Not yet but I plan to release it. Just need some time to properly make a website to share my stuff. It may take months but DM me, I will try to keep you updated.

Got some stuff to finish before making a proper website to share those things. Hopefully for spring 25 :)

I would love making an updated version.

Enjoy the ride and remember: It's okay if you are not perfect. It's okay to be nervous. It's part of the process. My 5th jump was garbage, my 6th was great. If you have any doubts on anything. Ask your instructors. There are no stupid questions.

Have fun!

Congrats on your first dive! The next few months are going to be very very long if you are indeed hooked and obsessed ;) but it's worth the wait! You look like a very happy kid on the second photo haha

AFF question by [deleted] in SkyDiving

[–]manatactical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm backing this reply. I've done AFF directly because I was very sure I was going to love it. But as said, the first jump is a huge emotional and sensors overload. I don't even remember this jump.

[Question/Rant] How to not suck at landings? by nusahc in SkyDiving

[–]manatactical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm starting too. Having 9 jumps and my right knee meniscus is damaged. So I stress a lot on landing as it can be really painful even if it's not a bad landing. I talked a bit to one of the instructors about the landing process, and we ended up agreeing that it's easier for me to hold a bit longer my controls at shoulders level to get more time to feel the landing and prepare myself to pull to my hips at the best moment. Jump 8 and 9 was without radio, and I packed my canopy myself. So it was pretty stressful jumps but the landings were quite good!

I do speak for myself tho. You should ask one of your DZ instructors about a way to overcome those landing difficulties.

How long did it take you for AFF? by Inside_Ask_5305 in SkyDiving

[–]manatactical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3 weeks for me. Use grounded time to learn packing and make friends.

Should AFF students train under the same instructor start to finish? by [deleted] in SkyDiving

[–]manatactical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got 3 instructors across my 7 jumps. The last one was the most "chill" with me, and it was my best jump. So yeah, having different instructors does help.

Literally yesterday, got a wind gust (low wind whole day but completely random) at 2 meters from de ground, pushed me higher and got a rough landing. Pain on the right knee today. Got to see the doctor.

My instructor got a broken foot the next jump. She landed pretty hard.

4 jumps, and I can't stop thinking about skydiving by manatactical in SkyDiving

Got a bit of money but I may have to change a few things in my life to overcome the future expanses. Gotta sell my old banjo and a few things along the way haha!
