Maintaining Composure During Exit
CrimsonDiver replied to CrimsonDiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
It is probably much more mental than physical. I am just going to have to fight through the fear during the initial drop. Once I get to around 13,000 feet, the stomach drop goes away and I love it! I just need to figure out how to overcome the first 2-3 seconds of panic. -
Maintaining Composure During Exit
CrimsonDiver replied to CrimsonDiver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I have done two tandem jumps and two AFF jumps and the same problem keeps occurring. As soon as I exit the plane, my stomach drops, I lose my composure for a few seconds, and flop around like a fish briefly before I can get a good arch and get stable. The initial drop really rattles my brain and makes it difficult to maintain control, but it goes away pretty quick. Any advice on what I can do to recover my composure faster and maintain a good arch during the first couple of seconds after the exit?
