Being someone who has just started in formations, one of the first things that was tought to me was be predictable. Tracking off and not being seen by the others in the formation does not seem very predictable to me. Also working to get the points in the fun of it, cant give up partway through just cause ya fell low, work and get urself in the formation The Altitude above you, the runway behind you, and the fuel not in the plane are totally worthless Dudeist Skydiver # 10

Its pretty much the same thing that happens when ur scuba diving. on ur slow accend to altitude the pressures between the inside of ur ear drum and out side ear drum slowly even themselves out. On a nice fast freefall the outer pressure increases putting a squeese on ur eardrum giving you that nice uncomfortable sensation. the best way to equalize that pressure is to plug ur nose and try to blow out ur nose. Its the same technique used in scuba diving. but like ya mentioned it doesnt happen all the time.

haha ya beat me to it, yeah jumping military airborne style will really beat the plf into you, literally. nothing like hammering the ground with a bunch of kit on making you fall that much faster The Altitude above you, the runway behind you, and the fuel not in the plane are totally worthless Dudeist Skydiver # 10

I have a larger slider on my sabre(never liked the hard openings) because of this i have a fairly long open time, usally 600ft so i like to pull high to give me more time to deal with any kind of mals The Altitude above you, the runway behind you, and the fuel not in the plane are totally worthless Dudeist Skydiver # 10

only thing i can really think of, cause i was scared of the door opening too but really helped me was the realization of who cares if i fall out when the door opens, i was going out anyway and this just makes the exit that much more interesting haha. Most fearful time for me was a CASA military jump, our herc was down so we loaded a casa with all of our gear for a full kit jump. i was first out second pass so i was standing right at the ramp looking out at 1000ft while the plane was racetracking around for the next pass, made be a bit nervous trying to stand there with 100lbs of gear right at the ramp holding my static line trying to balance as the plane was turning. Looking back it was pretty cool cause the view was amazing but i was terrified at the time The Altitude above you, the runway behind you, and the fuel not in the plane are totally worthless Dudeist Skydiver # 10

Hey everyone, just wanna say hello. Im really new to the sport, just got off of student status and got my solo certificate this weekend past. I must say this sport is like nothing i have ever done. Just attitude of everyone that skydives, everyone is so enthusiastic and ready to help out the new guy. It all started last year when a buddy of mine and I decided to give the first jump course a go just to say that we parachuted. Well after the first jump its safe to say i was addicted. In the following weeks i went and did my static lines and IAD's to go to free fall, freefall was a blast but i just couldnt get myself stable. At this time the DZ was shuting down for winter and i wasnt sure if i would go back due to frustration of not getting stable. Well the spring came and the DZ opened up and i said what the hell lets try again. Sure enough with some more ground training and really enthusiastic instructors, i got stable in the air. Here it is just over a month later and off of student status and flying on my own As it stands now i have yet to meet a skydiver who is not absolutly addicted and now im proud to say that i am one to.

Hey, I was reading your post and being someone who just got off of student status (literally did my solo check out jump on the weekend ) i would share with you my experience. My first few freefalls were absolutly brutal, i was so scared in the plane and on exit i went right onto my back and stayed there until it was time to pull (5 and 10 second delays) and as im sure every one here will tell you, that is an extremely uncomfortable thing to do. I thought i would never get it and never be stable in the air. A winter went by and i decided to go out and keep trying. I got some really good instruction and tips and went up for 5 second delay, and low and behold i was stable. and from then on i became more comfortable and started really enjoying the sport. I think the big thing is, not to worry about your tunnel time, tunnel is a great trainer but after a lot of time you are going to be wore out and sore, just the nature of the beast. I think that you should focus on how much fun you had doing your tandems. Like i was told for every one of my jumps, the first and most important thing is to relax and have fun, if you can do that, everything else will follow with practice and with AFF you will get lots of practice and instruction by some excellent instructors im sure
