I have heard iFLY instructors explain in the short training seminar to newbies to Gradually straighten their legs until they get stable upon seeing the signal to do so. Personally and as far as my 1st flight went there is so much stuff going on in ones brain during their 1st flight that very few can remember much of the quick seminar class specifics. It took about 14 minutes for me to get stable on my belly - actually was a WOW moment for me when that bulb lit brightly. Bottom Line - it's like coaches tell me now after almost 11 hours in the tube - it just takes time to catch on - no matter what we are working on in the tunnel.

WOW - who would have thought - A Woman Scorned?? - https://youtu.be/HCLNH-5COv4 Worth a laugh if nothing else. :)

Again my apology for messing this thread about a shooting accident up. Didn't figure it would take off so much. As far as me being a trumpeteer I don't believe I am but just try to look at some of the hype from different angles. I will admit Trump says some crazy stuff and is very aggressive but the guy is who he is and come election people will decide if they want more of his style management or not. I don't think I can be classified as a Trump devotee just because I don't slam him with glee as many enjoy doing. Can't we all just get along - maybe we all should pick a tunnel and all go fly and agree not to talk politics.

Discussion over - The End!!

Guess we'll just have to disagree on this - I wouldn't share zip w/media. I know where I want him to take the Nation but as events and situations change everything any of us want go up for grabs. OBTW my apologies for hijacking your thread kallend -

HaHa U may be right on skivvies - at the moment I was writing I thought it meant "inside info" oh well blew that. :) I run into so many people that don't have a clue what indoor skydiving is - it's unreal - so IMHO national exposure on a show like AGT would help many to know of it so they could go do it. Ever since my 1st flight I have told every person I come into contact about bodyflight and that they should fly at least once since there ain't much on earth like it. Yeah I know it's close to freefall but one can't shoot up/rapidly ascend in freefall - big difference to me - not that skydiving isn't cool too.

In the current climate would anyone of us in his position share much with the media other than stuff that drives them and others to distraction. I mean the 6:00 pm news a massive amount of their very limited air time all about tweets instead of serious issues. Their licenses should be pulled for wasting so much time on anyone's tweets including Trump's. So stupid. No

Skydeker said - "Great. What official presidential plan could be behind disparaging remarks about female journalists?" Oh - So now females are exempt from playing hardball - so much for gender equality. What is disparaging about mention of a facelift, some post operative bleeding and saying the word "NO" to express empathy - lacking full context of their conversation challenges anyone's accurate interpretation of what really went on when these two who hounded him for an interview got the interview - than went on to trash him - nice way to say Thank You to him. News media claims Trumps remarks were sexist but I can't see it in the tweets - he criticized both a female and male then she comes back with a remark about hands sized for cheerios which most understand comes with an obvious very personal connotation to a male. Seems that the woman's response was the vulgar sexist one - just sayin'.

Politics is like nature - it gets manipulated by man to be this way and that - same thing with our presidency as perceptions of it and the President are being spun/manipulated to create agenda specific perceptions - I don't use Trump's twitter exploits to slam him since there may way more to his perceived madness than meets the eye. I believe he has a plan but as he said when he was campaigning - 'he won't share his plans with the enemy like Obama did' - but to be honest I thought he was talking specifically about military action but the way it looks he meant that to pertain to all he plans.

And the way Resist"ors" the Media and Dem obstructionists are acting (perceived as coordinating each other by many including Dems) Pres. Trump will have a 2nd term. Almost everyone but the deplorables are trying to rip him up - Americans of both parties eventually root for and will vote IMO for the underdog very often. Should he come out smelling like a rose after all the mud/accusations/investigations being thrown at him I believe he will get many votes from new supporters in addition to his loyalists. Right or wrong at least he is trying to accomplish something while the other idiots in congress (both sides) just try to destroy themselves and the other sides objectives.

Hhhhmmmm - Didn't think of that !!! :)

Just sent the ? to the AGT show's fb page -

Major Development IMHO. Last night near the end of America's Got Talent TV show a very quick clip showed a lady bodypilot in a tunnel - So - the question is - does anyone know more of the details and when indoor skydiving will be on this mainstream major network show? Should really help promote the sport to the masses and have it accepted as an Olympic venue.

Personally I think there may be many mostly unknown supporters of President Trump and his ideas. They may never come out publicly to support him (even among their friends) but when voting or writing to support or oppose various issues - the truth becomes apparent.

"U turn by cargo ship in heavy traffic area. " - very big deal IMHO Hopefully we'll find out what that was about.

To me nothing adds up so far on this near catastrophe. Tragic for the crew members - condolences to them for sure. What a horror this must have been for them.

Sunday's network talking heads mention the US ship hit the container ship BUT the track of the ships shown on main networks clearly illustrate the container ship made almost a complete U-Turn (145 +- degrees counter clockwise) after nearly missing the aft of the US ship on the 1st pass to come back and eventually ramming and nearly sinking the USS Fitzgerald during a 2nd pass. Maybe someone here can explain how this could possibly be an accident.

When on dropzone.com one better supply links, videos etc. - if one is arguing a point - dz folks ain't no easy sell. ;) And that's a good thing IMHO.

Many opinions on what is a smoking gun these days from folks much more knowledgeable then me - so I'll wait on the former FBI director now in charge of the special investigation to decide the smoking gun issue. I was just curious if anyone else had thought of what popped up in my mind today. Agreed that neither one of these guys are babes in the woods.

Trump has dug himself down in a deep hole by many stupid and unnecessary actions he has taken. The new ? Comey's discussion caused for me came from a question asked by Ms Feinstein along the lines of - Why didn't you tell Mr Trump he shouldn't be asking what he is asking of you (e.g Comey). To me Comey is a very street wise pro who is not easily intimidated even by a President - I mean Comey was the head of one of the most powerful investigative agencies on earth. Was Comey trying to bait the President to see if he would become more demanding in subsequent meetings? Kind of like a sting operation? Regular Cops are pretty well known for doing that - Why would the FBI be any different?

Agreed Quade - I was trying to convey my personal interpretation of her body language and should have made that more clear - I do believe that the body can expose lies without doubt. Law enforcement relies heavily on it in many ways. Of course it is not great to base an interpretation on one signal from a persons body and I would hate to see a person convicted of anything based soley on body language. But as far as Ms Griffin goes - the eye roll and head wiggling did it for me. Regardless of politics I do not think she was being sincere and probably came close to puking as she made it.

She also wiggled her head to left and right @ 39 seconds into the video Indicating "NO" with that body language IMO as she said the words "...I was wrong..." - Whether people believe it or not body language tells the truth. Would not want to be in her shoes from now 'till her end.

It seems to me that you are one who appreciates being taken seriously and understand some comments are facetious but when a person resorts to complain about someone's spelling on threads like this I become concerned as to their credibility - hoping the spell check was meant to be facetious. Please forgive me if I spelled something incorrectly. ;)
