Nick.w.FLY 0 #1 September 8, 2005 Just wondering how I go about getting back into freeflying / skydiving after a long lay off (three years). I live in the uk and remember that the freefly scene wern't so great when I was in the sport. I'd really like to start to get my head around freefly but am worried about my massive lack of currency. Can anyone suggest some form of sensible progression? THANKS.

After my layoff (six months - injury) i did a jump with an Instructor friend, basically a level 7 AFF, out linked, release, some turns and some up and down movement. Wave and pull at five grand. Good luck and welcome back!

Hi Nick I see you have had a long lay off from jumping. I am wondering when you last jumped at Netheravon seeing as you recently posted a detailed review of the dropzone...
