Be quiet now. You seem to have an amazingly bad attitude towards just about everyone. I found SVNH to be a friendly place that I'd like to return to, but now I think I'd call to make sure you're not there first! ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

This fucking term needs to go away quickfast. First, we're almost all immigrants anyway (apologies to the Native American Indians among us) and secondly, things would be a lot smoother around here if: a) those of us that are citizens all started considering ourselves to be "Members of the United States of America" with no BS hyphenated add-ons, and b) we stop harboring, employing, and protecting illegal immigrants. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

What did anyone expect. And those plastic cups are no more ecologically disasterous than the plastic water bottles everyone and their mother is carrying around these days.

I like that. A good "feeling" word. Fun to say. I'll give it a 9.8 out of 10. "Fucktard". Cool. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I'm gonna vote for "Tard." Who the FUCK at Merriam/Webster thinks that w00t really needs to be "officially added" to the English language? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Yay. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

More than half of my AFF students stand their first landing. It's not difficult, and it's not a goal you should shoot for. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

"Brick Top" in real life? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

At your stage in the game it will cause more trouble than good. While it may stop the spin, you'll now be tumbling and loosing altitude at a greater rate, plus there is no guarantee that you won't just re-enter a spin when you flip back to your belly. The lesson that you're supposed to be learning is how to control your heading. Some tips. You need to be able to recognise a turn before it starts so keep your attention out on the horizon. You don't need to pick a specific point like a house or tree, but know when you're starting to turn away from "west" for example. Stopping a turn before it gets too big helps alot, so therefore recognition is key. When you see that you're beginning to turn away from your heading, turn back to it. Dip your elbow closer to that heading. Make sure you're not tensing up the rest of your body, that's where your spin starts. If you start spinning, stop trying so hard to fix it. Fix one thing at a time. ARCH first. Then wait a moment. Breathe. If you arch, and you're doing it properly, the spin should slow to just a turn since your body is symmetrical. And talk with YOUR instructors. Do not take advice from the internet and implement it without discussing it with them first. They can only assist and teach you if they know what you're up to. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
