Here he is just after exit . Curling up in a ball and hurling yourself out the door is something you will become happy with sooner than you might realise on an AFF course, For Brad this is a tried and tested exit technique since his AFF level seven.


Many people notice the wind shaping peoples cheeks in freefall. Any experienced skydiver will tell you that whilst not always flattering its actually a sign of complete relaxation . The first time your AFF instructor tells you to relax you will probably think he or she is completely barkers ,,, but it wont be too long before you see what we mean .. in the words of the good doctor ” be like water my friend ” .

.

Marian Von Mitschke-Collande originally from Germany but now living in London returmed for another skydiving session with us .

Here he is performing his first solo exit , which looks ” perfect ” . A Base exit is where you leave the plane facing the slip stream .

As he starts to accelerate towards ” terminal velocity ” he will begin to change in orientation and start to face the planet as when you start to accelerate thats where the wind will come from.
