emmiwy 0 #1 March 26, 2010 First successful 2-way: did my first side-body points First tracking dive Being here for a friend's successful AFF level 1 First line twist and successful kick out of said line twist without cutaway And to top it all off, sunset jump with extra altitude, exit at 14,000ft. I was last one out so pulled high at 7k. Just watching the sunset over the mountains with wisp of clouds over the top was the most peaceful, beautiful sight I've ever seen. I already bought beer that I'm bringing in the morning :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just very inspired yesterday by my jumps. It's like learning how to walk all over again, except now I remember how hard the learning process can be.
