Andy_Copland 0 #76 July 16, 2005 Will do, i got a nice warning from my instructor the other day, "just when you think your skydiving is going really well, it has a nasty habbit of biting you in the arse so always practice your ep's." I want to skydive on a regular basis, im addicted after 3 and everyone keeps telling me it only gets better. When im under may canopy at 2000 feet im looking down thinking "damn, i wouldnt like to cut away at this hight in an emergancy." Does that worry ever go away?1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It went away for me when I started leaving the airplane at about 2000 feet for hop-n-pops But seriously, you'll start getting more comfortable with low altitudes as you continue to jump.. Just dont get *too* comfortable with it FGF #??? I miss the sky... There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
