id say if shes up to it do the first AFF class or a tandem to see if she wants to do it, and i can tell your like my parents only i had to get a 4.0 for a year before i could jump and then it had to be with my money, and if you do that she will learn the value of a dollar real quick like i did

nice videos looks like some good times -
or someone does not know how to do math....

that sounds like the count for lower level AFF, i did that in levels 1-3 but now its more of a solo exit but you still check in then ready, set, go (and go on go) so yeah its like a 1, 2, GO!
-
the only real effect would be the fact that you actually feel the acceleration rather than just going from forward to downward
-
yeah but to have a credit card you need to be 18 and im only 16
-
if you really want to get technical the only difference is the fact that you dont have that 90+ mph foreword momentum and then transitioning to full downward acceleration untill terminal velocity which would really only really be a change of like 30 mph. when you jump from a helo you start at 0 mph or would like to start at 0 mph so when you let go you really feel the 9.8 meters per second per second(yes i did mean to put per second twice) acceleration until you hit terminal velocity at (and im not sure about this as i really dont want to do the math right now) about 600-800 feet past your release point i would say but i could be wrong about that and then the rest is like a normal jump. but it is that first few seconds when you are acelerating that are apparently the best

and i just also realized that i was looking at the time you joined the site and ive also started to use turntables and though im just a beginner if i record it with acid pro and layer things correctly its actually sounds good enough to use on videos -

-
yeah you only have to wait until your 16 like i did and it is a rush cant wait till i get my A license

Copyrighted Music – Staying Ethical, Honest and Legal
TEXX56 replied to AFFI's topic in Photography and Video
nice video and if you didn't know acid pro 7 is out but using programs like acid pro are a good way to not get sued and you make your own music. also im glad i read this thread because before i thought if you just put the "song name-artist" (or vise-verse) you couldn't get sued for copy right. edit: oh wow just realized this is from 2 years ago.
