Deci 0 #1 November 13, 2003 Hello everyone. I've been reading for a while now, and just thought i'd announce myself! I've been jumping from Gatineau Airport in Gatineau, QC, about 20 minutes away from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Canada's capital city (no it's not Toronto) at a facility called Paramax. So far i've got 12 jumps, through what they call the "classic" progression. One more jump and i've got my solo certificate. So far i've got 2/12 landings spot on target with 24-30k winds! My last jump was supposed to be from 7k, but my coach thought i was doing so well (and it was the last 'official' open weekend of the season, snow is just around the corner) that we should do a 2-way from 12k to 7k then let go and do what i had to do to pass my level. Sunset load, clouds at 4k, just an amazing experience. I could get used to this... And i will!CSPA D-1046 TI Coach2 RiggerA JM SSI SSE GCI EJR Canadian 102-way record holder bard.ca Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
