bdb2004 28 #1 August 6, 2018 At least, not for me. About 8-10 years ago I did 87 jumps. I was definitely not a natural. Life circumstances took me out of the sport. On Saturday, I sat through a FJC and then did a currency jump with an instructor. From the unintentional front flips out the door to the backsliding all around the sky, it felt like I did back at my 5th jump. I suspect that it was mostly the combination of being very rusty and being very NOT relaxed. I've got some tunnel time booked in a couple of weeks, and definitely hope to do a few more instructor or coach jumps as I ease back in. Those first few seconds out the door, though....I've missed that a lot. Anyway, it is good to be back in the sky, and also, lurking here on DZ.com.

I bet you'll have better skills in no time, especially with the tunnel training.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markchd 0 #4 September 1, 2018 I decided to get back into mountain biking after 15 years a while back. ALSO not like riding a bike. I'm not at all sure about this idiom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallsFast 0 #5 September 13, 2018 I feel you, my DZ closed and I hope another one opens as the closet one is an 7 hour drive both ways. I need to stay current. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
