Coat. 0 #52 October 23, 2014 Haha, not a fail, but just have to redo. My exit's on both were kinda sloppy and rushed. Need to relax and flow with the experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Landed alive = not fail Screw up exit = room for improvement I wont get to a DZ until next summer... am going to actually start over from step one since its been so long. Glad to see you guys hammering out jumps! I think I have to start earlier than August in order to get enough time in. I only did 7 jumps in 3 months :\You are not the contents of your wallet.

Coat. 0 #54 November 6, 2014 Haven't jumped in a fortnight, because of an off-weekend and due to winds. Just tiring getting up there every single weekend. I might just let this one breeze. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they always tell you to relax. My position was "I'm about to jump out of an airplane and I'm NOT GOING TO RELAX!" Heh heh heh. Just relax, it'll be FUN!I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coat. 0 #60 December 28, 2014 I haven't jumped in 4 months. I didn't even realise how quick those months flew by. I'd been working on my end of year assessments for school and got caught up with it. I'm just really concerned know whether to return or not, now. I was on stage 9, and had attempted it twice with no pass. They told me to do a few fun jumps before trying it again, but 4 months have passed. Would I be expected to repeat stages again? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should call the DZ you were training at or plan to jump at and talk to them about it. At 4 months out of currency, they're going to need to make sure you can still jump safely. If I were not current for 4 months, I'd need a check-out jump too, and I'm licensed. I don't think it'd be that much of a hassle to get the ball rolling again, though. Not worth quitting the sport over, if you enjoy it.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coat. 0 #62 January 22, 2015 Did a little more tunnel time. Getting assessed by the DZSO this weekend and hopefully I'll be able to do a jump with an instructor before attempting the h&p again. Feeling quite confident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
