maybe even alcohol made them start the argument? next time he gets stupidly drunk,he will hit her again since he 'saw' he could get away with it

yeah!!! but we live in the same city

i was wondering why is a static line done from 3000 ft or so (at least the first few jumps)... isn't it logical that in case u need to cutaway woudn't it be nicer if u were a bit higher just to give u a bit more reaction time??
-
no, no luck with that site... i tried that one before but thanks :)

i had really bad line twists all the way to my neck on my last aff jump and yeah- it was scary!!! they started untwisting pretty quickly without kicking them out... if they did not i think i would have cut away... what i was thinking at that time was what if it get them as bad as this on my reserve...(unstable body position again) i will be lower than i am now with the same problem.... so God helped me i guess :)

"What tha hell am i doing?!?!?" is exactely what i tought when i refused to jump. i'm not sure if i am over excited about the weekend or scared or a mixture of the feelings!! :) i know i was thinking of my last flat spin? or whatever it's called... and the instructor somehow not being able to do anything... then getting completely lost- not sure how tough.. pulling low and not being able to finish flaring while landing downwind :) :) :) i do like action movies!!!!
-
hello everyone, anyone getting scared apart from me??? didn't have any jumps for something like 2 months now and i took all the weekend of work so i can spend it at the dz and already freaking out!!! last time i had to redo my aff 4 i chikened out in the plane... yeah...it was really bad... hope noone remembers me also it's getting really cold and it's gonna make it even worse!!! anyhow... will tell my instructor to kick me out if i come up with an excuse this time.... so i didn't took off my weekend off for nothing....

sounds like i'm jumping with no instructors around me... he he funny but that's what i tought as well :) when i was spinning and had no idea how to fix it after a few attempts all i did is i watched my instructor(when he was in front of me... and that was 100 times in a second, ha ha ha) trying to catch me... he looked worried but i was hopeless . . . . . so i pulled at 6000, not 4000.. i never really told him why i did it (and it was to make his life a bit easier) can;t finish flare because i guess i need to build up a little my arms

Hello everyone... could anybody answer me some of my questions?? thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! :) -how many height do u lose on opening of a student parachute?? like how long does it take to open approximately? what does it depends on? packing? -what is the real minimum height for cutaway that will put u back to Earth-alive? where about is 'the boundary' where u should try and land a chute with a broken line or something... - i have a bit of trouble with completing the flare and i believe a bit of wind helps a lot with landing.... is there any tricks for landing in no wind? :) -for downwind or crosswind landing.... do u always have to PLF? -being on aff level 4 i must say that i rely A LOT on my radio and instructor for landing and stuff... if u had to do it on my own i guess i would be shit scared... but if everyone learned hope i would learn that one soon too -also.... how do u stop an unintentional spin in freefall? i tried my best but i couldn't ? :( i know i have too many questions.... but thanks a lot to everyone on advice :) cheers!
