you stated a means to an end, you can only pass level 6 in the air so keep jumping. The CLF On break off turn and track as far and as fast as possible....

Quite right I missed that one, staying rehydrated is v v important and not enough people are comfortable supping from the water bottles at the side of the tunnel The CLF On break off turn and track as far and as fast as possible.... Because not only your life depends on it but so does mine!!

I think we all have to face the fact that doing strenuous activity for lengthy durations is going to hurt if we are not used to it. If you didn't run regualy doing a ten miler will be sore in the morning, or doing two 1 hour aerobics classes back to back is going to cause pain if you have never been to a class before. Surely it is worth thinking carefully about how much time we all book in a quest for excellence if the body is not used to it - in simple terms you are wasting money and hurting your body if you try and do too much at once. I have to agree with the early posters though, if you are fit and flexible (ie done some stretches before going in) the body is going to accept what is coming a lot better and be able to recover from it a lot sooner. IMHO that is

I was trying to find a bit of fun to brighten up a dull tuesday and the comedian Peter Kay had this to say: 1) Triangular sandwiches taste better than square ones. 2) At the end of every party there is always a girl crying. 3) One of the most awkward things that can happen in a pub is when your pint-to-toilet cycle gets synchronised with a complete stranger. 4) You've never quite sure whether it's ok to eat green crisps. 5) Everyone who grew up in the 80's has entered the digits 55378008 into a calculator. 6) Reading when you're drunk is horrible. 7) Sharpening a pencil with a knife makes you feel really manly. 8) You're never quite sure whether it's against the law or not to have a fire in your back garden. Nobody ever dares make cup-a-soup in a bowl. 11) You never know where to look when eating a banana. 12) Its impossible to describe the smell of a wet cat. 13) Prodding a fire with a stick makes you feel manly. 14) Rummaging in an overgrown garden will always turn up a bouncy ball. 15) You always feel a bit scared when stroking horses. 16) Everyone always remembers the day a dog ran into your school. 17) The most embarrassing thing you can do as schoolchild is to call your teacher mum or dad. 18) The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity. 19) Some days you see lots of people on crutches. 20) Every bloke has at some stage while taking a pee flushed half way through and then raced against the flush. 21) Old women with mobile phones look wrong! 22) Its impossible to look cool whilst picking up a Frisbee. 23) Driving through a tunnel makes you feel excited. 24) You never ever run out of salt. 25) Old ladies can eat more than you think. 26) You can't respect a man who carries a dog. 27) There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got your hand or head stuck in something. 28) No one knows the origins of their metal coat hangers. 29) Despite constant warning, you have never met anybody who has had their arm broken by a swan. 30) The most painful household incident is wearing socks and stepping on an upturned plug. 31) People who don't drive slam car doors too hard 32) You've turned into your dad the day you put aside a thin piece of wood specifically to stir paint with. 33) Everyone had an uncle who tried to steal their nose. 34) Bricks are horrible to carry. 35) In every plate of chips there is a bad chip.

Well done Andy that is a true reflection on british society, this is another view STATE OF THE NATION – Sad but true. REST OF THE WORLD VERSION: The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building and improving his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. THE END THE BRITISH VERSION: The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed. A social worker finds the shivering grasshopper, calls a press conference and demands to know why the squirrel should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like the grasshopper, are cold and starving. The BBC shows up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper; with cuts to a video of the squirrel in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food. The British press inform people that they should be ashamed that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so while others have plenty. The Labour Party, Greenpeace, Animal Rights and The Grasshopper Council of GB demonstrate in front of the squirrel's house. The BBC, interrupting a cultural festival special from Notting Hill with breaking news, broadcasts a multi cultural choir singing "We Shall Overcome". Ken Livingstone rants in an interview with Trevor McDonald that the squirrel has gotten rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the squirrel to make him pay his "fair share" and increases the charge for squirrels to enter inner London. In response to pressure from the media, the Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The squirrel's taxes are reassessed. He is taken to court and fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as builders for the work he was doing on his home and an additional fine for contempt when he told the court the grasshopper did not want to work. The grasshopper is provided with a council house, financial aid to furnish it and an account with a local taxi firm to ensure he can be socially mobile. The squirrels' food is seized and re distributed to the more needy members of society, in this case the grasshopper. Without enough money to buy more food, to pay the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, the squirrel has to downsize and start building a new home. The local authority takes over his old home and utilises it as a temporary home for asylum seeking cats who had hijacked a plane to get to Britain as they had to share their country of origin with mice. On arrival, they tried to blow up the airport because of Britain's apparent love of dogs. The cats had been arrested for the international offence of hijacking and attempted bombing but were immediately released because the police fed them pilchards instead of salmon whilst in custody. Initial moves to then return them to their own country were abandoned because it was feared they would face death by the mice. The cats devise and start a scam to obtain money from peoples credit cards. A Panorama special shows the grasshopper finishing up the last of the squirrels food, though spring is still months away, while the council house he is in, crumbles around him because he hasn't bothered to maintain the house. He is shown to be taking drugs. Inadequate government funding is blamed for the grasshoppers' drug 'illness'. The cats seek recompense in the British courts for their treatment since arrival in UK. The grasshopper gets arrested for stabbing an old dog during a burglary to get money for his drugs habit. He is imprisoned but released immediately because he has been in custody for a few weeks. He is placed in the care of the probation service to monitor and supervise him. Within a few weeks he has killed a guinea pig in a botched robbery. A commission of enquiry, that will eventually cost £10,000,000 and state the obvious, is set up. Additional money is put into funding a drug rehabilitation scheme for grasshoppers and legal aid for lawyers representing asylum seekers is increased. The asylum seeking cats are praised by the government for enriching Britain's multicultural diversity and dogs are criticised by the government for failing to befriend the cats. The grasshopper dies of a drug overdose. The usual sections of the press blame it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity and his traumatic experience of prison. They call for the resignation of a minister. The cats are paid a million pounds each because their rights were infringed when the government failed to inform them there were mice in the United Kingdom. The squirrel, the dogs and the victims of the hijacking, the bombing, the burglaries and robberies have to pay an additional percentage on their credit cards to cover losses, their taxes are increased to pay for law and order and they are told that they will have to work beyond 65 because of a shortfall in government funds. Oh my god – I am a squirrel and I want my ferking scoff back. The CLF On break off turn and track as far and as fast as possible.... Because not only your life depends on it but so does mine!!
