Jimbo 0 #10 November 28, 2003 Deep breath and a big smile as you're leaving the aircraft. Visualizing the perfect skydive, over and over, will help too. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antithesis 0 #11 November 29, 2003 When I was just beginning in the sport I had a few bad exits (usually my first one of the day) because of a bad body position. I practiced arching on the floor and visualizing my jump. This helped me all the way through my progression. Have fun..Relax (ditto) You'll get it I travel the land, Work in the ocean, Play in the sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
