malooper 0 #1 September 13, 2013 I posted this on Facebook but since the general audience doesn't know anything about skydiving, this video isn't as funny to them so I thought I'd share with you all. Maybe it's just funnier to my instructors and I but I hope you enjoy and get a chuckle or two! I was never coined "graceful" that's for sure! And for the students out there, you can learn from my mistakes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGuTRCI-7DsCourage is the power to let go of the familiar. -Raymond Lindquist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DcloudZ 0 #2 September 13, 2013 HAHAHA thank youyou're exit was very nice! but you're attempted back flip (I think?) was hilarious!!! You'll want to give yourself more momentum next time, pull your legs in to your chest and bring your arms in across your chest as you through your head back (your body will follow) all that in one fluid motion.

malooper 0 #4 September 14, 2013 Haha, thanks for the advice! Yeah it was supposed to be a back flip! I kept thinking "I'm supposed to do something else…." then I remembered a bit late the legs part! I'm really looking forward to another try at it. It was so much fun and now that I know that I can get stable after becoming unstable I feel way more confident (which I was lacking a lot of before). Maybe tomorrow after I pass my level 7!! Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. -Raymond Lindquist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malooper 0 #5 September 14, 2013 Haha, yes, by far the best part of the video! One of my instructors want to give me the nickname "dolphin" for that very pose! Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. -Raymond Lindquist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
