That method is called the Frenzel maneuver its like doing the valsalva but instead of exhale air while clogging the nose what you do is use the throat muscles to compress the air against the squeezed nose, in time you get to learn how to use the throat/jaw muscles in a unconcious way, happens to all the scuba divers. Hope it helps. If I find an easier way to explain it I will do it.

ROFLMAO! Thanks for the laugh.

Hey Drew (or should I say wolverine, metal bones?), glad to hear you back, hope you get a speedy recovery! Ok things fun to do: go to a metal detector! and then after the machine beeps like crazy have a cute big boobie security guard search you. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

For climbing you can use the inverse valsalva. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I really dunno, ask that in the talkback forum to see what you get. About the other stuff, I just sent you a PM with some explaining and an apology. Don't want to keep it in the forum cause might give an excuse to somebody to feed our miscommunication and will break one of HH's rules, and yep I know tha rules, I have 400+ posts and none of the posts I have made have been deleted so far (knock on wood). Hope we can leave all this behind.

Hey people, thanks for the advice and tips. Let's see if I can win the war with the chest strap next sunday HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I have a dolphin and I can't loosen the chest strap under canopy, I collapse the slider, take it down and then start wrestling with the chest strap to loosen but its a mission with no success. Is there a special way to do it? a trick? a hint? something? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

try to practice the exit on the ground, remember to put your belly into the prop wash, knees slightly bent, relax and let it flow, let it happen make it natural. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Yeah I forgot that one about the jump numbers. Q: How many jumps you have? A: only 40 Whuffo: 40?!? Sooo many? wow you must be a pro by now. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Hi Santos, First of all drink a glass of cold water and relax. I have trouble with my english (almost everybody knows that by now), What I meant was what Remster said, smoother. Like you said we all have different opinions and we prefer the french than the US, please have some respect for that. Thanx. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

What goes around comes around. Don't worry about that. Thats another reason why I like to work with stores. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

oops! bad spot, oh well, anybody want some roast? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

right now whateva I can get from my friends, sometimes I use a yellow protec with goggles (have no brand, bought them in italy in a weird store), or a black Z1. Next week will be a bonehead boomerang. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

I don't plan doing that, am buying my copy but will like to keep a VHS copy just in case. I am buying it anyway even if you can't copy it. Another reason is cause lots of people don't have DVD and only have VHS, so if I can't tape it I might as well buy the VHS so I can see it in my friends house. Hope I don't get people pissed at me for asking that. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Has anybody tried taping off it? Can you tape a good stuff DVD into a VHS? or is it copy proof? HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Am having a very bad day, woke up with one of the worst cold of my life, head spinning and aching, fever very high, can't talk etc... worst thing is that am in the university finals and can't study cause am too sick to concenctrate and can't jump cause am sick. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Hope you get a better day. me, am with a very bad cold, head aching, body temperature is burning, can't talk, and can't stop coughing. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

ROFL! Yeah we can go up instead of down and thats very bad cause we don't have space suit and once we reach space we will be in trouble, but we know that the space missions are always on the look out for skydivers and many of them get saved. Like I said Whuffos are funny. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

The night before I saw that I was talking to my instructor about the 4-way teams and he was telling me that he liked the french better than the US team cause they have more style than the airspeed team (i think thats what he told me). HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Its fun to talk to a whuffo about skydiving, what are the most funny Q's you have recieved from a whuffo? Here goes mine: 10- What happens if the main and the reserve fails in the same jump? What happens if everything fails?(DUH!!) 9- How does it feel to breathe with your skin? (HUH? are we amphibious?) 8- What happens if you don't jump but fall from the airplane at 12,000? (mm... I wait for somebody to throw me the parachute, then catch it and put it on.) 7- How do you move in the air? do you flap your hands like birds do with wings? or do you swim in the air? (HUH?) 6- What will happen if I pull this (reserve handle)? (DON'T!!!!) 5- What happens when you are out of the plane? (I think we fall...) 4- What will happen if you jump in a cloud and go all the way down inside the cloud until you hit the ground? (say again) 3- What will happen if you forget to pull and the reserve doesnt open? (squash?) 2- Is it fun? (lemme see I spend 50$ every sunday just to make 2 jumps, I don't have a gf cause I am a skydiver and can't give her any time, I don't have free sunday cause I keep jumping. Nope is not fun) and the best, the one you were all waiting the numero 1 1- How can you spend 25$ a jumps on every sunday, you must have a load of cash to do that, I will become a skydiving instructor so I can make a load of money and be rich. (ROFLMAO! ok skydivers raise your hands all of you who are broke thanks to our lovely sport!) I raise my hand! Feel free to write the funniest Q's you have ever been asked. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Am broke , but might be a good investment. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

4:3:1 3 times I opened and my end cells were closed. It was kinda funny, on first jump the right end cell was closed, on second jump the left end cell was closed, on third jump both end cells were closed (want me to pack your canopy ). The number 4 is for one great day at the dropzone. 3 great RW 2-way jumps. 1 first price on the novice competition. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

We can't thank God enough, today we got a great weather and made 7 seneca loads to 12,000. Thank you God! HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Congrats Clay, hey you should make an article for dz.com called "how to be a profetional post whore, from the man with 10,000" HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com

Use your knee, it caught air when you stowed the lines, if you put pressure with the knee in the middle of the d-bag (inside the container) that way you will squeeze the air out giving you that lil space you need to pass the closing loop. And then go drink some margaritas! HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com
