Yeah I was pretty stressed out on the first 2 jumps but when I realized I really had some control in freefall, everything settled alright! I can't wait to jump again, I'm at 9 right now!

Please take note that I am far from being an experienced jumper (only 7 jumps right now). I, although, have been teaching swimming lessons for a long time so I am kinda used to watching body movements. Experts make sure to correct me please :) Look at your feet. Your right foot is pointing back while your right foot is pointing up (more air pressure on your right foot). Also, you can see your left leg is a little more bent than your right leg. (more air pressure on your right leg) Considering both of these points, the wind obviously hits your right leg "harder" which induces a turning movement towards your left. Some tunnel will definitely help you. Edit: Somebody beat me to it. I guess I hadn't gone all the way down before writing my reply. Glad to know I was pretty spot on!

I'm in Trois-Rivières, which is like halfway between Montreal and Quebec (like 1h-1h15 from Montreal). It is called Parachutisme Adrénaline Trois-Rivières. I like it a lot but it's a pretty small DZ... Like 2 AFF instructors and a couple of TIs (which are mostly AFFs aswell)... They have a Cessna 206 which can board 6 jumpers. I like it but keep in mind I haven't experienced anything else. They're 2 DZ related though... One in St-Jérôme, one in Trois-Rivières. St-Jérôme's one seems bigger but I haven't gone yet. All in all, I get along everybody and the instructors really answer all of my questions. Haven't heard of stories either about experienced jumpers making fun of beginners of any sort (I know some of them rode the plane down in certain circumstances) and they were very understanding.

Hey there people :) Just joined these forums and also just started to skydive. Currently finishing my AFF course! Can't wait to skydive more but heh... money doesn't grow on trees :s Especially since I don't have my "real" job yet, I can't jump as I would like to. Oh well. 20 mins in the tunnel and 6 jumps so far, all went pretty well. (5 jumps with instructors and one completely alone) I love this!
