  1. Im in on this one. Im lookin to buy one too. Poetry don't work on whores.
  2. Today I had a pretty decent line twist and found that when I started to kick, I could only kick in the direction that I DIDNT want to go. The canopy then started to dive and spin a little and so I stopped kicking and it was ok. I found it hard to pull the risers apart so I tried something different by grabbing the risers with the opposite hands and it seemed to work great and got the twists out pretty fast.

  3. You suck. I paid about 2k for all my AFF levels (including one repeat) and while it wasnt the cheapest, I do feel I learned a whole lot with it. And I agree completely with Scatter on the fact that if I hadnt prepaid I probably wouldnt have come this far so fast or even at all. Sometimes if you can barely afford it I think getting that out of the way can be the better way. I bet you can find free meals a whole lot easier than you can find free jump courses.

    What she said. And sometimes I use those whitening strips. They work well. Poetry don't work on whores.
  5. When I was in AFF I couldnt wait to jump by myself. Now that Im on solo status Im sick of jumping by myself and want to jump with others desperately. Im sure you'll go through this too. Poetry don't work on whores.
  6. Im planning on going. It will be my first boogie. :) Poetry don't work on whores.
  7. I have small hooters and I still got a free packing course. I see what davelepka is saying though. Expecting things for free is just plain wrong. I wouldve gladly paid my friend for the packing class and I would gladly pay 5 bucks for a closing loop. This sport is basically about saving your life and IMHO you cant put a price on your life. Thats just how I see it. Poetry don't work on whores.
  8. I dont know if this couldve been a factor in your failed attempt but I know that the reason I failed my lvl 3 was because I wasnt focused enough. I was having fun goofing around in the plane and it cost me. My most fun plane ride was my worst jump. Id recommend going over the skydive in your head numerous times and try not to pay too much attention to anything/one else (except your instructor of course). My problem was my AA so on the plane ride up, I practiced a lot by looking at my alti every 5-10 seconds. It really helped too. Dont forget to relax too. Best of luck, I know you'll do fine. ;) Poetry don't work on whores.
  9. What he said. Im going tomorrow instead. Poetry don't work on whores.
  10. Coming from someone with the username "Broke" I found this quite hillarious. Poetry don't work on whores.
  11. I had to repeat level 3 cause i lost altitude awareness. Poetry don't work on whores.
  12. But I wouldnt recommend telling them you skydive unless its absolutely necessary. When I broke my hand, I told the ER that I just smacked it on a pole but I didnt tell them it was because I was skydiving. Im too paranoid that my insurance company will try to say Im not covered because of that. Poetry don't work on whores.
  13. I'd look that way if I had to jump with Jimmy too...... Poetry don't work on whores.
  14. I dont complain about the costs of skydiving. but I do kinda get a little bummed out when I get the feeling that dzs are trying to squeeze more money than normal out of me. Instead of taking an 80 dollar packing class, a friend offered to teach me as long as I got him dinner. Then I offered another friend to pack his rig for free for a day just so I could get more practice in. What sucks is when the dz tries to interfere with this bartering, hassling me to do it their way even though I feel that paying them 80 bucks isnt the only way to learn. Poetry don't work on whores.
  15. I did levels 1-8 with one repeat for about 1950USD. That included only the uspa membership. No videos. Now that Im on solo, its time to do coach jumps but the DZ wont let me jump with just any coach, it has to be one of their instructors and they charge $99 per coach jump. Pity cause I have a coach friend who was willing to coach me for free. Poetry don't work on whores.
  16. Chug some dayquil? *shrug* Poetry don't work on whores.
  17. I was taught to look red, grab red, look silver, pull red, grab silver, pull silver, arch. (grabbing with both hands) Poetry don't work on whores.
  18. I had my first "oh shit" moment at jump 14 when I broke my hand on the flagpole in mid flare. 5 days later I got rear ended by a semi truck and my car was totalled. So as a result of this I came to the conclusion that driving is more dangerous than skydiving. At least with jumping, I know that if I die theres a high chance it will be from my own faults rather than someone elses. Poetry don't work on whores.
  19. I have 19 jumps and Ive got a halfway decent sit. *shrug* Poetry don't work on whores.
  20. You actually look pretty calm! Granted - not anywhere near as calm as the guy behind you looks (is he awake? or maybe the pic just got him mid-blink?) - but you don't look too scared. Were you freaking out on the inside though? And was it pure terror when you were in the door? Oh trust me my heart was doing somersalts. Sheer terror while taking those steps to the door but I just reminded myself that everything is fine because the instructor knows what he's doing and Im just here along for the ride. 2 seconds later...in freefall...I told myself "hey this isnt THAT scary!" What I recommend to you is to try not to think too much. The more you think, the more you scare yourself. Just relax and enjoy the plane ride and before you know it, youre done with AFF and doing jumps on your own Poetry don't work on whores.
  21. Heres a pic of my deer in headlights face right before my tandem. Fear happens even to the best of people. Poetry don't work on whores.

    I tried my first sit at jump 16 and had no problems. Just tucked in my left arm and went straight to the back and then went to my 90s. I feel pretty confident in my belly (though I admit Im not perfect). But I know how to get stable if something goes wrong. I just get bored of doing belly solos. *shrug* The way I look at it, why not give it a shot as long as you know how to get stable and dont lose AA. Poetry don't work on whores.
  24. Yesterday I jumped in cargo pants and a spandex long sleeved shirt. While in sit, the pants flew up to the knees and started flapping but it was no big deal and didnt affect my jump. What did was the excess legstrap that came unstowed and smacked my lower back. Poetry don't work on whores.
