Preach it brotha. I still get in one of those every now and then. One of the best survival skills you can have. I've known way too many people that hurt themselves simply because they didn't do one. Amen, ALex! I have been wondering which thread that I should use to post my recent experience with not doing a PLF when it was called for. I am 30 days post-surgery for a ruptured quadricep tendon, and will not be able to jump for another month yet, probably. I had no problem with my flare; I landed long on my 24th jump; it was into a pea patch, with the rows running perpendicular to my flight path. My forward motion had ceased upon touchdown, and I guess that I was so elated that I was finally going to stand one up, that I forgot that I should PLF due to the uneven ground. My bad! How I ended up long is another story altogether, and I am reading all sorts of info on patterns, etc. so as not to repear that mistake. Thanks Rider13 for your story, and thanks to you AggieDave for the lead on Brian Germain's new book. I will get it. -------------------------------------------------- "If you can't find it, you may as well not have it!"
