Finished AFF 2 Weeks Ago! A license this weekend!

Hey guys!

I did a tandem last year and since then I've wanted to jump out alone. So two weeks ago I completed my AFF in 7 jumps and this weekend I'm going to try and finish up the requirements for my A license!

I recently got a Cookie G3 because I loved the look of it. I really want to get into camera flying (once I have 200 jumps) but it sounds like the G3 is bad for this due to a lack of any decent quick release system :(

I'm Canadian but living in the silicon valley for the summer doing a software engineering internship. I develop video games and work on a game engine.

Anyhow I figured I'd introduce myself, I've only got 22 jumps but I'm really excited to get into the sport!

Where do you jump! I'm in silly valley too. Hope to see you out there soon!

I'm not a lady, I'm a skydiver.

I jump at the Parachute Center. I love the atmosphere and people there.

Almost got everything I need for an A license, I'll unfortunately have to wait for one more trip because I need to finish up by demonstrating I can pack a parachute without assistance and do a final dive with an instructor.

I got this cool video from a coach who was helping me with my fall speed since I'm only 120lbs. I sideslip horribly at the start but I can fall a lot faster than I used to be able to!
