Jump 178 - Skydive Perris



Third coaching jump with Eli. On the
debrief of the previous jump he recommended
that I use a straight side-by-side leg
position instead of the more complex daffy.
His thinking was that it would allow me to
stop worrying about my legs.

I gave it a shot and it worked. Instead of
oscillating between leg problems and arm
problems I only had arm problems. Well, I
still had leg problems, but they were less
extreme. I felt a lot more stable in the
air and was able to move the arms a bit.

This was my most stable jump of the day and
it's the one that I learned the most from.
