jbrister 0 #1 September 3, 2003 Hi All, I thought I should introduce myself as I suspect I am going to become a permanent fixture in the UK skydiving scene. I am about to turn 32 and just done my first jumps. I did two static line drops on the same day and two more over the next couple of weeks. I cannot believe that I left it so long before having a go. I have just completed my AFF ground training and am doing my Level 1 jump at the weekend. Funny thing though, my 4 static line jumps I was not nervous at all, in fact I was buzzing before, during and after all of them. This time though, I am feeling very aprehensive, and I'm not sure why. I know the equipment I am using is new and top of the line, I trust my instructors and my training and I have confidence in my own abilities. I guess it is just the thought of leaving a perfectly servicable aircraft at 13,000ft with nothing more than a bag of nylon on my back! I don't know if anyone reading this has had a similar, sudden and inexplicable attack of nerves? Still, I have been well and truly bitten, and there's no going back now, so I guess I just focus on my training and take a leap of faith Cheers and Blue Skys, J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
