After watching this video it just amazes me!!!!!!!!!

Student looks at his alti at the top half of the jump and the second half never looks. The video guy has audibles and doesn't even hear them.
Never give the gates up and always trust your rears!

Wow!
That is truly unbelievable.
The student has a terrible 'arch' or lack of and seems to be in dreamland after the first say 5k altitude awareness wise.
The instructor didnt look like he had a cyprus? or a two out (if he did deploy). It looked like a main canopy he landed on?

I dont know why but I can only think this is in Russia [:/] (from what people I know and trust have told me about SOME (not all) Russian DZs

Thanks could never figure that out on here



All you need to do, is look under the posting box where you type the text.
And you will see some buttons.
Click the URL button and you get this
{url} except it will have [ ] instead of { }
now put your url in the middle of them and then click the URL button again {/url}

That will make your URL clicky. Same goes for using the QUOTE button - to quote another users phrase or statement etc do the same as above but use the Quote button before and after the text

That's the surprising thing. It isn't as if he seems preoccupied with stability or practicing backloops. He seems to look forward and down, doing nothing until an unhurried waveoff and pull!

The difference being Steve that i was none the wiser, i can admit i was retarded and wrong.

I had zero knowledge, would be different if i done it after a few jumps and had knowledge.

But the first thing you learn as a student is altitude awarness, let alone an up jumper.

People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

I have dispatched more than 2000 students in my life as an instructor and as I use to say, I got one new grey hair per student dispatched. You never know what a student has in store for you and the fact that the student performs well on the ground is not necessarily an indicator for his/her performance in the air. Very nervous students should be told not to drink coffee or smocking cigarettes prior jumping. That can help them to relax and improve their performances. Being an instructor is a hard job but somebody has to do it.
Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all.
