buba07 0 #1 September 19, 2008 Hi, Its 2 months since I finished my AFF at Level 8. I was full of confidence after completing AFF however given this gap i'm now a bit nervous. In fact more than a bit! Any advice? Jumping tomoz.Thanks Freefallphil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielcroft 2 #2 September 19, 2008 I did the same thing. I got my L8 at the end of '07 & came back with my solo in '08. I did a recurrency course and then jumped with a coach. I discussed that with my instructor who was ok with that. Remember, you're likely to be rusty so err on the side of caution. Enjoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buba07 0 #3 September 19, 2008 Cheers Daniel, I was on such a high after my Hop n Pop but then ever since we have weddings, stag dos etc etc. If we haven't had anything on then the weather has been poor. Last weekend it was good weather and I just wasn't up for it? Tomoz i'm just going to get up there, name on the board and get the first jump done. Just need to arch right?!Thanks Freefallphil.

danielcroft 2 #4 September 19, 2008 Don't forget to pull mate, that's kind of important too. I have a friend who basically missed all of 2007 riding season because he had weddings just about ever other weekend, it was retarded. When I did my L9 I tracked too long & went low (only to 4k but still low for a student) and we ended up landing out. Stood up my landing which was cool but the overload was there & that caused me to count too long in my track. I'm sure you'll have a blast! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buba07 0 #5 September 19, 2008 Cheers Dan, Let you know how it goes tomoz. Think i'm going to just get out and do some turns on first jump. Should be nice not having a long list of things to do. Cheers for the advice.Thanks Freefallphil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #6 September 19, 2008 What's a "tomoz"? Is that plural for "tomato"? And why would you jump onto tomatoes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
