I’m going for my first jump soon in 12 years & only done 2 other tandems but yeah all I’m doing is watching skydiving videos cause I want to get my license

How long did it take you to engage your legs more? I have comparatively very little tunnel time prior to AFF but every jump it seems like i get the "use more legs" sign. And the strict 90° elbows and shoulders flying the AFFI wants just doesn't seem as stable. I'm only at C2 at this point but I'd really like to get my license before the season here in SC is over.

3:22 What did the tap on the arm mean?

Great Video, thanks for sharing the AFF jumps

Great video I really loved it especially because I am practically in the same position. I am an experienced tunnel flyer but have only ever done one tandem jump. I intend to pass my AFF soon. If you see this (I know the video is from 2 years ago) do you have any tips?

You able to fly with a full face on your AFF??

I think you must have $$$$$$$$$

Do you think it was easier to get your license having the tunnel experiance

wow very well made. I can only dream

Does anyone knows the name of music, which starts from 2:45? I would be glad if someone can help me to find it.

Great video man! Many thanks for putting this together

Quality jumps - other than your shirt coming out and blowing over your handles in FF I'd have been more than proud to do that well on my AFF jumps.

Thank you so much for this! I’m doing the tunnels right now and I’m hoping to start the AFF course next year. This was actually perfect

Blue Skies my Brothers🙃🙃😊😊

Amazing. How many hours of tunnel time do you think you had prior to entering AFF? How long did it take you to be decently proficient in the tunnel?

Amazing capture of your development, congrats to you, Sir!

I spent 10 years Jumping and later became a scuba Instructor used to freak people out with my fast arched descents Jumpings a long way down scuba is a long way up.

Thanks, I was looking for this video! Question: Im going on a AFF+A-Licence 2 weeks holiday next summer. What amount of tunnel time gives me the most advantage for making the most progress out of the 2 weeks? It is including 25jumps but I can book extra jumps after that. I want to push it as far and save as possible :) Zero skydive experience but many hours paramotor and paragliding experience. I dont know if that's a benefit.

Wooooooooow this is awesome, you are really great, gooood job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am going to jump too 😍😍😍 thanks for this so beautifull video of your journey to profi jumper 🎉

Just remember to keep checking your altimeter and do your safety checks! But the most important thing is DONT FORGET TO PUT YOUR PARACHUTE ON before you jump! Important things for a tunnel rat! 😊 Nothing beats the view from 14k feet! AND you have just “a tad” more room to maneuver! 😊 And with that tunnel experience it will be a lot easier for you to control your body and speed! Enjoy the rush my friend!

As far as for freefall, your instructor must have loved you!

Were you required to do Tandem? Or could you do AFF course immediately. Thanks for the video btw!

I came up under static-line progression and surplus military rounds. You needed 35 jumps to fly a PC 😂 Lotsa stories, lotsa hard landings. I was probably the last guy in Cali to land a 26' LoPo reserve. First squares were line-reefed, no slider. One of the sky-gods was killed under one at our DZ. Don't have to tell anybody; wind-tunnels and AFF are waay better...

Thanks for sharing your journey i enjoyed it! Did you ever have to cutaway?

This is a stunningly beautiful video story of your training in Utah --- music choices were top shelf; photography work was A-plus. The wind tunnel technology (e.g. iFLY) for "human bodyflight" might be the greatest advance for the sport of skydiving since the invention of the three-ring release and the advent of modern ram-air canopy designs. I totally agree that work in a tunnel with a good instructor (who is also an experienced skydiver) at the "front end" can (1) Build much confidence and (2) Improve student performances in the early AFF category steps when getting relaxed stability during freefall seems an insurmountable barrier to progress. My AFF "journey" was atypical: Long and with multiple gaps due to some health issues, two of which were life-threatening and required urgent surgery. When I did finally heal up and "come back" to get my A-license, I had accumulated about 25 hours in the tunnel, all with an amazing tunnel coach who is AFF-rated and without doubt an elite teacher in both the tunnel and in the sky. One fly in the ointment: Tunnel flying is so darned expensive that requiring a minimum amount of it as a prerequisite for entering AFF training will never become standard practice, although the cost of doing 15 minutes in the tunnel with a coach (in my city at least) is actually almost the same as the cost of repeating any AFF level that involves two instructors flying with the student. I think in retrospect that a smart strategy would be that every Newbie, with few exceptions, completes her/his First Jump, then does about 15 minutes in the tunnel before rejoining the AFF curriculum.

