Firstly, when do you usually go low?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Is it on approach or during the skydive?<\/li><li>If it&#8217;s on approach do you go low and continue to lose altitude or just go past the formation and stay a meter or so below?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it&#8217;s on approach, this would suggest it is a fall rate issue, so use the right tools to make sure you are in the same fall rate range as the rest of the group and also select the correct exit and slot position to make it more comfortable. If you go past the formation this would suggest your approach is too fast and you\u2019re stopping too late. To fix this issue stop a little earlier on your approach to bleed off excess speed and use a stadium approach to fly to your slot. Every metre out you should have roughly half a metre height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/stadium-approach-brit-chicks-WB-1024x623.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/stadium-approach-brit-chicks-WB-1024x623.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/stadium-approach-brit-chicks-WB-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/stadium-approach-brit-chicks-WB-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/stadium-approach-brit-chicks-WB-1536x935.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/stadium-approach-brit-chicks-WB-2048x1246.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A stadium approach, at a 30 degree angle, safeguards altitude<br>Photo by Willy Boeykens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you tend to go low during the skydive it may be fall rate, caused by you being out of range or the formation slowing down as people are picking up grips. It is important for the base to maintain a decent fall rate throughout and this is matched by everyone as they arrive. If you are in the base make sure you have the correct tools to allow this (it might mean wearing weight when you don\u2019t always). This is to allow you to stay comfortable even if there is lift created when people pick your grips up. If on the outside, expect it to feel slower as you approach, set up in a stadium approach and continue to reference through the center of the formation as this will help you preempt any changes in fall rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/going-low-Hib-Martin-Skrbl.jog_-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/going-low-Hib-Martin-Skrbl.jog_-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/going-low-Hib-Martin-Skrbl.jog_-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/going-low-Hib-Martin-Skrbl.jog_-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/going-low-Hib-Martin-Skrbl.jog_-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/going-low-Hib-Martin-Skrbl.jog_.jpeg 1738w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>If you go low between points you&#8217;re not matching the fall rate of the formation \u2013 anticipate that it may slow down<br>Photo over Skydive Hibaldstow by Martin Skrbel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you come to a full stop before picking up your grips. Regardless of your slot it is important to Fly Your Slot. The work isn\u2019t over when you arrive and pick up your grips! Put yourself in your comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exit position, put yourself in an exit slot you feel confident flying, that may be floating or early diver (it\u2019s a personal preference, there is no \u2018easy slot\u2019). If you have confidence from the moment you exit the aircraft, this will put you in a better mental state from the start. From setting up in the door, to exit, to approach you should identify where the base is and where it will be when you arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always expect the unexpected. if you or someone else has an unstable exit then your pictures and approach will be different, so have your eyes wide open! Make sure your arrival is something you are proud to be shown on the bar tape! It\u2019s always better to take a fraction longer to stop and take your grip rather than approaching and funneling the whole formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Reference through the center of the formation as this will help you preempt any changes in fall rate<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Going-low-womensworldrecord-LB-FI.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Going-low-womensworldrecord-LB-FI.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Going-low-womensworldrecord-LB-FI-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Going-low-womensworldrecord-LB-FI-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Going-low-womensworldrecord-LB-FI-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><figcaption>If you do go low, this is a great body position to fix it<br>Photo by Luciano Bacqu\u00e9 during the WWR event at Skydive Perris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other notes to consider to use the right tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Weight belts<\/li><li>Baggy\/tight jumpsuit \u2013 different materials can help with fall rate, for example, poly-cotton is slower than nylon.<\/li><li>T-shirt\/jumper on top to give drag \u2013 remember if you are adding any tools such as a t-shirt you need to make sure it cannot lift and cover your handles!

You should be in the middle of your range so you can always go faster or slower when needed. Be in the right mental state! Half of the difficulty with skydiving is the mental game. Positive thinking and using the time in the plane to visualize the whole skydive is the best tool you have. Spend the time on the ground to see the right pictures to avoid distraction in the air, such as who is in the base, where your slot is, where your approach is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have all of this information, then you can concentrate more so on flying your slot, any small fall rate fixes you may need throughout and then of course the fun and safety of tracking away and canopy flight! Be a lucky skydiver; see more, have fun. You will soon be able to fly any slot on a 6-12 way, this is no different to the slots on a 200 way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Be in the right mental state!
