poohbeer 0 #1 June 1, 2003 but I conquered my stupid fears and got up again for another 3 jumps. WIIIIIIIIHAAAAAA!!! AFF rules.. unfortunatly I don't.. worst of my 'class' and didn't complete AFF unlike all the others I needed 4 jumps to get stable enough for the instructors to let go.. 5th jump even some more getting used to the idea. 6th jump FINALY completely awake and doing my best to keep that heading. Damn feet wont't stay in the correct position the second I think about something else 6th jump also was the last one.. all my tickets used up and no more money to finish the entire AFF course so going back another time with lots and lots of money and even more time to spare.. I WANT THAT PERMIT!!! Oh, under parachute I'm doing ok, no radio guidance required even on first jump.. perfect flare en perfact stading ups and even quite on target! At least I don't suck at everything Oh, and I did get that expensive video of my first jump but thanks to my double keying on the first jump the cameraman jumped the gun before I exited so I got a video of my 3rd jump for free sorry for the blanter but nobody's home and I just needed to shout this out. ------- SIGNATURE BELOW ------- Complete newbie at skydiving, so be critical about what I say!!

katiebear21 0 #2 June 1, 2003 Good job on the landings... don't worry - the rest will come. One day it will just 'click'! If you keep having problems in freefall continue to get video! I only had one video on my 8th jump but then again around 60 or so. It helped me out incredibly! Good on ya!

jumpgod 0 #3 June 2, 2003 "fear" is normal poohbeer. i think that my AFF level jumps were the most terrifyingly adventurous experiences of my life. no other jumps are like them. it still scares the livin' shiznit out of me....EVERYTIME. i've seen the best days... i've seen the 'worst' days. the only thing that you can do is follow your dreams, follow your love, and get up and get your 'knees in the breeze'. jump safely, jg"dude, where's my main?"
