Fivehorizons 0 #1 February 15, 2008 I am new to skydiving and so far have only made two tandem jumps. I can say that it changed my life! I have never done something that made me so happy! I absolutely LOVE it! I am waiting for warmer weather to come so I can make my third tandem. I would love to learn more and move on to the static line class but there is one thing holdng me back. I have never been in an emergency situation and really don't know how I would react. I am not sure how to get past this. I figure if I go tandem a few more times, maybe I will feel more comfortable and have the courage to move on. Anyway, this website seems pretty cool and I look forward to learning much more about the sport here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwilkinson 0 #3 February 15, 2008 Welcome, I am on level 8 of my aff training. The biggest thing that I have learned so far is trust and listen to your instructors. They will (should) cover every mal imaginable. and they do it in a way where it is beaten into your head, where it will be instinct and not just so you can pass a test on the ground. It was a great feeling after did my first solo poised exit and did a few backflips(not on purpse) and my body just arched hard and went bellydown and got myself stable. I say save your money and skip that 3rd tandem and start your S/L or aff training. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
