Such a well put together explanation video of AFF & perfect narration of it! Well done! Made me want to get back into it again after a long lull. I loved it & miss it. This video convinced me what I'm missing out on. I'm not living my life to the fullest & missing out. This is living! Skydiving is living! You won't understand that until you jump AFF! Thanks so much for a perfect video & being a positive influence on the sport.
Thanks mate! Blue skies!
I am 13 but I can't wait intill I van jump out of an aeroplane
Eeyyyyy...
Skydive Jurien Bay ✈️ nice and well explained.
NINJA FROG. Do Indoor Skydiving if you can mate. You can do all of these moves and learn them all before you even jump out of a plane.
As a retired skydiver, I still get a lot of people asking me about the training and what it's like to get into jumping. Now I have a video that I can refer them to. Thank you so much for making this video.
Wait but how do you know when to deploy the parachute?
@@angelramirez6842 they have an altitude monitor on their arms. they deploy at above certain height.
@@GForceConnections thank u, cuz i want to go skydiving with friends, and i kinda want to learn a lil
@@GForceConnections At what altitude should one deploy and what altitude is it too late to deploy
@@himself187 not a skydiver (jet) but here's what i've read: height depends on which licence you have: A licence - 3000 ft., B licence - 2500 ft, C licence - 2000 to 1500 ft. 1000 ft is the minimum height and you should only jump at that height in case of a plane malfunction during take off.
Missed opportunity to add into the of title this video “crash course”
Hahaha nice one!
Really nice one xD
Already done my first. I fell in love. I have the financial security to invest in this training. Its hella cheap after certification
How much is it after ther certificate
Well, when i did my tandem, people who jumped solo paid like 25 or 30 euros for a 14 k feet jump
I believe its 14000-foot jump
Charles Bennett Depends where you are, certification and all is 150-500$ depending how much training and types. After that 14,000ft jumps are 20-40$ and some places even offer like 9,000ft or something at 14-25$
@@raulcalma-deal8792 This is not correct. Nowhere in the world is it that cheap to get certified for solo jumps. For your standard A class license it costs about $3,000 minimum, assuming no re jumps. Here is the place I got my license from. www.thejumpingplace.com/product/uspa-a-license-course/
Listening to the instructor explaining each stage really makes me want to join the team :)
Hi
I am a certified skydiver (A license), but after having a season off and
still being a rookie, I find this video very helpful to me, since I
have forgotten some of the basic steps. I will go back and focus on my
fast fall, slow fall and tracking.
Thanks for doing this video.
Awesome dude, good luck and have fun!
panzerkitsune urte
How much roughly is the AFF course all stages? & Over how many days if not daily? Thanks
Hi
I just did my first tandem and really thinking about getting the license. i will prolly do few more tandem to see how i really feel about it but my first tandem was awesome. i though i would be scared but got so god damn excited when the door opened 14000 ft up in the air. instructor asked who wanted to go first, i was like me me without hesitation. scenery was also so beautiful. can't wait to do another one.
Please dont stop - keep doing what you like and make you excited :)
I did my first tandem and it was a lot, second was way better and from then on I knew I wanted to get my license. I’m still about 10 jumps from my A license. Taking IAD not AFF
Live your life to the fullest man 👍
Did you get your AFF license?
Did not realize how technical this was, motivated to learn to do this.. very cool....
It's certainly more technical than paratrooping: they just kick you out of the airplane, the parachute automatically deploys, bon voyage and good luck with the landing! hahaha
Absolutely gorgeous scenery
What an awesome video.
Best video for those wanting to know what AFF is all about.
Michal Chruscinski yes all I want to know know is whats the feeling like if we are 1G, our own body weight normally then how many more times than 1 am I when falling? I'm also talking about the whole duration not just exit or at terminal velocity
@@leetyler3713 you would only ever feel a max of 1g net force downwards
I did my first sky dive a few days ago and now I'm hooked. Definitely thinking about pursuing AFF. This video increased that desire by a lot haha
Good on ya pal. Hope you do.
