What was your most proud skydive day

[vonSanta 0]

1) Jump number 55. Held a sitfly, level with my sister, all the way to breakoff altitude for the first time

2) Standing up the landing on the first jump on my Safire-149.

Finishing off AFF without having to redo any levels was pretty big too. And my AFF instructor not remembering my name at first, and then jokingly saying "oh yeah, the super tracker" was cool too

As was a tiptoe landing in zero wind with (for me) lots of swoop, right in front of my older brother and his three small kids, my sis and mother. Hm, and watching my second brother do his first (and so far only) static line jump. Made me proud.

Still a newbie - these are certainly very minor compared to the achievements of many others who have posted, but to me they were huge at the time (and are still pretty big )

Hmmm... I think it was when my daughters Sindri and Laura made their first skydives. Both did tandems, and then Laura continued through AFF. She's a natural flyer (unlike her dad!) and didn't have to repeat any levels.

With my limited time in the sport, I would have to say that my first solo jump after getting off AFF status was my proudest day in skydiving. It was a 5k hop & pop from a 182.

Doing a 2-stack (CRW) on a B.A.S.E. jump at Bridge Day 2003.

As a DZ Pilot, flying loads all day in the two 182's (the T-Bone was down for maintenance) then getting a ride in a glider from another pilot, then making a static-line jump!
Plane landings were all short field greasers. Jump landing was knees-chest-face.
Yee Hah!

Cool.


My first skydive.

My first solo. Heading into that doorway alone felt incredible. Understanding that it was all me. Falling through the sky, arching nice, watchin mother earth coming at me...

Incredible feeling.

1. - on jump #25 I open my reserve, I was very proud that I can handel a malfunction.

2. - I had problems doing a good trek and on my 30th or 31st jump when I got it right it was the best thing.

1. Jumping with my two daughters on their graduation jumps.

2. Flag demo jump into Ft. McHenry on Flag Day just before the fireworks display. The band was playing the National Anthem, and the jump was timed so that the landing coincided with the end of the anthem. My daughters (much younger then) were amazed that other kids were asking their dad and his teammates for autographs.
