Erroll 49 #27 November 12, 2003 My first freefall was lucky number 13 (within 10 minutes of my last DRCP) Quote my 10 second delays...I think I did 6 of those alone Same here. I then decided to do AFF and never looked back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiverRick 0 #28 November 12, 2003 My first jump was a solo jump from 3300'. Nine seconds of freefall. never pull low......unless you are Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut 0 #29 November 12, 2003 did 8 s/l jumps before my first clear and pull... got into the same day rule for the last prcp and first clear and pull.. and switching dz's didn't help either.. ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluefingers 0 #31 November 12, 2003 I did my first 3 sec delay on jump nr 13 ... it went pearshaped from there. Off the rope. On the rope. Off the rope. On the rope. In total: 22 static lines (including the drcps) 6 x 3sec 3 x 5sec 3 x 10sec 5 x 15 sec (can you say spin??) Once I got the 15 sec right, it's been happy flying since then Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikemc 0 #34 November 12, 2003 I did one.....then a year later did an AFF course! only took me that cos i broke bones in foot from a motorcycle accident. doh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
velo90 0 #35 November 12, 2003 QuoteI hold the record here in Colorado for most S/L jumps before being able to move on to Freefall. That would be lucky number 13. 13 jumps is nuffin, I know a number of people that have had way over 20. I think they sorta got hooked (pun intended) on the static line did not want to risk freefall. So to make sure freefall was not an option they probaly deliberately did a bad exit so they would not progress Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dberat 0 #36 November 12, 2003 The firs time, I did 11 static line jumps before free-fall. I stopped 7 years Then I did 4 static line jumps before free-fall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Yoshi 0 #41 November 12, 2003 I took the s/l progression and did 6 s/l before doing my "clear and pull" which was about a 15-20 second delay (from 5500 feet). I did my first jump s/l and took a year off to travel europe, then when I came back I started the s/l program which included 5 s/l...the first 2 were "normal" and the next 3 were drcp's (dummy ripcord pulls) or sometimes call prcp's (practice ripcord pulls). yoshi_________________________________________ this space for rent.

Having to do as many S/L jumps that I did, I feel it helps me with teaching "problem" students.
