bigfall 0 #1 October 25, 2004 I finally got some good weather out at the DZ but the place was crowded and I only got to make on jump. I did my first PTO and totally missed my throw out my exit from the plane was great according to my instructor but when I went for the practice throw out I felt like I was loosing my arch and went back into my arch and sense I am doing IAD my chute was out before I could try again. any suggestions? TOTALLY BUMMED STEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATERSTEP OUT AND FEEL THE RUSH!!!! LATER SKYBOMB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
174fps 1 #2 October 25, 2004 missing a practice pull is not uncommon. Chill Practice the count that your instructors have given you. muscle memory is important. If they have some sort of training aid, borrow it and practice practice practice. Remember the whole point of this sport is .... to have FUN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JustD 0 #3 October 28, 2004 hey m8 i just done the same thing so i wouldn't worry!!! My first Dummy Pull i got it but de-arched so this time i focused on my arch and missed the damn thing... but hey i had great body position so next time (hopfully the weekend) im going to combine the two and have it all perfect!!! I'm going to practice a little more in the ground so i know instinctively where it is.

I pulled my ripchord every time but something always caused me to have to wait for my 3 sec delay. I finally got there. my advice would be to keep stable as you can, get it right, practice you pull on your rig before the jump, go through the count and the jump in your mind in the plane. Visualise it and then go forth and make us proud. Remember to smile on the way out!I didn't do it, i swear! Backloops @ sunset!
