      @@mtube1720 yes but it’s more like a passport (I flash it on the screen at the start of the video that’s what it looks like). As far as I am aware it’s still advised to leave a maximum of 6 weeks between jumps while you’re still new or some drop zones will make you prove yourself again depending on how long it’s been that could range from a quick refresh, a check out jump (1 instructor) or maybe even another ground school if it’s been a super long time. Then when you move on to B and C license it gets slightly less important to stay as current. Check with the drop zone you’ll be jumping at though, this is just a rough guide from my experience.

    Thank you for putting this together. In February, I suffered a displaced trimalleoloar fracture that sidelined me for six months. 14 screws and 2 plates later, I am eager to get back in the air and finish my A license (19 jumps to go!). Watching this video and all of the good flares really helped because I flared too late because I landed short on the tarmac.

    The explanation is so clear that it sounds easy, but I also know that the falling sensation is the most difficult for me when it comes to nausea. That would be a distraction from the hand signals and cord positions...

    • @rule1dontgosplat
      @rule1dontgosplat 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I actually didn't feel like I was falling. When we jumped out of the plane it was more of a roll. We rolled over completely once and by the time we were facing the ground we were going really fast. At that point it's just a lot of wind. To me, it felt like I was standing outside in a hurricane, instead of falling. The ground is so far away at first you don't get a perspective like you're falling towards it. Then when they pop the chute, you're going down AND forward at about 1 foot down for every 3 forward. There's no sense of falling at that point.

    Fantastic video. I did my first tandum jump a couple weeks ago from 15,00ft and have just booked in to the AFF next month. Hopefully I don't have to retake any levels but at the end of kf the day, I'll do them all as many times as necessary to ensure my safety. More worried about having the strength to maintain control etc and landing in the right area than anything.

    • @AdamRadcliffe
      @AdamRadcliffe  ปีที่แล้ว

      Glad you enjoyed your tandems mate! Definitely not recommended to get your own rig for the first year until you’ve done at least 50 jumps (because you will downsize). Of course you know your financial situation best and the kid needs to come first however it is a fantastic hobby. I would say, like all extreme sports ‘needing’ to do it might not be the healthiest mindset. You’re looking at around £2k for the AFF and £40 a jump ish after that

    Thanks for summarizing your experience! I am thinking about doing the AFF training.

How fit does one have to be for the AFF training?

      @AdamRadcliffe  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Only one way to find out hahahaha 🤣 just kidding, it’s not really about balance more about symmetry and relaxing, & no you don’t have to be fit at all, just not obese or at cardiac risk, you just have to be able to bend at the hips in order to arch your body

    Hi
    What is the best time of year to begin your AFF in UK. I am from Nottingham. Hoping to do the course at languar.
    Also is it beneficial to do some tunnel time to practice manoeuvres?
    Your help Adam would be greatly appreciated 🙏 xx

    • @AdamRadcliffe
      @AdamRadcliffe  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Karen thanks for commenting! Summer is definitely most common as its warmer and more pleasant but there is no best time as long as the skies are clear and its not too windy for students. Best to check with Langar if they're doing AFF over the winter and go for it if you don't want to wait till summer. Also I would recommend doing AFF Levels 1-3 without tunnel time as they are super easy and require no skill. Then when you get to Level 4 you may find you get on with turns quite well and so no tunnel time required just keep smashing through it. Typically if people fail a level a couple of times then they look in to tunnel time. Its just about weighing up the costs for yourself, I wanted to do it as cheaply as possible so risked no tunnel time and was fine. Hope this all helps and all the best!

    • @mattwoodford1820
      @mattwoodford1820 ปีที่แล้ว

      Spring is the best time because, although it is a bit colder, you can get your courser underway and be able to enjoy your license in the summer and start progressing onto different aspects of the sport starting with learning to fly with other people (search Fly4Life for inspiration). Take one jump at a time rather than trying to focus too far ahead and enjoy cos you only get your first times once! Langar is a great DZ, they should get you though your AFF in good time! Hope to see you in the skies :)

      The British Skydiving system is slightly different from the USPA system. That might be where the confusion comes from

    Hello, I am very interested in the sport of skydiving, however I often find written tests difficult. I have searched for it on the internet, but I find very little to nothing on this subject. I would like to get the USPA A License. Can you give me some info about the test? Is it recommended to practice for it beforehand? If so, where can I find information about it?

    • @AdamRadcliffe
      @AdamRadcliffe  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey mate, it is barely any writing from what I remember, mainly multiple choice and few word answers. (This was for the British Skydiving license not USPA). I would recommend learning basic hand signals before your course - otherwise everything I mentioned in this video is enough to know going into the course
