...me if you can. The dance follows four flight attendants heading off to work, and conveying different roles of people found in an airport, e.g. Pilots, Famous people, Business people and different places they get to travel to. The narrative, is enhanced through different characterisation of the people flight attendants encounter during their life on board the “Jet Set”. A motif that is used throughout my piece is arms out in a diagonal, this was manipulated throughout moving around representing a traveling jet, as well as in a tight formation of the four girls, conveying boarding the jet, before turning which showed taking off. A line in the music ‘where they treat their woman right’ was complemented with the movement where I grabbed Becky’s bags and we turned around, before kneeling on the ground so she could sit upon my knee. This movement displayed how a man was treating her wife like a lady and turning showed the chaos of an airport. This was matched with Kate Jumping into Cass’s arm and fan kicking out, supporting the line ‘stars live out in broad day light’ the big gesture of a fan kick helps to express her as a star and an over the top character who requires people to be doing jobs for her 24/7 typical of someone in Hollywood. Another movement component that enhanced the choreographic intent was when Cass and Kate held hands and jumped over Becky and I, this helped to convey how busy airports are and the jump matched with holding hands and a smile on their face showed the...

...fun but dangerous if the jumper is not careful. Bungee jumping originated in the Pentecost Islands in the New Hebrides where men of a native tribe proved their manhood and to ensure a good yam harvest by jumping off a bamboo tower, which was 25 meters high, with a vine tied to their feet. The more modern bungee jumping originated in New Zealand in the late 80s, when jumpers used a rubber rope. This began in April 1979 when four people bungee jumped off the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England, but bungee jumping became famous by A.J. Hackett, who jumped from the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. His jump was on TV channels all over the world. As a result, became popular France, and eventually spread to other European countries, and is now a worldwide sport. It is also said that it originated from New Guinea. Men leaped from very tall wooden towers attached to the tower by vines tied to their ankles, it was originally used as a test of courage but has since been converted into a recreational activity and is seen to be a once in a lifetime thrilling experience. The sport is simple yet exciting; jumping from a tall platform i.e. a bridge or a crane whilst attached to a length of elastic chord. A lot of calculations must be done before a bungee jump to ensure the safety of the jumper. The chord must be exactly the right length to give the best (yet safest) possible experience. If the chord is too short the jumper may not feel the optimum thrill however if the chord...

...I remember the day I broke my first bone, well I don’t really remember it, but this is what happened. My parents one summer when I was a kid bought my brother and I a trampoline, we quickly assembled it so we could jump on it, but there was a spring missing on one of the sides of it, my parents refused to let us on it, later in the evening they went to the grocery store where my brother and I went out back and started jumping on it, it held up perfectly, so we thought. After ten minutes or so we wanted to take it to a higher extreme, we scooted the trampoline next to our house and my brother dared me to jumped off the roof onto the giant black hole, I wasn’t one to turn down a challenge. As I climbed up the tree, the bark was so rough it scratched my hands, as my feet fitted into the coarse bark like climbing up a ladder without looking down. I walked carefully to the edge of the house and looking down I yelled at my brother “Will! This is really, really high! What if I bounce off it?” William responded “Quit being a baby and jump already!” I jumped, as I felt my feet land on the rubber like surface, my legs gave way until it went from a jump to a body slam into it, I bounced off the trampoline onto the ground where I used my arms to catch my body from flipping, but instead I landed on my arm in the most awkward way, I heard a small crack and instantly felt lightheaded, I could hear my brother’s voice from a small distance away but couldn’t quite make out the words. I...

...I. Overview and Title Seeing the World from a Different Point of View This essay shows my life experience of skydiving. I show that skydiving was definitely not something I ever pictured myself doing. But after I received a ticket as a gift I knew that it was for me. After two times of bad weather we were finally able to jump from the airplane. This was definitely one of the best experiences of my life, and I will never forget about it. II. Synthesis of research III. Essay Freefalling about 7,000 feet from an airplane is not many people’s idea of fun. Most people would rather be secured to the ground looking up at the people jumping from airplanes. Now let me say something first -I am afraid of heights. I will not even climb up a ladder unless someone is holding me and the ladder! I love rollercoaster’s, but I must be strongly secured in the coaster. When I first received my ticket to go skydiving, I was not very sure if it was going to be the thing for me. Jumping from an airplane was not something that I ever saw myself doing before. Yes, I had been flying before, but I was secured in a seat, barely even looking out the window. I always wondered why people jumped from airplanes. Is it the rush they get, or do they just do it for a job? Skydiving is definitely one of the most incredible things anyone could get to experience because of the feeling of freedom that comes with falling from the heavens. Before I had even planned on jumping out of an airplane...

