I had a really HARD (AND FAST) landing on my butt on jump #36, flying a Spectre 170. Scared the shit out of the DZ manager & everyone out there! The DZ manager said I was lucky I didn't break both legs! My legs and butt was so sore the rest of the day & the next day too. But, I jumped again that day because I just had to land it better the next time!!!!! Don't be afraid to try again. Remember your training (PLF!) and remember to always error on the safe side!

Turn Again to Life If I should die and leave you here a while, Be not like others, sore undone, who keep Long vigil by the silent dust and weep. For my sake turn again to life and smile, Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do That which will comfort other souls than thine; Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine, And I , perchance, may therein comfort you. ...Mary Lee Hall A beautiful sentiment.

I would try so hard to stand up my landings and have suffered the consequences from broken akle to a severly damaged knee that required surgery! Now, I just plan to PLF and do with exquisite style and grace ( ha! ha!). Everyone laughs at how I land but I don't care I don't want anymore injuries! The standing up part will come one day!:) "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore

What is the scariest part of the skydive for you?
ladyhawke replied to mattyblast's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
During AFF I would get so SICK TO MY STOMACH I could barely drive myself to the dropzone! Then once I got to the dropzone and it's time to gear up, I'd start feeling like I was going to THROW UP! Then the walk to the plane my knees would SHAKE and I'd think I'm gonna PASS OUT. Then during the ride to altitude I couldn't even talk because I'm so sick to my stomach, my legs are shaking, I'm breaking out in a sweet and my HEART IS RACING! Then right before I get to the door, I think, there is NO WAY I'm jumping out of this plane. Then I get in the door and it all goes away! Then I'm freefalling, well, that's a whole other feeling! Then I pull and I look up at my beautiful canopy and all the scaries are gone! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore -

What's Your Favorite Part of the Skydive?
ladyhawke replied to mattyblast's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I don't have very many jumps but I know already I LOVE the canopy ride and the landing parts the best!! I'm just SO HAPPY then. "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore -
Did I type s-e-x? I meant to say SMILING. Smiling is suppose to reduce stress. Silly me! :) "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore

I have a horrible time with fear! It's so bad that some days I can't even get to the dz! A problem I have right now is that I don't really enjoy freefall but I LOVE THE CANOPY. That's the reason why I keep trying. I've been stuck on every level and now I'm stuck on level 6. For some reason I'm unable to relax in freefall. I read somewhere that sex is suppose to help with that "stress" but I don't know for sure. Ha! Anyway, it's a major problem for me and lately I've come to a conclusion. For me: I should stop reading all the stuff there is to read! I should stop watching any skydiving videos (no matter how cool)! I should stop visualizing the perfect dive!! Just go, don't think and jump! I'm going to try that this weekend. How about that! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A. Dumbledore

I was having horrible problems with my 360 turns. I would look to turn left and end up spinning the opposite direction, going backwards, floating up, totally out of control! My AFF instructors and I worked very hard on trying to correct my legs, arms & feet. I was so frustrated and discouraged with myself because I wasn't able to "get it". So, I decided to go to the wind tunnel in Eloy. For me, the tunnel was very much like freefall. It took several sessions, but the time and excellent instruction paid off. When I went for my level 5 jump, my turns were slow and I didn't spin! I'M SO HAPPY! I still have lots of work to do, my turns aren't perfect but at least I'm TURNING and not SPINNING! I believe the tunnel helped me to finally understand how it's suppose to FEEL! Plus the tunnel was fun, fun, fun! "It is our choices that show what we truly are far more than our abilities." - A.
