beowulf 1 #2 November 2, 2003 Just relax and do exactly what your instructor's tell you to do. Relaxing is the most important and hardest part. And have fun!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #4 November 2, 2003 Quote Is there any advice on my jump tomorrow? Smile. Smile, if it's real, if it's not. Tight lipped, wide grin - doesn't matter....just smile. And then come back here and tell us all about it! Congratulations, and welcome to the sky. You will never be the same again.

NoShitThereIWas 0 #7 November 2, 2003 Kick Ass, Listen to your instructors, Do what they tell you, RELAX, use common sense and HAVE FUN!!! Let us know how it went. Blue skies. Oh and I forgot to add, if you get bit by the bug like me and most of my skydiving friends, be ready to set up a direct deposit account from you to your local DZ.

Glipazide 0 #8 November 2, 2003 Awesome guys! Relaxing was the hardest part up until i left the aircraft.. After that got 1 relax sign from the jumpmaster, everything was great. Nervous wreck until it was time to exit. Only thing i did wrong was a "double take" at the door.. went straight to the prop and went up, then corrected myself to the hotel check. Landing was great. Landed on both feet, thanks to Tony talking me down. Also, a thanks to the guys here for the info and a BIG thanks to A.C. and John at Raeford. See ya soon!

streaker 0 #9 November 3, 2003 It's tough to relax when you're trying to remember all that you have to do on the jump, but believe me, relaxing is the key,but don't loose your focus, altitude is everyting.

RkyMtnHigh 0 #11 November 3, 2003 I'm new at this too..so I know what you mean. with the anxiety and all..Relaxing IS the key..remember why you started this sport, as an escape from stress in your life? feeling of freedom? Do you have a favorite song you can think of? That's helped me! Paul Oakenfold's "best days of our life" and "when the rush comes"! As you're climbing to full altitude, put a big grin on and think about an awesome experience, get those goosebumps of the thrill, visualize the perfect jump and go DO IT! When that door opens, look forward to the experience! Your life will change..you'll be a changed person. Look forward to the happiness that's ahead! Can't wait to hear about it! _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
