Just trust YOURSELF

I sucked for my first 7 jumps, noone could tell what i was doing wrong. One day we drew a smiley face on on the underside of the 182s' wing and i kept that in my sight for as long as possible. It worked a treat, now my exits are fine

When showing tandems how to arch, say 'Now start flapping your arms...that's what you gotta do if the parachute doesn't work'.

I invented this one while, um, drinking beer, last weekend. 'Hi, I have tourettes syndrome. FUCK ME.' sorry haha
-
If you come here, you'll never want to leave!

Stand around with a few buddies and 'try' to pack a tandem rig with some makeshift instructions and puzzled looks while passengers are hanging around
-
These things happen, just call them a good learning experience
-
For the guys, have you ever 'squashed your tackle' skydiving, what happens? Im quite scared of doing this
-
Did 4 jumps today, including a downwind 20m faceplant in dirt that could of been bad, but i've finished AFF now plus I did a fun jump which was great cos' there was no pressure

Welcome! Im moving over to christchurch from australia early next year and discovered this course the other day so thought it could be a great thing to do. What are the costs like?

How about big bales of barbed wire just over the fence that they'll fall onto

Spielbergs Schindlers List (i think it's called something else in some countries..). Very powerful war movie

OK, im 65kgs and 180cms, and thus a really slow faller (my JM's leave their suits open to create drag!). So i've decided to put on general muscle/body mass but dont know the best way to go about doing it, other than eating more and doing free weights. Does anyone have tips or a diet plan i could stick to?
-
Well done
-
Im upto aff7, im buying decent goggles and a helmet this week, alti a bit after that and hopefully my own rig by the end of the year

haha what are you smokin'? Hard doing rel work with someone tumbling out of control though You could attach a simple rig with an aad on him though and see what happens! What would you call him? -
My family swears I'll kill myself if I continue...
Brodes replied to rokitmom's topic in Introductions and Greets
My family is massively proud of me skydiving, it helps a lot! I don't believe skydiving is really all that 'dangerous'. Look after yourself and your gear, dont be stupid and you've got a good chance of still jumping for your 90th birthday -
Oh and so CReW work by myself might look a bit stupid haha
-
In the future without fossil fuels how could we jump
Brodes replied to rickjump1's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Advanced birdsuits that you can flap to get upto altitude then fly back down and land again -
I love canopy more than freefall so far, id love to get into CReW work but i dont think anyone at my dz is into it
-
Welcome
-
Even if you have to repeat, it's still another skydive and you're still jumping out of a plane and landing a canopy. All fun!!
-
DAMN, those credit card offers have been seriously tempting lately Just relax and enjoy your jumping! If you ever doubt yourself then remember why you're doing it and im sure a smile will soon return That tunnel time should be great too! I wish we had one in australia.

My last jump i deep breathed with my eyes closed from takeoff till height. Very relaxing. I think my JM must do it too cos we always have to wake him up before the door opens
