ifics 0 #1 September 28, 2003 I know you all on this BB read a TON of Whohoo graduation threads but here goes it anyway. I Graduated from my AFF and have completed 13 jumps as of today. I have to get through to level 14 before they let me go without a coach. I finished my level 11 about 3 hours ago. I have some stuff left to fill out on my card before I get my A license but its on its way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadowplay 0 #4 September 28, 2003 Instead of posting my own, I'll just piggy back on this one.... I graduated AFF yesterday. It wasn't my best jump but I had never done a dive exit and it was a different experience. YAY ME!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awww, Man, Shadowplay, just wish I could digest the compliments, however, their must be another JJF (which doesn't surprise, afterall the Stones are incredible you know) out their that is kicking some serious base ass..... I though, am just getting done with AFF Level IV and admittedly, after I one day bust a couple thousand jumps loose, will be looking to follow in his footsteps and tear up some antennas and bridges, but I'm not there yet dude! Still A Newbie! However, if you have any url's or inf on the person your talking about, I'd love to see some pics! Blue Skies, jjf it's a gas, gas, gas...It's a gas, gas, gas...

kelel01 1 #11 September 29, 2003 Hey, what was the diving exit like? I have to do it next weekend for my last AFF jump! Thanks! Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadowplay 0 #12 September 30, 2003 I swear to god it was the scarriest thing I've ever done. I flipped over onto my back I think mostly because my hear wasn't all the way up... It took me about 2000 feet to stablize I think, that's wayyyy too long. After that I executed my front loop and did some tracking that was pretty half a$$. So my JM passed me because I had good AA and I pulled stable. I'm going back out with him with video next time to work on my dive and tracking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifics 0 #13 September 30, 2003 When you do your diving exit make sure to put your feet all the way to your ass right as you exit. If you don't the wind will push your legs and flip you. Wait about 2 seconds or so then put your legs back to normal. It will save you a flip, sometimes I think the JM's don't tell you because they want you to go unstable and then stable again on exit. Fun either way if you ask me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadowplay 0 #15 September 30, 2003 Look, what I mean is it is something totally new to all the AFF jumps that we do. Hell I don't even think I looked down until level 5!! I think IFICS is right, my legs probably werent all the way curled up but I also think maybe my head wasn't cocked all the way up. I might have gotten fixated on the ground, which was stupid. I'm looking forward to doing it again however. By the way good luck with yours Kel!!! I'm sure you'll do fine...like my JM says "relax and have fun" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