Great video! I did a harnessed jump last month, and am doing ground school and first jump in two days. This is incredibly helpful -- no clue a skydiver had so much control over direction, turns, etc. in freefall. But with that first harnessed jump I had no sense of "falling" -- it was more like riding a motorcycle at 120 mph. Wonderful sport!!
Best AFF walkthrough for someone brand new
Nice! Where do you jump?
I have done 2 tandems,and are starting my 1-7level AFF course in april. And Im 43yrs and a grandmother to a 5yr old. So it is never too late to start skydiving!!!!!
Yo go girl!
I love the way he explained everything so good that i felt like im the student there in aircraft :) well done lads !!
Very best explanation I've ever seen 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I ride motorcycles at the track, and skydiving is about tied maybe slightly ahead for the levels of adrenaline and dopamine it delivers. I had no idea using a chute would be as fun as it was. holding a tight turn for a few rotations felt like I was flying through a corner at 130mph on my bike.
Great job guys!! You really encourage people with a couple of tandems to start thinking seriously the possibility to go the AFF path. Well done!! Almost before starting my AFF here in Greece and awaiting the moment I would be able to fly solo above the Aegean Islands to see the crystal clear green and blue waters from 14,000 feet and then land to the most beautiful beach of the world. Just offloading the equipment and dive in those waters. Lets see if I ever be able to implement it....:-) Congrats again and again!!!
Best thing on youtube!! Loved it. So brilliantly explained!
just started 2 weeks ago, going for my t3 this Sunday. looks easy, but it's more challenging to learn than you might think when your falling st 120mph!
Sounds very hard
My course will be in this week
This is the best video on AFF course explanation that I’ve seen so far
I'm taking the AFF course this Monday May 14th in Sebastian, Florida and the funny thing is that I've watched this video about 20 times in the last 3 months trying to get ready for it. Truth is before you do your AFF course do a Tandem and learn everything to do with SKYDIVING, glossary, vocabulary, lingo, malfunctions, emergency procedures, parachutes parts and their functions, toggles, risers, slider, pilot chute, cutaway, reserve, watch hundreds of skydiving videos and analyze their form and technique, study the USPA A license Exam and Flashcards and learn and memorize everything you can about this sport. It's a good head start. You won't regret it. That being said this video is no doubt my TO GO video anytime I forget something and is clearly the best video on the internet regarding the AFF course since it's explained down to the bone. Thanks for getting me so prepared!!!
Oh man, that's so good to hear. We actually never anticipated the huge positive response from the video. I mean, we wanted to create something great, but from all the comments it has become clear that it's the worlds number one video when it comes to learning to skydive solo. So thank you for sharing your feedback and we wish you great success in the sport. Blue skies
Absolutely first class video. Maximum respect.
cheers man
Thanks SO much for this! I’m about to begin my AFF course and this was exactly what I was looking for in preparation- I want to be good at it haha. Great explanation of skydiving techniques and movements. Cheers 🙏🏼
You're welcome. Come jump with us some day !
I've never skydived but this was so helpful for understanding why they do what they do. Thanks
Do you ever plan to try it at least? You should! ;)
@@SkydiveVibes I would like to but I have back issues. Not sure if that disqualifies me. It was on my bucket list though.
That's it. I'm ready to jump.
SniperShiv I don’t think he’s ok. It’s been a year.
@@acooldog8259 He might have just forgotten to reply. Doesn't mean he's dead
@@dyek0o401 no he’s dead. I know him; he choked on a pretzel a few days after his first jump. Tragic.
@@sofaslippers7634 lol wtf! 🥨😂
@@sofaslippers7634 Oh my...I'm so sorry, that's tragic indeed.
sick video, clear tips. doing my AFF course this weekend lets see what happens!
How did it go?
Yeah how did it go ?
asser loko he died
@@eddieg1386 RIP
RIP
Best AFF instruction & explanation video! Thank you very much for making this video and putting in all the effort
you're welcome. Thank you!
