SL-ers: How were your first exits?
twister replied to Thijs's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Just practice on the ground over and over again,and just keep jumping.You just have to battle your instincts i saw lots of videos where people jumped and crossed there arms in front of them ,and why they did that they couldn't tell. My first unstable exit was my first clear and pull i was on my back when i pulled my chute and saw the chute open between my legs -

Thats the big advantage of S/L progression.I haven't jumped from an altitude higher then 4500FTSo i'm not scared to jump low. -

The only fear i had was after two hard landings at my second jump i didn't flare (the guy on the radio did say ready but not flare and i was more focused on the radio then the ground).And at jump six the first without radio support i flared way to high, both times i was sore for a week.Fortunaly both times i was able to do a PLF that saved me for more serious injuries.So i was a little scared for my landing for a wile because i had a hard time to judge the flare altitude.But from jump 11 i could do them standing and haven't had bean nervous form my landing again -
Fortunately, both canopies found clean air and the student landed his main and reserve canopies uneventfully. If you have 2 out don't you have to dump te main and land with your reserve ??
