kris12 0 #2 February 6, 2004 Everyone says it, but it's the truth: Relax! Whenever I was relaxed my AFF jumps went much better. Good luck to you and have a great time!! kristen swooo #3 MB #3587 P.M.S. #66 "so let go, jump in...what're you waiting for? it's all right 'cause there's beauty in the breakdown" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adamUK 3 #3 February 6, 2004 Where are you doing your AFF? Empuria? I second the relax thing. I found it much easier once I had learnt to relax (tunnel time helped too!!) Ad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tilly 0 #10 February 6, 2004 Buy a suitcase big enough to put me in it! Yeah - lots of smiling and lots of relaxing - you'll probably have a dead sexy instructor, so smilings not a problem! (but then I always did like the dark floppy hair look - too much magic roundabout as a kid or something!) Oh and try not to laugh at him/her if they do give you the relax signal! Have fun!!!

lolliUK 0 #11 February 7, 2004 Its with a company called skydive spain http://www.skydivespain.com/ just looking around on the net and came across it really..... I'll let you know how I get on!!!

lolliUK 0 #12 February 7, 2004 yes the magic roundabout was good, did you ever see chortle and the wheelies, and how about jamie and the magic torch.... they dont make kids programmes like they used to! hey ho... its silly really, but im always one of those people who ends up **cking the simplest thing up - especially when im nervous, like spilling wine on a really hot date, or tripping over when i catch someones eye in the street...!!!!! i have this horrible feeling im gonna completely embarass myself!!!!! but i know what you mean about the floppy hair... and a bit of designer stubble is good too!