I had my first tandem yesterday and I’m nervous about next weeks second tandem because after that my training starts. It’s easy to enjoy the ride when you have an instructor tied to you. It’s scary at the idea that any wrong movement as a soloist can have a huge impact on me. I guess it’s the same as driving a car. It’s not scary when you know how to handle a complication
Brilliant stuff, I wish I had done this before I broke my back, looks like an excellent sport.
Looking forward to commencing my course at Tooradin here in Melbourne on the 14th of January next year.
AWesome, all the best Eddie
This is really cool vid, also crying because I haven’t been back to Australia since I was a child in 1996. So it’s really beautiful to see the landscape from that high. Bravo 😢😎🤗
I booked my AFF-course this sunday! Sooo excited and terrified after this video! Haha. Cant wait to be solo jumper!
im sitting here after my first tandem experience , watching this video with my mom behind saying , you cant be doing that , dont go there , its dangerous . im applying for the aff course in 2021. i wanna fly.
Hell ya man
Love the calm, soothing voice. A combination of golf commentator and a commercial for a personal hygiene product, LOL !
One of the best vids out there !
Just did my second tandem, I’m hooked.
I wish I had the time and money to take a course in my 20s. But I was blessed to go twice in my life! Once in Australia 🇦🇺 👌🏾
Excellent narrative and explanation to the steps, this Saturday I will start my AFF, can't wait.
Thanks for the video !!
What a great looking school you guys have there, your students all did very well considering what stages the were only up to...
One thing I always really enforce on my students is altitude awareness, even though I only get a few jumps in every few weeks or so these days, I hate been lucky with my skydiving career getting certified at 17, and 20 years later still loving every chance I can get to jump, but I am still pretty much flying every day at the gliding school I'm a CFI at, but even in its vastly different yet similar characteristics of the two sports, I still find it absolutely imperative that my students remain altitude aware of their surroundings at all times, something I can tell you really enforce to become a habit for your students.
Great video for those who are thinking about getting certified, or curious, you covered all areas pretty well for all to understand...
Blue skies my friends :)
Dylan spiers good on ya bud, and trust me, if you weren’t nervous, I’d be worried!
15 years of BASE jumping and I felt sick often at launch, it’s only natural champ, but this is why you don’t let mates try and give you tips on what to do, you save your coin, hang out at the DZ as often as you can, meet people, talk to people, get to know the veterans and high numbers jumpers mate, be a part of the scene so when you’re ready to start your course you will feel more at home.
I don’t jump as often anymore, Paragliging takes up a lot of my time teaching and flying, but I’m glad I did my AFF when I did, and was lucky enough to gain numbers pretty quickly and end up behind the lens as I quite rapidly climbed through my licensing.
You will be fine mate.
I’ll get my IT guy to message you when he can from out schools account, we mix it up a bit and he’s a skydiver and BASE jumper also, so he’s a good person to chat too, and honestly, speak to as many people as you can and address any fears or nerves mate, but you’re not going to have time to be nervous once you start, you will be wanting to be back in that plane as soon as you can haha
Well done young fella 👊🏼
I went through the category system in the UK in the late 1980's. I haven't skydived for about 25 years. The student(s) in the video seemed to develop confidence much faster than I and my fellow students did, but when it came to the more difficult stuff like turning and tracking they seemed to struggle more.
I plan on Skydiving soon for the first time and this was very informative and helpful.
Hey Scott, where do you plan to do it? I highly recommend to go for it!
Skydive Vibes We plan on learning balance, stability, control and all the basics at Flyaway Indoor Skydiving in Pigeon Forge Tennessee throughout the winter. Here in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, we have skydiving. I'm watching every video here on UA-cam to learn. I've paid quite a lot of attention to the jumps that are titled Fails because they teach you what mistakes are being made.
