Gress 0 #3 May 14, 2003 Congrats I haven't done my AFF yet, but tips I feel everyone are repating are RELAX -both your body and mind. Offcourse also, listen to your instructors and what they are saying and showing you. Hope you succeed, and have lots of fun -Mag Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BenGriffiths 0 #6 May 14, 2003 Quotedon't forget to breathe! One thing I find is that a lot of early AFF Students have problems breathing in FreeFall. I've never had any problems. I'd never really though of it until I focussed on my breathing. I had a slightly higher than normal breath rate - but I reckon this was just due to the altitude - negligible and my higher than normal tachycardia due to adrenaline etc..---------- Ben G Still Sinking :-( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
