10. The Wa-hey<\/strong><\/h3>\n

That moment when you\u2019re about to land and your instructor is all calm and your still screaming with your eyes closed not knowing you\u2019ve touched down.<\/p>\n

The moment when you\u2019re feeling all confident and trying to do some crazy tandem move and your partner bails at the last minute<\/p>\n

8. The We Weren\u2019t Ready Yet!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

That moment when you\u2019re pushed out the plane and you weren\u2019t quite ready \u2013 and your mate isn\u2019t too happy about it either!<\/p>\n

7. You’re not coming in son<\/strong><\/h3>\n

5. The Toddler<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Somehow when balance and grace is required, you revert back to your two year old self.<\/p>\n

3. The Try Hard<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s always one, who thinks they\u2019ll show the rest of us plebs how it\u2019s done\u2026 then you stand back and watch in glee as their composure and arrogance falls apart!!<\/p>\n

2. The Pancake<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is simply known as the pancake \u2013 it might be flat but it\u2019s definitely NOT a smooth landing<\/p>\n