...there, we waited thirty minutes for the bus to arrive. Standing in the heat felt like we were in an oven, so we tried to stay in our cars as much as possible to keep cool. Finally the buss got to our location and we loaded everything onto it. It took all six of us to carry the floats, coolers, bags of food, and our towels. As soon as we got settled on the bus we started talking about how excited we were about the float trip. So many people were talking at once that you could barely hear the person sitting next to you. It took us a good ten minutes to get to our take off spot. Trust me, ten minutes of bouncing up and down because the bus is driving down a gravel road and trying to hold all of your things at the same time becomes quite difficult. As we got off the bus, we unloaded everything and then reloaded it onto the raft. Things started to get more and more difficult to grab hold of because of the sweat dripping off our bodies. After we got everything loaded onto the raft, we started our float. As we drifted down the river, we passed some interesting sights such as cows and a deer skull. I remember relaxing in between Tommy’s legs while he rowed the raft. I felt relieved knowing I had him there to keep me safe. I...

...Horse Breeds Business Advertising Private Advertising costs Team Caldene rider Ellen Whitaker explains the importance of approaching a course of show jumps safely and correctly Monday 18 May 2009 Riding A Show Jumping Course Jumping a course of fences is all about putting into practice the hours spent schooling on the flat and pole work. They should all start to come into play now. The next step is to tackle a course of small fences. Your confidence here is vital, if you are not fully in control and committed to jumping you will be sending mixed signals to your horse and he will not do what you are trying to ask him to do. It is only when you are sure in your own mind and your horse is ready that it is time to tackle a course. Jumping a few small courses at home is a must if you plan to take your horse to a competition, not only because you are getting him used to it but also that you are not surrounded by the public which could put you and your horse off. Taking your horse round a course of fences at home also means that you will be able to go at your own pace, jumping what you want to jump rather than attempting a fence from a less than satisfactory approach. Remember when jumping a small course that a horse usually jumps a fence in a manner largely influenced by what happened at the previous one, so it is likely that if he makes a bad job at one fence he...

... The rope pulled the boy into the water. Roddy jumped into the ocean to retrieve the boy. Debra frantically tried to contact her Uncle a short distance away for help by using the CB radio but was unsuccessful due to private marine crafts using the channels for personal use. Roddy was able to find and bring his son above water. They came to the surface once but the strong undercurrent that day dragged them back under. Both father and son lost their lives that day. Roderick’s actions that day epitomized courage in the way that he instantly jumped into the ocean after his son without a second thought to his own well being. He did not stop beforehand to rationally work out the possible repercussions of what would happen if he did or did not jump in. It took courage to leap into the ocean not knowing whether he would return to his daughter who remained on the boat or the wife and infant daughter he left at home. He leapt with a singular driving force and that...

...practice. As I stood on the runway for the first time that practice, I knew I was going to be really bad. I was really nervous for the outcome because I wanted to succeed. I began to sprint down the runway, I planted my pole into the pit and remembered what they said about being at the top. I realized I didn’t have the upper body strength to get me to that point. I didn’t even clear opening height which is five feet. I knew I was going to hate this. First attempt. I lifted my head up. My eyes were drawn to the pit. The bar was lying calmly at seven feet six inches. I take a few deep breaths and a jump in the air. I then stand still. I slowly lift my pole up in the air and take one more deep breath before I start my first attempt. Before I knew it, I was sprinting down the runway. I counted my steps in my head to make sure they weren’t off. I then tilted my pole down into the pit and was lifted off the ground. It was fast. I was at the peak of my attempt and felt my arm hit the bar from underneath me. I fell on the mats and looked up to see if I cleared it. I didn’t. I had two more attempts. Getting back on the runway after my previous try at it, I was embarrassed. Mr. Hall told me to correct small parts of my form and telling me to get to the top before rotating. He was ensuring that I would be better the second time. I tried it out again, and still didn’t clear it. My first meet was really hard for me. I couldn’t clear opening height, which was five feet again. I tried really hard...