WOW, too cool!!! I love the progression visible in your jumps and the joy is clear. I sit here with 39 freefall jumps under my belt since starting the AFF and a big smile because I can feel my excitement through watching yours. Thank you very much for sharing and blue skies!!!

Beautiful!

Awesome. I have a B license and 115 jumps, I think I haven't gotten the stability you have on your first jump.

I am going to be doing ground school and hopefully get my A license next spring. Ive been tandem twice and fell in love. I am by iFly and will be going to the same DZ. Planning on doing some iFly during the winter, this video was awesome! Thanks for the inspiration.

Enjoyed this video, I had around 7hrs in the tunnel prior to aff. My (tunnel)instructor was a skydiver. Did the course in 3 jumps. So I spend about 7k to save 900ish lol At jump 85 and fall in love with the sport more every time I go. Totally in love with the tunnel also tho🎉🎉 Rock on!

I just did my 3rd jump. There is no better feeling in the world than this!

Cool vid, well done.thats Awsome.👍

Such an inspiring video!!! Thank u for posting it... I hope someday I will be able to jump too

Idk where this was but it looks like a MUCH better experience than I had at skydive Spaceland Dallas. If you go there, avoid brian unless you want to be paralyzed by the end of it

I wish all my students were that easy. I won't let them wear a full face helmet starting out though. Can make it difficult to see your emergency handles.

Superb.

Your video was awe inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

I go jump

Awesome!

Quick question, done a tandem skydive for the first time and absolutely loved it. I Was extremely calm in the situation due to no fear of heights and I was able to think very clearly. So I thought, why not do AFF? The only issue was, during my tandem, the arch positioning slipped out my mind at around 8,000ft. (I jumped from 15,000). Would you say tunnel time really helps you get used to the air and is worth investing in before aff? Thanks

Such a great talent! Love the singing and the guitar. Душевно!!!

Well done! You absolutely nailed it! I have cruised through AFF thanks to my hour and half before my first AFF jump. It is so so helpful, I continue to go once a month and i hope to be sit flying that quick myself!

great video :)

You’re the man! Thanks for the video!

What gets me is that the dz I'm at there are only very few instructors that are willing to to take time to even talk to you and if you don't say 1 word right before you start ep you are treated like crap. And that your never good enough.

Great video. We just started our tunnel time and passed L1 in 2 sessions and are working up to back flying. Question for you is how long did AFF take and were all the jumps at the beginning of the vid the same day/sesh?

5:42 What an insane buzz that must be for the first time

Well done

Thanks for posting this! I'm starting my A license at Skydive Utah in three weeks! Couldn't be more excited watching these videos!

Why Do Some People Find Thrill-Seeking Activities Such as Bungee Jumping or Skydiving Exciting Rather Than Scary? Whether it is bungee jumping, skydiving, other extreme sports, thrill-seeking theme park rides and even scary movies, in such instances we want to feel the limit and how we breach it: that we reach a state beyond our capabilities. We then enjoy the state. There is pleasure in exercising a certain level of control over fear. The pleasure of having control over fear then becomes stronger than the instinct of fear that surfaces. When fear dominates us, it feels like it penetrates every cell of our bodies, all the way to our bones’ marrow. That is why the pleasure we experience when we feel a certain level of control over fear is very powerful. However, if we felt that our lives had a higher eternal purpose, and we set ourselves on a path to attain that purpose, we would then feel no need for these kinds of transient pleasures, no matter how strong they are. We would also then not fear anything because we would see that we are controlled by the upper force, which wishes solely to develop us in order to benefit us with its eternal and perfect quality of love, bestowal and connection.
