Stage 6, same as OP. I haven't jumped in 4-5 months so I don't know how I'll go. I knows it's a similar jump to stage 5 - but an unlinked exit. 2 360 turns and 2 docks, 1 180 turn, wave and deploy. I've been practising my arch on ground but still not confident in jumping. Should I just go back and do the jump because I think I need to just get over my fear of my previous jump. I don't think I'm cut out for this sport if I'm going to not jump for several months just because one 'bad' jump. I want this really bad though. Really mentally challenging.

I'm having a similar issue. I haven't jumped in around 4-5 months and I'm worried about how I will perform. Since my last jump, that didn't go exactly to plan, every time I try to make it out to the dropzone, I can't. I get hyped up the day before but when the morning comes, I just feel horrible and scared. I fear on how I will perform and I dread the day I will have to cut-away in a malfunction. What holds me back is how my family would react if I did end up bouncing. I know it's a horrid thought and I don't like talking about it to other people but I'd hope you could relate. I'm not sure what I should do. I really want to continue my AFF but I feel as if it's been too long since my land jump as that I might screw up again.
