Started AFF jumps today!

Recommended Posts

Well I made AFF 1-3. 1 was terrible , I am anything but a natural flyer. Made the pull though with a lot of patience from the JM's. 2 went better but having problems with my arch and knees ( low and apart). 3 I thought I blew it but the JM's said there was major improvement.
Looking forward to next weekend and trying to improve! I would be suprised if I pass all the stages first time but thats not important.Great JM's and all the folks at the DZ are trying to help.
Just a great time!!!!

Don't get me wrong, its a blast! Just sensory overload when when I get unstable cause I try to force it and lose track of everything else.
Had a twist on my second openning but that was not a problem to fix, thanks to the ground prep. The JM's turned me loose for 3 to 4 thousand foot of freefall on the third jump and said I was a lot better but still needed to work on getting my knees up more but I was able to maintain my heading.
They seemed surprised when they asked about my approach and landing when I told them I couldn't hear the radio and did the approach and landing solo and was just following what they had instructed in the ground training. Seems I got it mostly right but flaring a little to early.
Looking forward to 4 but a little nervous too!
