imstu 0 #26 December 4, 2007 Congratulations on making the decision to skydive and following thru on it! You have a great attitude and determination that will get you far. One suggestion, if you are going to practice PLFs (which is a great idea!) you may want to consider padding your 'landing area'. This is the one GOOD use for the mattress from the fold-out-couch. Take the mattress out and put it on the floor to 'land' on. Another possible pad would be blankets/comforters. You can really hurt yourself if you are doing PLFs over and over without much padding. I'd hate to see you too sore to jump next weekend! Take care and remember to smile for the cameras! Stuart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grannyinthesky 0 #27 December 4, 2007 Thanks for the idea. The floor is carpeted and has pretty decent padding, but I did learn after the first practice session to limit the number of tries. I've got my fingers crossed for the coming weekend. So far, it looks good and after having too much wind last week end, I'm really running out of patience!"safety first... and What the hell..... safety second, Too!!!
