doddy 0 #1 January 1, 2005 Hi all, I have been off for a while, and due to inclament weather have been pushing uphill to get stage 3 & 4 done. Have done them both now and can say that it was the best and most scarey experiance to date!! Stage 3 went well and stage 4 followed, but unfortunantly for my JM i forgot the 5000ft wave off and dumped at 4500ft. Other than that it went quite well!! Do any of you experianced divers have any tips for a newbie in free fall to help with stability?? Love to hear from you all.

Hard to do when your thinking about jumping out of a plane at 13,500 feet, but it is the only thing that works. Relax! Also, if you're unstable you may be getting a signal from your AFF I's that your legs are too far bent - just maybe. Relax! Enjoy the view.... Relax! jt* Let's all do this safe enough that we can still do this in our 90's.

I had the problem that I arched well, had the right "pose", but my arms and legs were too tensed and I started spinning during my level 3, even though on video it looked like if I did the ight pose. I took that level 3 times... and no problems occured in the levels following. Because my arms were too tensed, I wasn't floating on the wind, but pushed in a direction ... My trick was waving with my hands and than I relaxed my arms for a while. I was trying too hard. The 3rd time I took my level 3 I was standing at the doorstep in the plane and I thought: what the hell... you guys may be ood skyivers, but you guys cannot do things that I can... a clicl in my brin occured, I was relexed during my freefall... and... well... you know the story... I am doing my solo's now, i am downsizing the canopy bit by bit... within some weeks I will do my warps.... I may no be that experienced, I am very new in the sport myself, but I remember my poblems and the tips and tricks and they worked for me...------------------------------------------------- No dive, like skydive... wanna bet on it?
