My girlfriend got SKYDIVE CERTIFIED! (Full AFF levels 1-7) || vlog012

[@rudyrobertson1540]

What a perfect and by the book cutaway. She tried to save it but more importantly new when it was unrecoverable and on top of that, she didn't panic and pull the cutaway and reserve close together like I see a lot of other people do.

[@moliverallen]

her skillset and awareness as a skydiver is incredible!

[@charliejones3973]

Finishing aff and getting my A licence is the best thing I've ever done! Congrats!!

2 Things... #1....8:05 great flying by the instructors ! #2....as a coach, JM, and instructor I watch a lot of these videos and I have to say....this is the BEST I have seen a student do...EVER !!! Congratulations on your SOLO and welcome to the amazing world of skydiving.

[@stolle3341]

You sir, are a lucky man! And she really does well! Blue skies!

[@ExtremeSportsBlogger]

Huge Congrats Grace........that 'i peed my pants' feeling you get at the door, even when practising exits on the ground, is what it's all about and skydiving gives you that feeling again and again and again. Makes you feel alive. Mixed with beautiful places, beautiful scenery and the most beautiful people on the planet, skydiving is serenity. Blue Skies x .

[@chelsealord9178]

This is amazing! My partner is AFF certified and I have wanted to do it for a year now despite having 0 skydiving experience. My first jump is scheduled for the end of this month and then I plan to do the certification class through a place here in Colorado. This is inspiring to see and also gives a really good idea of what to expect. Thank you! and Congrats Grace! You're a badass!

[@yeandiaz1257]

This was amazing, after watching the and about hundreds more I have booked my first AFF jump for next week. great stuff guys!

[@sbflsrfrskdvr5659]

Awesome video. She made so much progress with each jump. I really like your comments about how social media can cloud things up. I’m on Level 5 right now. I’m having more problems with nerves than anything else so far. It’s cool to watch other people go through AFF and succeed. Thanks for posting. It’s a huge help for students and newer skydivers.

[@moliverallen]

It can be such an intimidating sport, it’s scary, I get scared all the time. It can also take some time before the flying clicks for some people, don’t let it discourage you! Keep practicing and don’t give up!

[@Plankmeister]

She's a natural. Totally understood relative wind and body position. Props!

[@moliverallen]

I know right?! So rad to see her do so well and love it so much! That stoke on her face is so contagious!

[@tasakajonsr4337]

Day one! Pretty impressive with body awareness

[@Itsreload]

Very cool to see someone's progression. The tunnel time was good for me. Elsinore is where I got my A. Same familiar faces were some of my instructors. Love jumping with those guys!

you guys are the coolest couple!! loved this video. go grace!! :)

[@moliverallen]

sara olivas thank you! She’s the bestest!!

[@savannahbreeze3808]

She's so calm. I was really nervous during AFF but got through all 9 stages with no issues. I'm at jump 114 and still get so nervous prior to jumping even though I trust my gear and myself. I am always like how are some people not nervous prior to jumping?! In saying that though, I dislocated my shoulder during a rodeo jump and nearly couldn't deploy my main. It kept dislocating so I had surgery on it and jumping has been great. No issues! I think it's always at the back of my mind though.. Awesome advice about people wanting to get into the sport btw!

[@moliverallen]

I get so nervous and i'm almost 2k jumps in. ahh thats a bummer, my shoulder is bad too and can get out sometimes jumping so I keep it conservative! its an amazing sport, just need to appreciate and respect it!

[@savannahbreeze3808]

@@moliverallen oh good I'm not alone with my nerves! I do try and take the advice that fear will help keep you safe and alive, I think I just need to allow the feelings to be there. Once I'm out of the plane I'm instantly at peace though... pure freedom... and yep, shoulders can be a bit of a pain for us jumpers! And totally agree that it's an amazing sport... skydiving changed my life! Blue skies to you both, loved the video! xx

[@JamesWitte]

No fear at all is defs the road to complacency and death. The anxiety really does go away after a few hundred jumps if you do it regularly tho.@@savannahbreeze3808 It defs helps to be obsessive compulsive in these sports.

After 6 years I finally did my first jump (tandem), I did it two days ago and I couldn't feel much happier honestly. My next quest is to go for my AFF, unfortunaly that will have to wait since I need money for other things): I just want to learn right now, the feeling I get when I remember my jump is just unexplainable. Skydiving is/was my golden dream and at the age of 18 I can proudly say that I completed it, but that it won't be the end. AFF, I will see you next semester (hopefully)

@@wolfgangwagner7251 so close haha, but it’s great your still going to try. Seems odd though that they don’t allow solo dives in Hawaii of all places considering how beautiful it is.

So I used to teach skydiving in the early 70s and I can't believe how far instruction has advanced since then. If you had told me then there would be tandem jumping or AFF I would have thought you were nuts. I've watched several of the AFF videos and must say this girl nailed it. What a great attitude and ability to apply knowledge in the most alien environment of all. Your instructors were simply excellent. Kudos to you young lady! C-7477

[@skydance8017]

Great video, that was really a joy to watch. That looks like so much fun! I've wanted to do this so bad throughout my life, I'm a bit of an anomaly however in that I have limitations, one of which is because in this sport there are weight requirements and restrictions (I'm too heavy or I exceed the upper limit). *Argh - WHY!? I'm wondering if there's any way or any "place" one can get around these rediculous regulations (two people in a tandem jump could possibly exceed my sole weight, it's not the gear that is the besetting issue, but for some reason there is a single person limit which happens to be below my weight...frustrating!).

[@moliverallen]

The limitations in skydiving are meant to keep you and everyone around you safe. I can’t speak on your behalf but make it a goal to get your weight to a safe place to jump!

[@skydance8017]

@@moliverallen Thank you for your reply. I agree, and the solution seems rather obvious, right?...lol It's so difficult and I have to resort to extreme measures to lose the weight. I hike regularly in the mountains, that does almost nothing for me for weight loss, that with keto and intermittent fasting does somewhat help getting me close to the 250lb limit (I'm +70lbs above currently), but it is a major effort and undertaking. It torments me, because aviation has always been such a passion of mine throughout my entire life and I'm constantly kept at bay because of limitations. Enough about me, I'll just enjoy it through your shared experiences. Thank you for sharing them! All the best!

[@_rmel]

Hey, I know this comment is old but I thought I'd offer a bit of clarification for anyone who might be stumbling on this and be in a similar situation. Tandem rigs are designed to withstand up to a certain weight INCLUDING the passenger, the instructor, and the weight of the system itself. So yes, while an instructor and a passenger combined may exceed your weight, they will still be below the weight limit put in place by the manufacturer. I'd be very wary or any dropzone that skirts these rules, unless they have a specially designed rig that can carry higher weights. I'm sorry that you feel your weight is holding you back from this sport :( I've gone through something similar where I was barred from an extreme sport due to their limitations and it sucks, so I feel you! Hope you get to experience it someday!
