Girlfalldown 0 #27 May 12, 2004 Hey Skye, if you want a good laugh let Garreth tell you the story of how he was trained. It'll make AFF seem like a cake walk. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brits17 0 #28 May 13, 2004 QuoteI passed my 7 jump AFF course in 8 jumps. I found out when my instructors released me on level 3 just how stable they were keeping me. Apparently, I felt they didn't allow me to do enough 360's so when they released me on level 3, I decided 360's were the way to go. LOL!!! Couldn't have said it better myself. Ditto. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually ask the other instructor what level it is just after we both climb out. If there isn't another instructor, I just let the student go and figure out what level it's supposed to be from what the student does. (>o|-< If you don't believe me, ask me.

I did 3 tandems. I couldn't turn when doing the tandems so they had me start AFF at level 2 instead of level 4. So I did 3 tandems, level 2, level 3, they let me skip level 4, did level 5 four times because I would just turn really really slowly in circles and not stop myself, level 6 and level 7. That's 11 jumps right there. I'm happy had the few extra jumps in there. I know I needed them. I felt much better about my abilities after that.I'm so funny I crack my head open!
