    I did a tandem. Now I'm trying to get the balls to do a solo.

      Would you recommend it? I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I am not sure because it seems to be a very expensive hobby.

    This guy looks like me on my first free fall jump. I happened to survive four hundred and four jumps (who's counting anyway) and I proudly hold SCS #380 from the stone age jumping days. The SCS meant you entered the star at the #8 position or above which took some relative work expertise, or so we thought.

    folks....best advise is master your pre-jump EPs. understand your LZ approach...don't fuck up your final leg on landing...meaning don't flair too early, legs together, knees up the last 15 ft to the ground. way too many ankle injuries for beginning CAT jumpers.

    What would you say was the most difficult part during the first few jumps ?

    • @americanveteranaceshigh9051
      @americanveteranaceshigh9051 Год назад +3

      AAF...final descent into the box...make sure you fully understand flair procedures...and flair too early...PLF your legs up towards your chest the final 15 ft. on my first jump, i did follow what I noted...high and low grade 2 ankle sprains. friendly advice. resumed 2 months later...made my next jump....now on jump 22 to my CAT A.

    • @Mark.LaBarge
      @Mark.LaBarge  10 месяцев назад +1

      The hardest part of the first few jumps is making sure you don’t get sensory overloaded. At least for me. Stay focused!
