    Don't believe everything you read on the Internet...including skydiving instructions and humility.

    I am not an instructor and I have no idea what I'm doing. That being said, when I was on cat c2 I could not stop turning either. My body was actually not straight, I was leaning left with my upper body. That makes it tough to stop the turn or go right. I found this out by going to the tunnel and having them video tape me and working out my problems. So basically this is a long winded way of me agreeing with the first post. You can figure out in the air what is wrong and how to fix it, but you can do it much faster in the tunnel. This goes for every level of flying.

    occasionally I won't wear a helmet for a HNP or helicopter jump but other than that it's always on and strapped.

    If you can get a canopy into a D-bag you can get an audible into a G3. Just keep kicking it till its in.

    I had no intentions of ever skydiving. I got laid off and was working nights at a bar to make ends meet. The manager there, who i thought was an arrogant asshole when I first met him, asked me if I wanted to go on his annual skydiving adventure. I figured if this guy could do it so could I. I ended up loving it and the rest is history. Oh yeah the manger is now one of the friends I respect most on this planet. Funny how things change if you open yourself up and allow it.

    Flight 1 is more valuable then the b license IMHO. it sis well worth every penny. I would talk to Aaron Stocum at Z Hills about it. You won't regret it.

    Excellent man. Every jump gets better and better. Good luck on your journey. Oh and straighten your dad the fuck out...its bounce, not splat.

    I had to tell my brain to shut the fuck up I need to jump. Then I jumped. Don't think, just act. I also had the song Dyers Eve by Metallica playing in my head on the ride to altitude. That helped.

    You're about to embark on a really, really , really awesome journey. Take the time to savor each jump. Rush though nothing, enjoy everything you can.

    Beautiful footage!

    As God as my judge, I thought turkeys could tunnel fly.

    I think 4 minutes coached can make a difference in your ability to perform in AFF. You will be a bit more comfortable in freefall and hopefully will fall stable once they let go of you on your c jump. 15 minutes is great but 4 minutes is better than none.
  13. Trafficdiver
    I've never been able to think about daily BS in freefall. Even the times I worried that I would...they still disappeared at the door.

    Which is interesting, because the court transcript says: maybe some concerned citizen ought to ask the unemployment office to start a fraud investigation since she seems to spend all of her time trying to close the DZ instead of looking for work. I like the way you think!
  15. Trafficdiver
    Its an invaluable tool for freeflying and it's fun and challenging. I love wasting money on it.
  16. Trafficdiver
    You should harness that power...and jerk off right after landing.

    Yes. http://www.skydivekingair.com I jumped it in May and it's a beast. 7 minutes to 14.5 K. does he still " help " everyone up off the floor with a little zero g at exit exit exit! Yes and I didn't know it was coming so I started whooping and yelling as I floated up.

    Gojump DZ in Oceanside CA Vermont Skydive Adventures in Addison VT Contadora in Panama is pretty awesome too, but you probably wouldn't want to live there.
  21. Trafficdiver
    Awesome man! It's nice being passed AFF with all those instructors holding on to you. Done your HnP's yet? Have you been in the new tunnel out there?
  22. Trafficdiver
    Condoms. Other than that everything is fine used.
  23. Trafficdiver
    40 shades of green! I really want to get over and jump at the Irish Parachute club some day. I bet it's a blast. Good luck on your journey. Every jump is excellent!
  24. Trafficdiver
    Yeah, when it finally clicks it's awesome! Sometimes I'll go home and want to high five my walls cause there's no one else to high five. As for doing the tunnel for an hour before AFF I say go for it! I did 15 minutes during my C1 jump and it made me so much better. An hour would have been even better. Unless it's going to financially hurt your then there is very little downside..other than getting hooked.

    My advice. Fly to Tampa. Either rent a car or use your family members to drive you to the Wal Mart in Zephyrhills. Buy a $30 tent and a $20 sleeping bag, and toiletries if you care about hygiene. Drive to Skydive city. Tell family member to fuck off. Set up tent and drop the money for your FJC and first AFF jump ( or pay for all of your 8 AFF jumps in advance). Then relax and go with the flow. All of your answers and wildest fantasies will manifest themselves in the next few days. The crew down in Z Hills right now is awesome and you can thank me for the advice later.
