  1. On my last trip to the drop zone I was fairly stressed out due to a rough week at work and I'm sure that didn't help the situation. Now that you mention it -- I do seem to have a better time skydiving when I show up at the dropzone stress free and well-rested. Thanks for the reply. I'm releived to know that my situation is "normal". I was beginning to get concerned that I wasn't progressing fast enough.
  2. OK, I'm new to this sport and I've accumulated 39 jumps so far. I seem to have a slight problem being able to relax in freefall. Some days I am totally relaxed, having the time of my life, and my jumps seem to go perfectly. However, other days I am very tense and a bit wobbly (but stable). Is this normal for someone with this many jumps? I know 39 jumps isn't many, but it seems as though I should be past this stage. Sometimes I feel as though I'm putting way too much thought into what I'm doing during freefall instead of just taking it easy and enjoying myself. Is this something that will fix itself with more experience or should I be concerned? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
