Start my RAPS in July

Recommended Posts

Just thought I'd update this post if that's alright.

My first jump was absolutely terrifying, but it went very well, and after a few days I wanted to go back. Also, I really got that dropping sensation that everybody says you don't get. :P

My second jump was much more fun, and the only scary bit was the plane ride. Again, everything went perfectly, but I made the mistake of doing a 360 turn at 1000ft. I had completely forgotten that the cutoff for spirals at the DZ was 2500ft. I looked at my altimeter before the turn, so it wasn't lack of awareness, I just flat out forgot. I got a telling off from my instructor as she thought it looked more like 500ft, but otherwise, lesson learned.
