Thanks for all of the info. the reality here is that I still have a ton of physio to do and it would be unwise to try and jump before the knee is healed properly as tempting as it might be. I saw a biokinetics practitioner today and the sad news is that the injured leg is 80% weaker in the quads and 20% in the hams than the good one. At the end of the day if I have to lay off for a month or two extra I will be better off than if I jump to early and hurt the knee again. Once again thank you for helping.

Hi All, I tore the ligaments (ACL) in my knee and had surgery in October and I am now 4 months into a 6 month lay off. I am looking for some advice from jumpers who have recovered from similar injuries and what they did to get themselves ready for their next jump, some advice on jumping with knee braces and any general information that will help me when I get back in the air in April.

Thanks. I will try and make contact with them before I leave

I am going to be visiting Detroit and San Francisco next week

Hi All I am very new to the sport and completed levels 4,5 and 6 of my AFF program this Saturday. At this stage each and every jump is really intense for me. Pre jump nerves once you realise that you are going to have to do a front roll, a back loop and a delta all in the same dive for the first time really gets my heart rate going. What I am currently experiencing is that after the weekends adrenaline overload I seem to feel quite blue on a Monday. Is this normal or am I just a 40 something year old fart who's body and mind are subtly trying to tell him to rather take up fishing?
