Two, Three, & Four…Passed!!!

Yesterday was like a dream. I drove down the DZ and did some jumps.
Level two went well. Level Three went well. Level Four went well and was amazing.

Level Two really wasn’t shit, little nervous at first but once out the Otter everything else went with it. Felt relaxed and confident during freefall, landed kinda hard. Started to flare early!

Level Three was what I needed. Two JM’s then No JM’s. After we exited that plane went into a strong arch, over a big beautiful cloud. Freefalling solo, seeing JM’s in front and not the side was pretty crazy, started to tense up and got a little unstable but recovered with the help of my instructors. Good wave and pull @ 5,500 and the nicest stand up landing I could imagine.
When I got back to the gear room there were my JM’s looking very disappointed. I was like Oh shit what diddent I do! They gave me this big long story saying why I diddent pass! I just went along with it thinking I diddent! After they were done talking to me about it, they told me I did just fine and was ready for level 4. I got played.

Level Four. Oh boy!
This is was unbelievable. One instructor and solo freefall with some forward motion and 90 degree turns. I was let go almost immediately. Was stable the whole time, I did dent have to be rescued and I nailed my turns and nailed the forward motion. And freefell 500 more feet. This was by far the best jump to date.

So pretty much, It was a full day of jumping. That went well. Couldn’t of asked for anything more. I’m gonna back soon to get three more in and buy the next package of jumps. I’ll keep you guys posted.

Blues,

The best part is that it just keeps getting better. The last couple AFF jumps are a blast. I assume you'll be exiting solo on your next jump - it's so much cooler than having someone hold on. Then you get to learn back loops and barrel rolls, each jump is more and more fun. I just finished on Friday and I can't wait to go down and do some solo fun jumps.

My graduation jump was incredible. I did the barrel roll, a 360, then I stopped the turn and was side by side with my instructor and we went into a track. So much fun.

Good luck with the rest of AFF, and have fun up there.
