I’ve only done Level 2 at Langar due to work and weather but watching this big smiles all round from me! Fantastic watching and can’t wait to be back in the air to complete my course! Blue skies my friend!
Man this motivates me all the time to keep saving up and losing weight to do my AFF for November. So excited! Love your video too passed all of them every time 👍👍
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. I saw that your journey into skydiving started with a Red Devils tandem, I’m doing a tandem next month (18th of May) with The Red Devils and I’m super excited for it, I already know I’m going to want to do the AFF after! Congratulations again, stay safe and Blue Skies 🤙☀️🎉xxx
Get some tunnel time if possible, and then Relax and enjoy the journey. Don’t put to much pressure on yourself and listen to the instructors. You won’t regret it.
This is awesome to see. Im begining to save towards doing my AFF course now. Whats it like finding groups to go out with around the UK? I've looked online but can only see tandem skydives, is it hard to find groups of licensed skydivers in the UK to jump with each week/month?
I jump at Skydive Langar, when you do your AFF, you will meet loads of brilliant people, I don’t go down with anyone, but can always find someone to chat to, or jump with. They are all a brilliant bunch, like a second family.
@@neilowens8013 thanks for replying 😊 that's great to hear! I live down south so looking to go to Skydive Buzz to do mine. Hopefully will be able to make some friends around there to jump with beyond my AFF
Did my AFF at Langar in 1992 with Dave Hinkley and Dave Morris. Had to repeat 1 level (number 6 I think) but completed in 9 skydives. Shat myself, not literally, doing my final jump on my own. Great times and great camaraderie back then. Had 4 years of jumping before coming to Asia where sadly there was no skydiving.
For the first few levels you have a radio (think you can see it on the side of my helmet). Someone on the ground the talks you down. After a few jumps you know what to do. High recommend giving it a go.
I paid £1800, that was all 8 AFF levels and 10 consol jumps. Costs will go up if you fail a level and have to retake one. This was a package deal at Langer. Not sure about other drop zones. Worth every single penny.
Go on the Langar Facebook group and contact someone about tunnel time, it will be money well spent. The instructors teach pre AFF in the tunnel. The experience is second to none, most amazing thing you will ever do.
Hi man, great video. Looking to do my full course at Langar next month and was just wondering if you did the residential there aswell? If so what was it like, cheers
Hi. I just travelled down each day, was easier as Covid rules etc when I did mine. It’s an amazing place, super friendly. Some of the guys camped for the week. You will have a blast. Well done.
Well done! Test book. I had a financial question.. Did you save up for the AFF, AND subsequent qualifying jumps and your own gear all at once or you kept paying gear rental? Thanks mate!
Hi, yes saved for the full course, and luckily passed all levels first time. Then started to build equipment, the instructors at Langar were brilliant in advising what to buy and when. Renting club canopy is a good way to go while saving up. Worth every penny.
Congratulations on passing💪🏼👊🏼 I can’t wait to do my course Obviously pricing differs from different schools,but was just wondering how much it cost per day or jump once you’ve got your level 8 so that you can add more solo jumps to your license?
@@neilowens8013 The wind noise makes it feel more real. Watch the HALO videos. 2 minutes of wind and it makes it awesome. They would be ruined by cheesy music.

Well I hope to see you down there soon. You will soon smash it out, time and weather is the tough bit. Enjoy every second
Excellent instructors!
@@homeofcreation they definitely are the best.
As an AAF student from the late 80’s I can say all 7 levels are similar. Not an active jumper now but takes me back. Nice.
Thanks, you should come back and jump again
I did my first tandem two days ago at langar and am booked for my AFF next Monday 😆🤙 so excited !!!
That brilliant, hope to see you down there. It’s the best thing ever.
Thrilling experience please take care
Safety comes first in this sport. So I will thank you
Man this motivates me all the time to keep saving up and losing weight to do my AFF for November. So excited! Love your video too passed all of them every time 👍👍
Absolutely do it, best thing ever, loads of new friends too.
I didn’t get to do it November but I will be doing it this year 100%!! 😝
Did you do it mate?
@@jathomas274had a few set backs :( but paid my deposit and booked for January 2024, losing weight fast. No stopping this time 💪
@@ryanandrews321 Let us know if you got your AFF yet!
Well done fella, I'm hoping to complete soon. Rapid progress, looks like conditions were good too
@@chuckmorrismtb thanks, it was good fun. Tunnel time prior to AFF was definitely worth it. Was so lucky with the weather too. Enjoy your journey
@@neilowens8013 are you still jumping or was it just an itch that needed scratching
@@chuckmorrismtb still jumping, not as much as I would like, but still love every jump
@@neilowens8013 great stuff. Will look at tunnel trainer
This is on my bucket list!
Seriously, just do it. It’s something you won’t regret, if you don’t do it, you will spend a lifetime wondering. Good luck.
Excellent! I only had time to watch your tandem snippet and your level 1 dive, but you looked very relaxed and in control. 👍
Bro the veiw in some of them 😮
There was like no clouds ❤❤❤❤
It was incredible, you could see the coast in Norfolk from Nottingham.
Great video!
Thank you
I am truly excited to do this but will skip the tandem jump and just go straight to lv1
Many people do, I loved the tandem, it’s what made me realise that this is what I wanted to do. Good luck, you will love it.

