  1. Have you considered doing some tunnel time? You could get your body position sorted in a safe stress-free environment with coaches offering realtime advice. Then when you jump again, it's one less thing to worry about
  2. Quite agree, shouldn't be allowed to happen that low in the first place - but these things can happen. One for the CReW people I guess: any quick advice on what you should be looking for\doing with regard to minimising the risk of entanglement from your departing main before chopping a two-out (RSL off)?
  3. Get hold of a copy of the "Skydivers Handbook" if you can - well worth a read and full of top-notch information.
  4. Nicely put SkyDekker - all should be welcome and all credit to the guy for trying to find a way into the skies when most would give up!
  5. I'm a newcomer too but also had a bit of a sticky moment on the AFF course at a similar point. The main advice I was given was...relax...relax...relax! Smile lots, pull faces at your Instructor (warn them first though!
  6. Hi All, Being still very much a newbie - I keep hearing that the only daft question is the one you don't ask, so along those lines (and hoping that I don't break that rule! :-) )...can someone explain just what the heck's going on here please? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Photo_Submissions/Malfunctions&image=mike premie just testing long filename.JPG&img=&tt= (that lot should get you to the 5th Dropzone malfunction photo!?) Sorry to focus on the negative - there are some stunning photo's out there - but I'm (all too easily) confused by this one Many thanks...Stuart.
