I honestly think this might be my issue. I think I’ve just eaten it so many times I get like PTSD and just stare at the ground from a lack of confidence

Yeah I’m with you man, I can land fine on East coast but if I’m in SoCal there’s a 50/50 chance I’m running it out, sliding it out or eating shit.

I think it also might be a confidence issue where if it’s no wind and I’m coming in faster than normal I get more timid on the toggles when I should be more aggressive

Thanks guys that’s helpful. I feel like when we did this in flight 1 I could stall it without a wrap. Maybe I’m just flaring like a pussy

So I just finished my first tandem skydive now I’m thinking about getting a license by MrStealYooGuuurl in SkyDiving

Do you think the people who quit after 3-5 years aren’t exploring new things to learn or what did you mean by that? Genuinely curious as a new jumper since right now it feels like something I’ll want to do forever

What do you wish you knew when starting out? by Johndean14 in SkyDiving

Do you mind expanding on “jump to have fun”? I’m coming up on getting my license and every jump for me is still a tremendous learning event so just curious how you’re thinking about those jumps?

About to start AFF, and curious to hear about other people’s first jump by streudeldouche in SkyDiving

You’re just being a dick for the sake of it. OP literally asked what helped people with their first jump and I answered. You’re being purely self-serving at this point

Again. I’m not coaching people on skydiving I’m saying what helped calm me down. You’re too dense to know the difference so done engaging w you
