I keep looking for some sort of clue as to what is going on with the contest I am curious to know what happened. I may not be the best camera flyer but Im definitly one of the biggest amatures .. wonder if they have a boobie prize for that I do like pairs of those. Luck, wisdom, and clean air.

ya im with ya i cant wait to get my own gear so i can fly in more positions then belly down I should have my own gear by the weekend and i plan on doing lots of real slow flips and practice control untell i can find someone who will help me learn more freeflying. mostly what i hear is how everyone with over 200 jumps is just now starting to learn. sheesh that and adjusting my fall rate A licence and 32 dives luck and wisdom Tony Luck, wisdom, and clean air.

I like the fear....... I use the plane ride up to stuff it in a little box inside me so i can open it days later and relive it. you might try asking about the spot and landing patterns at your dz and do a dirt dive of your landing pattern with someone. accounting for the winds and stuff. and what to expect this will improve your ability to get back to the landing area alot. practice your flares up high on your way to the landing pattern, then you will have freashly trained reflexes for landing. good luck Luck, wisdom, and clean air.

I recently finished my aff well i have 32 jumps now and my level 1 aff was aug 4th. I failed level 1 as well for 2 reasons 1 the closed hand shaking hand sign wasnt in the book they gave me . they didnt understant why i kept looking at then with a blank stare. (it means practice rip cord pulls) 2 on wave off I kept waving but they wouldnt leave off (heheheh) (they not who your signaling with a wave off its for anyone above you) however i did pull on time so it wasnt all bad and after that i breezed through the rest. they tell me dont talk to the students but i do like to share my experences and recomend a few things to everyone about to start on level 1 aff. practice the hand signs untell they come easy and natural. ( its the only way to comunicate in free fall) 2, relaxe if you read ahead like i did dont panic about back flips and stuff they are easyer then you think and each jump teaches you the skills for the next jump. for me each and every jump has been bettter and better and more and more fun not to mention the fear and panic inside calms alittle bit each jump and as you learn more have fun and read all you can find it does help. Luck, wisdom, and clean air.
