Tito.J 0 #1 August 31, 2006 I'm doing my last tandem jump this Friday and taking the 5 hour class to then jump with my own rig. Any suggestions or tricks you could provide? I'm sure the class will have good information, but doesn't hurt to get some information ahead of time. The thing that makes me nervous only really is controlling the rig to the right landing spot (although I will be coached through headphones). And another thing that makes me nervous is when to flare to land so I don't land 60 MPH on the ground. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elisha 1 #2 August 31, 2006 1) relax 2) follow directions 3) you won't be going anywhere near 60 mph on the student equipment if the canopy is fully inflated and the canopy is flying straight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tito.J 0 #3 September 26, 2006 Did the solo coached jump, it was phenomenal, although I moved my legs too much. I need to control my legs on the next jump (AFF2) so I can pass it. Here's the video if you care to watch it and provide any input. I haven't been able to skydive again because of weather on weekends. Instructors are only available on weekends unfortunately. Overall it was a nice jump, and it was fun pulling the ripcord and controlling the canopy. It was definitely not as hard as I pictured it. Can't wait for the next one! http://s93347030.onlinehome.us/assets1/maxout.mpg Blue skyes! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
