lintern 1 #1 January 14, 2004 Can anyone recommend any good DVD's which would be good for me - a student with 60 RAPS jumps but stuck on 3s delays - and where I could get it from. The sort of DVD I'm after is something that shows skydiving as a beginner (e.g. maybe on static line) progressing through to Cat 8, as well as the theory of jumping, how to pack, tips and tricks, dealing with mals etc. As RAPS is not working out for me I'm thinking of doing AFF (I keep going unstable and end up dearched with my belly to the sky on 3s delays) Its just that I can't afford it at the moment and I'm not sure when and where to do it. There don't seen to be many DVD's about skydiving. The few that exist are quite expensive and I've no idea which ones are good or bad. Any help would be appreciated. P.S. I live in the UK so ideally I would like to purchase a DVD from the UK, especially for DVD compatibility reasons. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevePhelps 0 #2 January 14, 2004 I have nothing to offer on the DVDs but I do recommend going AFF. I had a lot of military static line jumps and years after I got out I went IAD (Instructor Assisted Deployment) I struggled on most every level. I switched to AFF and passed all 7 levels first time through. Some methods are not bad, but just don't work for others. I needed the hands on experience approach of AFF. Try that and you'll probably be surprised! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrogNog 1 #5 January 15, 2004 QuoteGood Stuff Hear, hear. Good Stuff was what got me into skydiving in the first place, and it strength (for me at least) is that it's so damn cool it kept me going. Even through my 10 second delays. (All 9 or so of them. ) -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
