hexadecimal 0 #5 July 13, 2005 It's part of the AFP. I was only in a sit for about 5-6 seconds before going back to belly flying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dougiefresh 0 #6 July 13, 2005 Shit, first Beth, now you bust out the sit on your first try! You kids got some mad skillz! That sit looks better than mine...

Buried 0 #9 July 13, 2005 AFP is different from AFF and is what/how they teach at SDC. One jump is a intro to sitflying. Some people get it (kinda) others just have a hard time. students are usually back on their belly within the first 3k feet... maybe less Where is my fizzy-lifting drink?

Don't worry, Doug, if you keep practicing one day you can be as cool as us. (Of course, mine was a total one-time fluke. ) Way to go, Mike! Wasn't that fun! Yep, just like when I posted about mine, I had people asking why I was doing a sit. Its part of AFP, people! You do a sit-fly exit, try to hold the sit for a few seconds, then you go onto your belly to do some back flips. Note to anyone else in AFP who might post about theirs -- be sure to put in there that it was an AFP jump! "At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!

Doug will have plenty of time to work on his sit in the tunnel this August... and I'll have plenty of time to work on not sucking at everything else It was an awesome feeling though... and knowing I could easily get stable after being pretty unstable in a sit fly position was educational and confidence inspiring Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites tigra 0 #15 July 13, 2005 Just to add to this- its a later AFP level and the main goal of the level is not to teach sit flying but recovery from unstable positions. The sitflying is just an added bonus. (Back when I did AFP, it was level 11 and they just had us exit in sort of a cannonball and try to do a 360 on our backs, no actual sitflying involved. Then a couple of backloops and some dockign practice. I've got fond memories of the jump because it was the only student jump I did with Roger and it was pretty much my "breakthrough" dive. Not that the dive went perfect because it didn't, but I realized the dive didn't NEED to be perfect and I was much more relaxed for my remaining student jumps!

Realizing I could go unstable and get back to my belly okay was such a breakthrough for me, too. Not to mention starting with this jump was when all the "fun stuff" started (flips, rolls, tracks).
