    Yea I know... At least I landed...right? And wait...who are you? I spy the CPI logo in your av...

    Absolutely gooorgeous! So are you going to try to jump out the plane with it and land it?

    No it's not a musical tribute. If I tried to play any AC/DC songs on a guitar, Bon Scott would probably come back to life just so he could kick my ass. Anyways, the tribute is an ambigram (a word that can be read the same way after being rotated 180-degrees. Think the book Angels & Demons.) Take a look & comments are always welcome...remember, this is a tribute! I'm not plagiarizing their logo, just using my artistic ability to create something in a similar style from a different perspective.

    I believe you nailed it right there. And, IMHO, that's what the first solo should be. Me? MY first solo after AFF? (I won't go into my first delay after S/L...that's another story.) I did nothing except simply float and enjoy the view, no distractions, the freedom, the wind blowing in my hair, the lack of performance anxiety, landing and having to massage my cheeks form grinning so much. Just simply floated. It is one of my most memorable jumps. I am surprised you remember that far back. After all, that was 99999 jumps ago...

    Wait...are you the jimmy at the dropzone where i jump in CT, or you just happen to be another guy named jimmy on this board? And yes, I get your point...I'll have at it as soon as I get in the sky next time...

    My initial thought was "(leans out the airplane door) Oh hey, I SPOT the airport..there it is!" I know that's not it now, and I did receive an explanation from my instructor yesterday, but it hasn't sunk in yet. Can anyone offer some additional explanations? I know we'll go over it next weekend for my D/E/F jumps, but I would like to be more prepared. Yes I have a SIM but sometimes a personally-worded explanation works a lot better, rather then printed text with pictures. I speak from experience, as I teach full-time in a university...

    I think it's a great video...and I want to have as much fun on the first post-AFF jump as this guy!!! I am just curious why he did not do more of the maneuvers that are taught in AFF. Probably just a personal preference and wanting to have a steady relaxed first jump?

    I landed off-site on my 3rd B jump attempt. Ironically, I passed that attempt because I improved on what went wrong with the previous B jumps, except for landing AT the dropzone. Oh and I think I've officially become the butt of jokes at my home dropzone for that off-site landing. Hey at least they HAVE a sense of humor!

    Thank you for the reply and the welcome. Did 3 jumps this weekend...can't wait to go next weekend. Hoping to fly (pun intended) through my D2, my E and F.

    Why do you need to be stable? Good point.

    Oh even if it was me, you'd have my permission to bag on my form...I know that I would've straightened it out in the end

    Thanks Guade...but that's not me in the video..wish it was. I still have twenty..(checks his handbook)...one more jumps to go before my A.

    There's a good answer. Sometimes I wonder what the hell some people eat that makes their farts so incredibly horrid. I'd swear whatever they ate must have been rotten and decomposing before they even ate it. They must be feasting on week old road kill to smell that bad. If something that smelly came out of me I'd go see a doctor. Their large intestine must have the chemistry of a septic tank. Amen...on my B jump one of the JMs let one out right after takeoff and the smell wasn't gone before we got to altitude. Then today, on my C2, the JM let one out too, and it snuck up on me. I almost passed out and it wasn't out of fear of skydiving either!

    Depends on what you're trying to do, but generally speaking, whatever floats your (solo) boat. Nothing "bad" is going to happen to you because you exit that way if that's what you're asking. Well I can see that nothing 'bad' is going to happen, but since we're taught (as students) very specific exits out of airplanes, I was simply wondering is this is kosher or not. Too bad you can't do that out of a 182.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz7Ce3RI0f4 Not necessarily wrong, but is there a reason why you shouldn't exit the plane this way? Or is it perfectly fine as long as you are stable? I think it's a cool exit!

    I disagree. I haven't gotten anything in a while...

    That's not a bad site if you know how to modify/hand code. You only get 1 html page, a photoshop file (that has already been sliced up and exported as a webpage) and a CSS page. You have to create all others from scratch...

    Very friendly...but only if it's a legal version. The hacked versions tend to be a little...funny.

    You just screwed up a great joke... The REAL joke... Q. If a girl with big breasts works at Hooters, where does a girl with one leg work? A. IHOP.

    Let's hear some jokes...i see nothing but tumbleweeds rolling through here......so post your jokes, and everyone else will determine whether they are the funniest, corniest or just bad! My contributions... 1. Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? 2. What if you get scared half to death, twice? 3. Descartes walks into a bar. Bartender asks him 'Would you like a drink?' Descartes says 'I think not...' and poof! he disappears.

    Hahaha...that ESPN line is great. I never heard it before. "I saw a seagull sitting by a lake, and I said 'don't worry dude, I won't say shit!'" "I don't have a girlfriend, but I do know a girl who would get really mad if she heard me say that."
