Hi Sean, I can relate to the fear of the landing. I love the freefall but have been scared and worried about flying the canapy, but mostly the landing. I really don't want to break any ankles since most of my fun involves using my legs. I am still scared since I have not done my level 3 yet. But I have friends who have all talked to me about how to land and fly the canapy ect. Yes I am still worried and scared but having them talk to me about what to do and telling me that I will do fine just remember certain points help. So I suggest get information on what to do for landing and go over and over it in your head, visualize. And like they said, you don't have to jump. Mo

Hi Grace and others, I am new too. I never thought I could jump and it has always scared the hell out of me the thought of jumping out of a plane. But I went up with my housemate, who was learning to get certified. He said I was pretty white the whole way up, but it was so excillerating that I am definately addicted! It stills scares me and excites me to levels I have never felt before! I did 2 tandems, one was a lesson and I am just waiting to get down to Mesquite to take the rest of them. (our drop zone closed for the winter shortly after my jump.) I have plans for my jumping future but need to get certified first! this site is great for learning too. thanks, MoQuote
