Brumby 0 #1 June 16, 2004 Finally, if completed my AFF course . Done my Level 8 Hop "n" Pop from 5k. From up there it looked more like 500 feet . I originally started off on RAPS but for some reason, when i went up in an SMG on my 5th jump they opened the door @ 3200ft and i froze. From thereon, i refused to get out of the door. After deciding to give it another go by doing AFF.............BOY was it well worth it! All i can say is, if you can afford it, do it.....................

nael 0 #2 June 16, 2004 Congratulations! I finished AFF about a month ago, and the last 3 jumps on it were hop and pops from 5000', 4000' and then 3000'. I thought I'd be scared to get out the door at 3000', but after doing the other 2 just before it was easy. You should go back now and do a hop and pop from 3000' just to prove to yourself you can. Personally I hate knowing there is something that scares me so much I wont do it, so if you're anything like me, you should just do it! Good luck with your jumping!www.TerminalSports.com.auAustralia's largest skydive gear store Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like many AFF grads I hated going out low (like less than 5k!) but in May we took a lift up when there was low cloud and the other guys (all demo qualified) said they would go if we made 1500ft!! I was like WTF?? My Spectre might take that long to open sub terminal!! Anyway, we got 2200ft and I was so relieved that I jumped, pulled when clear and was open in just a few hundred feet. After that, getting out at 2.5-3k doesn't phase me any more!! *************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.
