waltappel 1 #8 May 8, 2006 I always considered the ride up to be the worst part because that's when I had plenty of time to think. The anticipation used to really eat me alive. When we got high enough that I needed to do do something--final gear check, or whatever, I was too focused to be scared. Getting in the door is easy. Exit is easy. It's that ride up that can be the worst, IMO. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JENNR8R 0 #10 May 8, 2006 A few thousand feet before exit start inhaling slowly to the count of three through your nose... and exhaling to the count of six through your mouth... letting all of your muscles relax. It's a relaxation technique that I learned in my deep-water aerobics class that I use on every jump.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

pop 0 #15 May 8, 2006 Also peeing really helps. What I like to do to relax is at about 10K pull it out, stick out of the door and sprinkle the world like I am R Kelly. Any gas saved up in your intestines that begins to expand as you climb higher, go ahead and release that as well at that time. I promise after getting fucked up on drank and weed, and pissinbg and farting you will be set! You will be ready to take nap!!7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have found that 3 or 4 valium 1hr or an hour and a half before the skydive is very calming.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
