Lobb_Himself 0 #1 December 6, 2004 Hi there every one... I am from England, home DZ Hinton. I completed my first Static Line descent last week and absolutely loved it. I wasn't scared of this step. However all my thoughts, day and night, are about Freefall. The prospect petrifies and fascinates me. Does anyone have any words of comfort that may help me sleep at night and continue my training? To be honest it doesn't even matter coz I'm going to do it anyway!!! I just want a good nights sleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lou_lou 0 #3 December 6, 2004 Freefall is brilliant! You can take it seriously or just muck about. It's surprising how much time you have up there. Good luck and have fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobb_Himself 0 #4 December 6, 2004 I guess it is the initial acceleration which I find daunting. I guess it's in the realm of the unknown at the moment. Incidentally please ignore the picture. I tried to find a monkey but the files were all too big! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #5 December 7, 2004 Welcome to our world, friend.....Forget the initial acceleration problem...you won't feel acceleration as such...just a floating sensation with the wind howling in your face!My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
