my dropzone only has d5's and d6's for beginners - I jumped from a d6 last time (800 meters/2600ft) and it was a bit less painful though my leg is still swollen - it will again take like a month or more before I'll consider myself 100%. mm - maybe I should Indeed not look at the ground and instead look at the horizon - I'll ask my instructor. wow, you guys have soo many jumps - how is that even possible?

My second jump - hurt my feet a bit both times but I'm getting better - hopefully my next jump will go better. Btw anyone how if loosing 5-10 kg will make my landings better? I'm 2m/85kg, (6.6ft/187 lbs) Skydiving in Ukraine costs around 45$ per jump, and around 130$ for tandem jumps - since I am not a wuss I of course went for the regular jump. Last time I jumped on a d5 parachute, this time on a d6 (both are domes, but the d6 has control strings). apart from the leg pain afterwards I had an awesome time and hope to do it again once I'm up to 100% and after I do some leg strengthening exercises. vid - jump at 1:15 I'm the first one of the second batch - wanted to smile for the camera this time and succeeded http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4Umcg6oiuEY#t=71s photos http://imgur.com/a/xsz4Y 3D video of boarding (the 3d can be turned off) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOJqmocycNE so, to recap: q1 : will loosing 5-10 kg help? q2: once you land in a dome style parachute - should one fall over instantly or wait for a split second for the shock to be obsorbed?

Ukraine - though for now I'll play it safe and simply get more info about the helmet cam thing - since currently all the info I got was from the internet

cause filming in 3d costs around 80$ which is waay too much considering I already payed around 40$ for the jump - and I already have a 3d camera however it only has a standard "screw" type mount

Hi! My name is Yuriy - I'm soon gonna go on my second jump - however, I've wanted to record it this time - however I asked my dropzone if it's ok to bring my own helmet which has a camera attached and they said "no, you must have 100 jumps" - am I being bullshited or is this normal? if so why?
