Hello All,
I am pretty new to skydiving world. It has always been my dream to complete skydiving AFF training. I am trying to evaluate myself and see if skydiving is meant for me. I am hoping to hear from the experienced people here.
I have completed 2 Tandem so far, it took me quite a lot of time to go for my 1st Tandem which happened at the age of 29 years but it took me just 6 more months to go for my second tandem which from 18000 ft and since then I have been going for bungee jumping, six flags just to get the fear out of my system. Next up I would like to go for AFF Level 1. I am totally not worried about the free fall part but very scared about the landing part. I am in Southern California, so thinking of going to Skydive Perris for AFF Level 1 and I am sure I will receive great training but still I would like to know what injuries can happen if I make any mistakes. What are the most important qualities required in an individual to complete AFF Level 1? Is it possible to learn canopy control by doing another tandem? Are there any drop zones that offer static line training in Southern California as I would really like to learn canopy control first?
I would love to hear your feedback and tips to remain calm, deep down I really want to do this and I would really appreciate your help on this?
