Hey all I did my LVL 2 AFF today and the whole ride up i was scared out of my mind but as soon as i was falling i was just fine. Does the pre jump fear go away or should i just prep for it better "When the people look like ants-PULL, When the ants look like people-PRAY." "Only skydivers know why the birds sing."

Did you take the two year break because you wanted to, or did the body slam caused by the forward surge on your parachute cause this? I would almost bet money this resulted in a hard tailbone strike, and possibly a minor compression fracture. But good to hear you are back on the saddle... I suffered little more than broken pride. The 2 year break was because i was laid off of work 2 days after i did the first jump and it was 16 months before i found work again. Then the other 8 months to get bills taken care of before i could jump. "When the people look like ants-PULL, When the ants look like people-PRAY." "Only skydivers know why the birds sing."

Ok, after nearly 2 years being away from the sport I signed up to retake my AFF-1. I was scared to death because my last one did not go well at all and I just about did not walk away from my landing (if you can call it a landing). There are 3 big things that messed me up that should not have. 1. Bad body position on deployment causing a line twist malfunction. 2. No contact with instructors through radio (That should not have been a problem but I panicked.) 3. Flared way high and panicked and released it at around 30 feet and smashed into the ground (Again my fault and it should not have happened. Anyway I did my lvl 1 AFF yesterday at Skydive San Diego. This time I great body position on exit good practice touches good altitude awareness. I deployed right on time with good body position and the main opened right on heading with no problem. I went through everything I was supposed to then just enjoyed the ride till it was time to start in for landing. Just like the first time I did not get any feedback from my instructors on the ground but I was feeling much better and was not panicked. On final approach I did not panic and flared at right about 10 feet and did a great PLF (Instructors said so). It turned out I did not even need to do a PLF because I could have stood that up with ease but I took the safe way out. The reason I had no info from my instructors was because my radio came off right at exit and I did not know nor did I rely on it. Sorry to say I had to work after and could not do lvl 2 but I will be back next payday and do another 2 or 3 jumps. I’m hooked once again.

Im Just getting into My AFF jumps. I work 2 jobs and pick up shifts all the time. I have not been home in almost 4 days. Im just glad that there are showers at work. I do my first AFF on Saturday and if things work out for me at work i will be done in as little as 2 months. "When the people look like ants-PULL, When the ants look like people-PRAY."

Hey all. I’m about to start My AFF training again after a 2 year absence due to the economy. I am looking into getting my own gear not long after i get my Class A License and am wondering what would be a good choice for a new jumper. What is a good size canopy both main and reserve. is there any tips you all can share on getting gear? "When the people look like ants-PULL, When the ants look like people-PRAY."
