elias123 0 #52 November 15, 2006 get to jump number 100 stay safe don't die don't hurt myself don't endanger other jumpers save money for a rig work on tracking skills learning RW 2-way points do a 3way, a 4way and maybe a 5way or X-way do a trackingjump with someone or multiple peolpe work on canopy control, landings, maby doing some PFL's getting an audible, or protrack now i know how to flatpack well, work on propacking do jumps with people that i like, if of course they feel like it helping at the dropzone as much as possible (keeping the hangar and packing area clean, throwing away trash that always lies around and maby playing a little role in the organizing of events at the DZ) get other people to do a tandem, or better yet, aff helping other students out (altough i am a real rookie myself) and talking to people who come to the dz for the very first time make a second sunset skydive do as many loads as i can in one day, but definately not rushing my packjobs, just do as many as i can, but on a gentle manner, so i will stay safe downsize to 190 and then 170 learn the basics of sitfly jump when i feel like jumping, if wheather shifts, ride the plane down avoid deploying in clouds read, learn and listen as much as possible to skydiving and basejumping information film me again a few times ask someone to do a hybrid with me for jump 100 coming to the DZ as much as possible, not necissarily for jumping, but to help other people out helping new people how to pack and giving controles without them having to ask me, just walk up to them and see how they are doing, if they have a problem i'll always help them out get my b licence i guess that's it for now "In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
