    Dale, Keep it up. It is amazing to see you skydiving and very inspirational. As for your question about instability I have a few comments. 1. The head position that everyone else mentioned is true. Keep that chin up. 2. It appears from the videos that you are "chipping". Chipping happens from tension in the upper body. Try relaxing your arms some. I see that your profile says you have 50 jumps now so you might have already figured this out. 3. Stretch those hip flexors too. That will be a big help. There is something that concerns me greatly about your leg straps though. What holds you in your harness if you do go on your back. I mean what would keep you from falling out of your harness butt first if you do not have control of your legs? There is a modification that can be made to your gear the will eliminate that possibility. I only say something because that exact thing has happened here in the US. Anyway all this is just my opinion. Be safe and have fun. Blues, kathleen

    Interesting note to this conversation. I just completed the coach rating course and the instructor told me that USPA is looking at counting tunnel time as freefall time for the requirements to take the AFF rating. I am sure that tunnel vs. actually freefall is another debate. However, with this in mind maybe we should log tunnel time????? What do you all think?

    myself and my friend Whitney. Either the second or third week in April for 3 nights. Do you know of a good place? We work for Delta and are flexible on travel times because we just use our flight pass and go.

    The Alamo deal is nation wide.
  12. KathleenL
    BTW Alamo has rent a cars for $10 a day yes ten dollars a day on weekends starting on Thursday night and must be returned on Sunday evening. You have to pick up and drop off at the same location. So anyone flying to ATL check out Alamo on the web for this special.

    Anthony and I want one. You know Lee did video for me when Big Steve took me on my first skydive. I miss his loudness.

    BINGO! As I see it most of the financial problems right now stemmed from deregulation.

    What you say sounds like a normal reaction to putting your life in danger. If anyone here says that they were never scared then I call BS on them. I will be the first to admit that I was very scared for the first year I jumped. Especially because I saw two people (highly experienced jumpers) go in right in front of me when I only had 11 jumps. It took all that I had to go back up in the plane the next day with my coach. I also knew that if I did not go then I would never jump again. Popsjumper is right on with his post. Complacency will kill you fast. I hope you always have the pit of your stomach feeling. However, you will find that as your confidence builds the feeling is not as bad.

    Does anyone have an idea for Anthony and Kathleen for the costume party?

    I heard that their attorneys have frozen their assest due to them not paying attorney fees for the Skydive Arizona case. Is this true?

    Thanks for fixing the clicky.
