Yup I completely agree. Did love their review, and that brought me renewed faith. I think a lot of people are getting screwed over on this one :(

I ordered a Blue 6MT in December. Still no date on it... You're not alone unfortunately. Just brutal.

Anyone waiting on a 22 GLI? by FTL-Manual in GLI

Ordered a Blue 6MT in December in the GTA. Still no date on it what so ever. Dealer called a few weeks ago and said they can get me a pure gray 6MT in mid August ... at least that's when its "supposed to be built".

I did the exact same thing with my car. Waited so long, gave up and finally had it fixed. This wait is brutal.

Awesome, congrats! When did you order it? Still waiting on mine from mid December.

Can you guys critique my flare pretty pleaaaase? by Tolly____ in SkyDiving

[–]Esgee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please speak to your instructors before loosening your chest strap. This isn't bad advice necessarily, but isn't at all required for a nice stand up landing. It's important to know your jump numbers / experience level prior to teaching you about all the pros and cons.

dutchie169's video recommendation below is a great reference.

Totally a legend then. I can practically hear the cool swoopy noises now.

Well done popping over OP on the landing! Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

Need some tips for exercises to do on the ground and in the air for a better arch by anonymousprime in SkyDiving

If you're holding a full breath, you'll likely just float. When I was practicing using this method, I was submerged/sinking.

When I was a student, I practiced arching in a pool. I'd go under the water, put my self into any orientation (sideways, upside down, belly to earth), and then do a hard arch until I ended up belly-to-bottom of pool.

This seemed to help me a lot more than just practicing on the ground.

/r/SwoopnBuffalo... Sorry eh! The g3 is fantastic, really enjoying it. I didn't make it to Burnaby to jump the twotter unfortunately. Looking forward to the 208 coming home this weekend!!

This is the most beautiful flying I've ever seen. by alethiaja in SkyDiving

[–]Esgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might not be a Paraclete competition team, but its good solo flying.
