I managed to stop my spinning after a few attempts by learning to lock my legs outwardly and spread my legs more. I dont think it was the sock technique. Or maybe it was?

it is much better now. I kinda learned to lock my legs for now which is not ideal but solved the spinning problem.

Yes, but I didn't notice much difference with taking one sock off.

why just one? Which part of "I can tell you all about it, but you will see." don't you understand? LOL ok, I will try it tonight. I'm pretty sure that he meant on your next jump or time in the tunnel, although if you want to wear only one sock on a regular basis that is up to you Yeh I know, I was planning to go to the tunnel that night.

Hi, Does anyone know contact information for a skydiving coach that works in iFly SFBay Area (union city)? I did 15 min with a coach on Monday, and now I am looking to do another 15 min on Friday or thursday. (My first coach is not available for the rest of this week). It would be great if anybody knows a coach there. thanks

A lot of good advice. thanks everyone

Hello Everyone, So I am an AFF student. Last night I went to tunnel to practice flying and to brush up my skills. In tunnel, I found out (well I kinda was told before by my AFF instructor) that my biggest problem is my legs. Apparently I keep moving my legs a lot and kicking them like a mad man. My instructor was keep telling me to RELAX and just stop moving my legs but my problem is that I have absolutely zero awareness of my leg movement. When they start kicking I don’t realize it and when I relax, it relaxes my leg muscles and it seems that my relaxed leg move even more. Also I have problem with my leg position as well. When I was checking out my video, my coach and I noticed that when I go to the neutral position, my right leg is bended inward and this makes me spin. Again I have zero awareness of this as well. It seems that I just am not aware of my legs (how they kick or how they are not symmetrically positioned). Anybody knows what is going on? And how can I improve this? I know I should only listen to my instructors and the biggest advice that I get from my coaches and instructors are: Just relax and calm down your legs but when I do that, my legs seem to move more. Should I just lock my legs and make them stiff? thanks
