Newbie in Canada

[Pink1980 0]

I started with my first jump on 14th June and got addicted to skydiving! I am now at 16 jumps and loving it. I did the graduated Freefall path and am finally at 10,000ft. However my stability is a bit random. I did my first dive out last week which was quickly followed by 4 (unintentional) back flips! Where as other time I am a lot more stable, I guess I need to be more patient, I just can't wait to get better!

Hey pink congradulations on your new found addiciton. If you ever make it up to kamloops , stop in at the dropzone and say hi or make some jumps with us.

I really want to get my A licence by the end of the summer, I will definately practice the arch on land. Unfortunately no wind tunnel close by. Think the only good one in Canada is in Montreal and it is a lot cheaper to fly to San Francisco and use the one there!! I am probably going fly there and try it, funds permitting! but it will probably help a lot.

shoot me an email if and when you fly down to CA! there's lots of dzs here, too, and I have friends all over the SF bay area...and who knows, maybe some of the Madera crew would be up for some tunnel time sometime...:)