Because Ifly Indoor Skydiving in Pigeon Forge Tennessee is 4 h 27 min (254.9 mi) away, I plan on booking 3-4 hours of tunnel time and staying in a nearby hotel for 2-3 days. It's my goal throughout the winter to overcome my mistakes and any bad habits that I may develop. One advantage of living in the south is, winters are short and spring comes sooner. Quite often during the winter months, we have a lot of nice warm days so there's always a good chance of achieving my AFF Course and training before summer comes around in April-May
I’m interested to know how the first skydivers figured this stuff out without instructors.
I wish had ten jumps 20 years ago loved it so much I'm afraid these days the sensory overload would be to much for me , but great vids thanks
Wow, I see that the activities in freefall during the AFF course have changed a bit in the 32 years since I did it. The hand signals for communication in freefall are more numerous than what I was taught. Progress, I guess!
Excellent video, thanks for putting together!
Appreciate how clear and detailed each stage are. I like to hear the theory a while before doing it for real and this shows it brilliantly. Makes sense how the course pulls everything together now👍
Great simplification - bet you're an awesome instructor.
Agree, one of the best!
Heath (voice over) is a fantastic instructor!
You should make more videos like this. It is currently the best teaching video on youtube!
Thanks mate! 270,000 views! we cant believe it!
Just jumped tandem last week. I'd love to learn how to jump solo. Nice video brodhi.
the day will come, i will be sky diving solo.
helpful video
Rohit Rathod has the day come yet?
Hoping to take this course as a gift to myself for my 30th the end of this year. Can’t wait!!!
How exciting!!
Thank you very much! Now im at a skydiving plane and you helped me to learn how to skydive, i hope this works thx
Best AFF instruction & explanation video! Thanks creator!!!
You're welcome
Great video as I'm going to be doing the AFF course very soon, just did two tamdem jumps in the last month ready to move forward!! Thanks agains
Hey Where do you plan to do it?
It's still almost the same as when I did my AFF in Nelson, NZ during the mid 90s. Only thing I noticed different is the students are using a throw away from the first jump. I was always away at sea for up to 21 weeks at a time, so could not stay current. Only made 70 jumps.
Now m ready to Jump , all I was searching for was a video how to do. Keep ur phone handy , don’t forget to see the tutorial immediately if u forget some thing on the way down👍☮️
I can't believe the pull system is so hard to reach !
PACKARD Josy it’s not lol it’s a giant ball on your back
They want u to die
It's not. If you can't touch your ass you need to get your shoulder checked out.
Wow i just like watching Skydiving for fun!
I was under the impression that pointing in any direction with your index finger means pull main canopy. A thumbs down means arch harder.
I would be scared of manovering the canopy… getting to the ground too fast by doing the landing pattern too late or too early. But I swear I would really like to try this once in my life! Great video!
Just breathe, relax, and trust the process. We go over everything comprehensively on the ground so all our students are ready.
this is so well explained and can see how theyre getting better with each fall :) great video
Very thorough explanations. Well done.
Thanks Reg! Come learn with us some day

Makes me jealous getting to do freefall from the get go, im doing a forced launch course that requires 6 jumps with a harness that immediatly opens the cute before getting into 3,5 and 10 sec freefalls.
I didn't understand how can someone be able to skydive solo after just 9 jumps, every time I see the AFF training video I got sweats on my palm. But after your explanation, I feel way less scared than before, and I am planning to do this course in the near future:)
Thanks for making this. It’s hard to understand what the course entails, but this really makes it clear! Great video
I did tandem for my 29th bday. I really would like to learn how to solo jump bc I’m an adrenaline junkie. I have a lil fear though about how you learn n navigate down. That’s why I’m watching bc I’ve been curious. I feel that if I learn how to solo jump I’ll unlock something in me. Greatness!!
