airdvr 203 #77 January 5, 2008 Look, grab, protect, pull, punch From my FJC "The first thing to know is you're going to land. The question is how fast will you be going." Edited to add: The skydiver's prayer...Please Lord, don't let it be me who FUCKS UP. In regards to flying a plane..."If you want to go up you pull the yoke back. If you want to go down, pull back further."Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimjumper 25 #78 January 5, 2008 Once you get the grip, don't let go--No matter what happens!! The most important rule. Don't scare the instructor!! If you can't see the spot make a correction in each direction and call the Cut. Don't bother to cutaway anything better than a baglock.

Baksteen 84 #87 January 5, 2008 I got quoted! Yesssss! * Freeflyer about bellyflying: "Anxiously remaining ready to pull from exit on" * Bellyflyer about freeflying: A total lack of stability and calling it a discipline * Surely I'll reach the ground * La culture c'est come un parachute - te te n'as pas, tu t' ecrais (sp?) (Culture/good manners) are like a parachute - Y'aint got it, you (crash / STFU) * Most skydiving injuries occur during the landing. (well, they would, wouldn't they? Landing a baglock just can't be healthy..)"That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

upndownshop 0 #94 January 6, 2008 Quote "If you show the pilot your boobs, we'll get more altitude." You know there was a problem when we lost altitude....uggh oh here is one for EP's....... Due to the procedure changing from the 60's to the 90"s when I finally got back in for good, I could never remember the correct order or which handles. I now it sounds silly today, but go back to shot and 1/2's, belly mounts that I always played with as a kid....It really wasnt that easy for me when it became 'standard" as it is today. So: "Right Now! Left Last!" of course muscle memory has a bigger play now than it did when I came up with it but...... I have taught that to a few who have come back and told me that it worked for them. Now, some day I am sure I will get to use it for real... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
