Orange1 0 #53 May 16, 2005 QuoteSo, as the title reads, What jump number was the first time you executed a stand up landing? I agree the answers are likely to be skewed towards those who did it early.. for me, #2 (no aid on landing), and i stood up exactly every 2nd jump till jump 8, then most of the rest of them, until i recently downsized off the big student canopies and with a couple of no-wind landings... and so the learning curve continues, as it will for the next 10000 jumps.Skydiving: wasting fossil fuels just for fun.

dan_iv 0 #55 May 16, 2005 Jump #2 first was feet to butt landing, all of my jumps have been standup / running landings except #2 and #21 (yesterday) where the wind did about a 45 degree change when I was about 25-50 feet in the air, which resulted in a crosswind butt skid landing with a pretty rash on my left butt cheek...

maestropaolo 0 #63 May 16, 2005 #15, #18, #27. I think part of the problem is getting so used to doing non-stand up landings that you forget there are some landings where you actually can stand up without botching them. Arse landings are great when landing downwind though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlindBrick 0 #64 May 17, 2005 #63. For about the enxt eighty jumps I was batting around 7% on stand ups. I've got ~15 jumps on my Safire 2 and am batting about 50/50. -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

feuergnom 22 #68 May 17, 2005 # 1 - never had problems wwith landings, but that doesn't mean i have to do a stand up on every landing. if i have to i know how to do a PLF it's more embarrasing to get carried away on a stretcher than walking away with a dirty suit ...The universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle dudeist skydiver # 666 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rav101 0 #69 May 17, 2005 Landed standing up on both my jumps which i did on sunday being my 3rd and 4th jumps, was soo amazingly cool cos the first jump i did i forgot about the whole bringing my canopy down and i got dragged onto my back and on the second i roled cos it was a bit of a hard landing.
