INSANEDADDY 0 #1 July 2, 2002 Just looking for some advise on getting back into the air. I have been off for three months due to relationship and financal problems. My last jump was AFP-8. My next jump will be AFP-9. I have been studying my emergency procedures every week, and practicing my body position.Is there anything else that I can do to make the next jump go smoothly? Just thinking about it PUMPS me up. You dont't get to choose how you're going to die.

flyman 0 #3 July 2, 2002 hey man.. i took a break from jumpin in the middle of my s/l course a few years back... you'll get right back into it.. soon as that muscle memory is in place its just a walk in the park.. feel the handles, know where they are and relax and have fun! Good luck, bro.. and blue skies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skybytch 273 #4 July 2, 2002 Sounds like you're doin' everything right. Only thing I'd add would be to concentrate on how much fun you're going to have in the air to keep the inevitable butterflies flying in formation as you're getting ready to get back up there. Enjoy! And be sure to post and let us know how great it felt to go back home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites judedre 0 #5 July 2, 2002 Ive been jumpin 8 years and have only 300 jumps so that tells u i have left LOTS of gaps from jumping and the only thing i can say is its the only way to get that rush back when u dont jump for 6 months or so the you jump again you will ask all thos stupid questions to yasel like why am i doin this what am i doin it for then all of a sudden youre in freefall and everything comes flooding back u dont forget a thing and you suddenly remeber why you started skydiving in the first place canopy ride is all smiles and its all downhill from there on my logbook is full of recurency jumps and dont leave it so long nextime comments from jumpmasters , you will love it let us know how you get on,,, remebr relax arch n pull Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites INSANEDADDY 0 #6 July 2, 2002 You dont't get to choose how you're going to die.