I might be down on the 18th. It’s an amazing experience, you will love it. Have fun
@@neilowens8013 ahhh fantastic! Come say hello if your at the DZ that day! I can’t wait congratulations again on passing your AFF! Xx
I’ve watched this a few times now. So. Lose to booking myself. Great vid mate
Book it, I promise you won’t regret it. The most amazing feeling ever.
I will definitely be signing up!
You won’t regret it, it amazing
Well done and welcome to Skydiving! I'm 7 jumps away from my A license and can't wait to start working on my B next, lol! 😁👍🏼
Love it
Thank you. It’s awesome fun
Congratulations 👏🏼
Thank you.
You looked super stable in the air 👌
Thanks. Definitely helps doing some tunnel time before AFF.
Awesome! I’ll be starting my AFF by the end of October. Excited but equally nervous. Any tips my friend 😊
Get some tunnel time if possible, and then Relax and enjoy the journey. Don’t put to much pressure on yourself and listen to the instructors. You won’t regret it.
Very helpful thanks
Glad you enjoyed, hope you take up this wonderful sport.

Dave is still there and jumping, and still a great place.
Iv just done my 1st tandem I want to do the aff the only bit I’m worried about is landing part have u got someone on the ground telling u what to do
For the first few levels you have a radio (think you can see it on the side of my helmet). Someone on the ground the talks you down. After a few jumps you know what to do. High recommend giving it a go.
Thanks for sharing - Would you suggest a rough overall cost from to complete the AFF
I paid £1800, that was all 8 AFF levels and 10 consol jumps. Costs will go up if you fail a level and have to retake one. This was a package deal at Langer. Not sure about other drop zones. Worth every single penny.
Planning to do the residential there this year, is that what you did Neil?
I did it in a week, but travelled each day, some camped. It is a super friendly place and amazing instructors. Hopefully see you down there.
@@neilowens8013 Look forward to it. I honestly can't wrap my head around what freefall will be like. Very excited to try it. All the best.
Go on the Langar Facebook group and contact someone about tunnel time, it will be money well spent. The instructors teach pre AFF in the tunnel. The experience is second to none, most amazing thing you will ever do.
how was it learning to parachute down after the free fall?
For the first few jumps you have a radio and get talked down by the instructor. It’s a beautiful time floating around enjoying the view.
Made it look easy since level 1. Lol.
Thanks, it’s an awesome sport.
u look smooth
Thanks, some tunnel time before starting AFF was definitely the key.
@@neilowens8013 I've done tunnel time, still not as smooth. Will keep at it.
Hi man, great video. Looking to do my full course at Langar next month and was just wondering if you did the residential there aswell? If so what was it like, cheers

I can’t wait to do my course
Obviously pricing differs from different schools,but was just wondering how much it cost per day or jump once you’ve got your level 8 so that you can add more solo jumps to your license?
I pay £26 for the jump then £14 to hire their kit. Price reduces if you book blocks of 10
Nice 1 thanks for getting back to me…
Why does every skydive video have to have to most cringe music blasting over it?
@@SOLDOZER because otherwise there is just horrendous white noise, which make them almost impossible to watch. I tried to keep the music low.
@@neilowens8013 The wind noise makes it feel more real. Watch the HALO videos. 2 minutes of wind and it makes it awesome. They would be ruined by cheesy music.