I just turned 18 and I'm at a point where I'm doing shit like this before I miss my chance
How's it going Im thinking of doing this when I turn 18 next year lol
Im 39 with a wife and two kids, i just finished AFF :D a guy at my dropzone is mid 50th and just got his C license, there is no such thing as missing your chance :)
Good thinking
I’ve been considering doing the AFF course in New Zealand ever since doing a tandem in Sydney back in dec 2017. But i’ve been super nervous/ excited to do it, after watching this my nerves have really subsided.
It’s just a perfect video!!! 👍👍👍 Respect for the creator!
Cheers and thank you.
Very well explained step by step...
Nice, we have the additional headshake "No More work" and then the wave and the pull:-)
I’d worry, because I get cramps real easy, so if I get a cramp in the air, I’d panic, because it’s real painful for me.
i dont think youd cramp up. go on a tandem jump and see how you like it
Thank you for sharing, I'm pretty excited to jump
Thank you for this video. It's concise and very informative. I'm gonna watch it again.
Awesome video! I just uploaded my skydive jump in The Netherlands from 12.000ft. Pretty dope!
Same.
This is great! The details provided make me more confident I want to take up skydiving! 👍
Thanks a lot . Next year will be my AFF.
Alex Kravetz have you done it? And if yes how did it go?
Ever since I watched the power ranger movie when I was 4 I wanted to be a pro sky diver. I grew up in a tourist town in New Zealand and we always passed the airport where they use to take off and land at and it was always my dream to work there lmao
Very expert instructors....
I wish to be part of this organisation
So basically that's 2000 something dollars just for this, got it, thanks, seems fun, added to the "must try it someday" bucket list...
this was very helpful while i was learning in AFF. All the hand signals didnt match with the dz i jumped at but the fundamentals are the same. Thanks!
Great video, from Chicago! My jump site is (was) Skydive Chicago! I need to get back to this ....
Show up having never jumped before: "No, I don't need instruction, I watched a video on UA-cam."
That was money !!! Beautiful DZ !! One day soon I plan to AFF!!!
You guys are so lucky. Living life to the full. I would love to do this, but I'm probably a bit old and overweight. 54yrs, and 18 stone 6 feet tall. Maybe it will give me the incentive to lose weight. Keep safe guys, and happy flying.
chriskeenan1 Go for it. I did the course a few months back at 32 (15 stone), another bloke with me was 55. Might have to lose a bit of weight but it's incentive to do so yeah.
I’d be glued to the altimeter. Think I’d pull super early and have a nice long and cold ride.
After 2 tandem jumps , I know I want to get my certification to skydive solo, but what scares me the most, is controlling the parachute after deploying. You're guided, but still, it's the first time and you're on your own up there. Shit must be crazy.
Nice video, Going for my first AFF jump on coming weekend. So excited !
that was amazing!
I can see the could below you , I can not think of a better feeling than that
Omgosh omgosh this is going to be my most favorite thing to save up for I'm so nervous when the time arrives!
Im enjoying watching here❤❤❤😊
That was amazing....scares me to think about it but wanna do it so badly.
I'm taking my AFF course in 9 hours and I can barely sleep from excitement! Wish me luck!
How did it go?
I made it to stage 3 before cancelling due to COVID cases suddenly spiking where I live (Arizona, USA)
I do plan on restarting this year!
@@reedsteed2127 awesome job! Hope it all goes well for you, I'm hoping to start this year
I never been sky diving it looks fun I would like to get at least the basic down of skydiving before committing doing it
Super informative, and it looks like a lot of fun! But I'll stick with paragliding for now, I like checking my wing before overhead before being in the air :D
Awesome video and interesting even for a non skydiver. Cheers.
Amazing video, better narration thanks a lot enjoyed every single time watching it, as i ll be taking aff courses soon :)
This helped me so much, learned a lot in the video and got confident, perfectly explained with great video quality.
Now an A licensed skydiver 😁🪂🙏🏻
Thank you for this, its now a piece that changed my life.
Add in all the stuff you learn on the ground..You can do the whole course in one week...Just have money and time. When you finish.. As the rig itself is around $7,000.00 US.....
