Jeth 0 #1 May 19, 2005 Wow, what a day!!! I only had a half-day off due to a stupid meeting, but I still managed to bang out 5 jumps yesterday! That is the most jumps I've ever done in a day. That was so awesome!!! And... I'm only 3 jumps from graduation!! All I have left are my hop-n-pops and I'm DONE!!! WOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!! Oh, man, that was so much fun!!! Back flips, front flips, barrel rolls, and even some sitflying!! And 3 more stand-up landings!! Thank you mother nature for not raining on my parade!! Now I can go back on Saturday and GRADUATE AFP!!!! WOO-HOO!!!! "At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!

tdog 0 #2 May 19, 2005 Awesome.. Congrats. Ain't skydiving fun. Quoteand even some sitflying!! That opened my eyes a bit, because someone with 20 some odd jumps tried to sit and backslid over me a month or two ago. It was a close call, if he did not dump high, he would have been within feet of me... (He did not see me until he was sniveling) He was shaking upon landing. I am no sit expert, but I hear it is real easy to backslide when in the sky alone, especially while learning. So, set yourself up to track, I mean backslide, away from jumprun, or probably a better idea, get some advice from people who know more than I. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya, I have heard of problems when ppl are learning freefly solo. I was with my instructor. In AFP we have 18 levels and do sitflying towards the end."At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!

That's awesome, I guess you're a natural freeflier. Enjoy your H+P, that's a fun jump.Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
