1.if you are going to your belly AT ALL in a free fly dive you need to work on your basic stability before you worry about your mobility... 2. dont put your arms behind you. It's a bad habit, bad form, and can cause ugly shoulder injuries. 3. your torso is your largest wing.. if you are backsliding you are likely using it by leaning forward... once you have a solid stable sit (can fall straight down the 'tube') start by squeezing your shoulder blades together as if you were holding a tennis ball between them and slowly push your shoulder blades backwards into the wind while maintaining your arm and leg positions.. this is your primary source of drive in a sit.. 4. Get a coach.. and or get an experienced freeflier to lead a 'sitfly flocking dive' that allows everyone in the dive to work on forward motion.. (it is far easier to backslide like a bat out of hell than it is to drive) there are multiple ways to drive forward in a sit, but which one you use will depend on how far you need to go.. for example for small distances you can even use the bottom of your feet to give you the slight forward motion necessary to dock... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

keep your original.. attempting to 'reinvent yourself' by changing usernames after you have an established history on a wbeboard is simply silly, and i tend to lose respect for those who do it for anything other than significant legal/business related reasons.. there are times i wish i'd used something other than my usual online gaming name, but what the hell its a website.. pick your name at the door and live with it.. my .05 cents ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

only if their 'pondering' didnt stop when they found a belief system that was 'comfortable' for them... the majority of believers, in any religion never really, seriously investigate the full spectrum of Mysticism, Spirituality, Religion etc..... they only seek until they find an answer that gives them a 'warm fuzzy feeling of belonging' that isnt a true search for Truth or Enlightenment, but simply a placebo that those with herd mentalities to cling to when they tremble in the night... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

some city's have 'urban terrain' tours that allow you to see places you might not otherwise...i've been on the roof tops of several buildings legally just by signing up and showing up with my $20.. of course post 9/11 i imagine many of these tours have been discontinued in the interests of 'security' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

my GF has zero skydives, nearly an hour in the tunnel and was learning to back fly during her last session.. there is no reason why you could not learn freefly skills in the tunnel without ever making a skydive... however there are other issues/ nessesary skills to skydiving you cannot learn in the tunnel that are crucial to success (and survival) in every skydive.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

except for the fact that they will all be wearing HUGE rigs which will significantly affect the way they have to fly... that and the lack of tracking/break off skills might hamper any "immediate" kicking of arse... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

wow, and red, and a skydiver... this thread has confirmed the fact that my timing really really sucks... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

why? because it robbed a human of 'air time' ? it is a training tool.. why not use it to train birds as well? hell who cares what anyone does in it really (that doesnt damage the tunnel) once they pay for the time?? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Ok I am not trying to leave out other religions I just don't know what others call it.. perhaps studying how other religions veiw and accept death will help you answer the question you are really asking then..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

in daytime traffic at the speed limit almost exactly an hour... i make it in 45 from N of the airport most days ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

obviously not, if this is your first experience with a common type of attention seeking, or you think he had ANY REAL effect at all... on the Bonfire, DZ.com or anything more than a few hundred, mostly pointless posts..... he isnt the first, wont be the last, and isnt even the best or most amusing troll on this forum, much less the internet... so wtf are you getting excited about?? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

anyone who believes a post, thread or discussion on the internet to be an example of "the worst" or "the best" in people REALLY needs to get out and experience life a lot more.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

a worthless generalization.. i grew up on 'european humour' .... AC's posts exibited very little resemblance to 'subtle' or 'dry' humour... 'sad' and 'wants attention' would be a more apt description ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

true.. but it is always a good thing to remind everyone of that... it helps to give a bit of perspective.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

without amps, bass is pointless and its a pain to move them about....but i'll likely toss a guitar in the trunk for whenever.. i've got a decent acoustic i dont play well enough... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

everything is relative littleone...there is a good base in Tahoe already and i can make a stop if your running low on cheddar... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

well i've got at least one handy that hasnt been used properly in a while... my guitar works basically sucks.. but i can still fake my way through almost anything on bass.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Did you just watch Constantine or something? by your use of the word 'Heaven' you have limited yourself to a small set of possible Religions... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

yea baby!! any idea what dates? tunnel is getting pretty tight for the end of the year.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

yet another example where the Church proves it has no fucking clue what actually happens "naturally" in nature... wrong again honey. the natural law and laws of nature are not the same thing. try again. dont call me "honey". You havent the right and your far to hideous to flirt with for amusement purposes.. but i keep forgetting.. your Church defines "Natural Law" for you too... even though it got basic physics completely wrong and is still trying to catch up, DESPITE a 'direct line to God' in it's elected spiritual leader.... perhaps the Pope should ask God to switch him over to Verizon?? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
