Know what you mean, I had a few pretty big line twists during AFF...always kicked out no probs. Although I didn't actually want them, I felt it was a positive thing to experience less than perfect situations whilst still under instruction, where every jump is being talked through and evaluated.

Head south dude! I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

12/16 on first attempt...not bad I thought! http://modestypanel.com/SorSE/# I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

If your man's been living in the US I'm sure he's used to a bit of travelling...don't listen to us Brits when we talk about long distances, they're usually only long to us and laughable to the rest of the world...its only a little island you know! Anyway, I've never actually jumped in my own country, and although I'm from Kent, have like many others been advised to give Headcorn a miss when I get back...shame coz its ten mins from my front door!

I made the same mistake...you should have learnt already mate. I found it really frustrating when all I needed for my A was a packing signature. Typically the weather was glorious, the DZ was f**king busy and I was having to find someone to teach me to pack, help me through it, and then sign me off...worst of all I was stuck in a dark hanger while all my friens were notching up 5/6 jumps a day (I needed my A in a hurry as I was leaving the country). I really wished I'd got it out the way on one of those rainy/windy/cloudy days we all love so much! I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

I don't know, but it feels really good doesn't it?...especially when you're starting out. I can remember being nervous as f**k on a few early AFF jumps, a bit of skin from a few others in the plane (especially a 'cool' freeflyer!!) put a big smile on my face and just made me forget the nerves, feel part of the family and remember that this is f**king amazing!

That's cool, it took me well over ten jumps to properly land on my feet well, and even now I often stumble or slide on my knees a bit. Although it'd be really nice to land every jump beautifully, I'm a firm believer in every landing you walk away from is a good one....having said that, I need to be! I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

Fairly easy, just do exactly what your instructor says and over you go...sort of! Anyway, I'm pretty sure that they're more concerned with you recovering stability afterwards than performing a really tight loop...whatever happens have fun! I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

Any gear availble to hire? I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

A DZ I used to jump at used hand-cams to film tandems...a lot of the comments immediately after opening were hilarious and ensured that they'd never be able to show them to their mums...eg. "F**King awesome man...better than E!" I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

Well done...perma-grin sums it up perfedtly!!!

Sorry I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

Glad to hear that you admit the US presidency tends to carry a grudge too! Wasn't the quote "That man tried to kill my Daddy"? I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

Is that not in NZ (Mt Matheson maybe?)...if not, it looks really similar...you know the one, Paramount movies use it as their logo I may be gullible but at least I have a magic fish

Sorry if you've heard it: Questions to George Bush George Bush is visiting an elementary school and announces to the class, "You can all ask me questions." A boy named Bobby raises his hand and says, "I have 3 questions for you": 1) How did you win the election with less votes than Gore? 2) Isn't it true that you want to declare war on Iraq in order to get oil 3) Why hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden. Then the bell sounds and all the kids run out to the playground. 15 Minutes later the kids come back in class and again Bush says, "You can all ask me questions." A boy named Charlie raises his and says, "I have 5 questions for you": 1) How did you win the election with less votes than Gore? 2) Isn't it true that you want to declare war on Iraq in order to get oil? 3) Why hasn't the U.S. caught Osama Bin Laden? 4) Why did the bell go off 20 minutes early? 5) Where is Bobby?
