Did your instructor review your back flips on video...?
I was wondering if he told you how to stop the flipping when you come out of the first rotation.....looks like some pretty agressive back flips.
Back in the day...I did some unintentnional back flips on my first 10 second delays merely by stretching both arms forward when I setteled into my arch face to earth.......holding the hard arch, the flip stopped in one rotation to allow me to pull in the correct body position.
@ebon123 Yeah its hard.... at first. I am on jump #7.... and it feels more natural and easy to keep stable but it still makes me sore by the time i land. I feel like i should take some yoga classes :D
His gear does make me laugh. I see main flap open on every jump and a couple times the riser covers were just flappin around. Ghetto gear but he does get down safe :) I like the rip cord too instead of BOC.
There are 3 ways your first tunr can go, Fast, slow or perfect. Noone makes a perfect turn the first time. I m glad my turn was a bit slow, so that I could increase the speed step by step. If you make a fast turn like this unlucky dude, it could cost you your life...
the instructor should be reprimanded!! on almost all of your jumps your pin covers have been undone, this is the most basic check and goes to show that the rig was not checked or adjusted.
You're the worst AFF student I've ever seen. You look like you're going to shit your pants every jump. RELAX...... What are you doing skydiving if you're that scared anyway?
gimme anyone willing to jump out of a plane willingly with nothing but fabric to save you from a 120 mph crash to the ground and i give you someone who is not scared of a lot of things...
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
COOL - we all been there. Arch hard. Ya know, I'd be more concerned about your rig - wat's up with that closing flap? LOL - (with same issue on my Vector, I use duct tape - 'til I can afford a G3!)
ROFLMAO - I close my rig with a pin! :) I use duct/"Gription" tape on the tuck tab of the cover over my pin/bridle. (Based on review with my coach of the video I have up on youtube. the ENTIRE video, not just what's on youtube. Going from a sit, to back, then to belly / track, I see this flap comes loose.) I don't want my pin (OR BRIDLE) exposed, so gription tape on the tuck tab prevents that.
Doggone it! I'm about to take my "Fourth Flight" Saturday, and I've still got major butterflies to deal with. But I guess you can't have the high without the apprehension, so help me! And I'm going tandem again! How many jumps does it take before I can get on that plane, be ok with the constant rocking and maneuvering of the plane, and then approach the exit without being so mother-flippin' scared??? Right now I'm just trying to apply Law of Attraction and thinking of calm things and music.
I'm not going to lie, that was funny :) Guess you put this up for ppl to smile at. But I gotta' hand it to you for not giving up and getting your shit together. Gratz for that.
And I've seen your other videos so I guess you finished the course and now rock the skies with sitfly and headdown :)
I'm on stage 5 at the moment and have failed it twice. I find it quite odd though I have gone from exiting the plane with 2 instructors to exiting on my own with an instructor following, talk about going from the paddling pool to the deep end.
I had a hard time learning how to stop an unwanted spinning. First I spent too much time fighting with the air which ended in a low pull. Later I pulled too high a couple of times because of panic. If you start spinning and really can't stop it then it's best to pull. You may have line twists but that's all. Spinning and not doing anything may cause severe injuries.
With time and practice you learn how to relax and fly smoothly. And that's a great feeling :-)
It all starts to come together at the end, I found it easier learning from a bigger twin engined plane as you get smoother exits from higher altitudes which means more time to practice.
Hope you are still jumping but im sure you are as it gets in the blood :)
no, I did aff in 7 jumps, 1 jump for each level a while ago. If you fall all you need to do is arch you back, the angle of your knees should be around 45° (yours are more like 90°) that's important, your position of your arms seem to look OK, and don't look down when you pull the pilot chute (look at the horizon), your body position tend to tilt forward making your opening feel a bit harder. Keep both your shoulders level or you will turn around in circles.
I was a bit sarcastic but that is actually good advice. I posted this video mainly for giggles but also to show that starting out can be tough but once you get it you get it. take care
@PdsD27641 Thanks for posting this video, I had kind of a whacky AFF too. This just goes to show you that students can have a hard time starting out but just stick with us and we'll do fine. You jump masters are great.
There's probably a word which your instructor said to you alot but obviously did not filter in: arch, arch, arch, arch.....and arch!!!! Very unstable, very bad position, I hope your not thinking of doing freefly in the future, you can forget about RW too if don't get ALOT better.
Btw, who did your packing job? the flap of your BOC was loose exposing the pin.
Some people should really stick to golf.
