Used to be, in the olden days when we landed like a sack of potatoes, that your first stand-up was a case of beer! Nowadays many if not most first jump students land so softly they can hardly stand up.

Congrats! It must feel good!

Great job!

By the way, what the hell kind of gloves are you using? Those look strange. Hard to see, but it looks like stick ons for the back of your hands, or they are gloves that look like they're leaving the palms of your hands naked.

The only thing those gloves will ever match is 1960's hippy paisley...

Totally face planted and scared the stuff out of the owner/instructor.

I guess he couldn't hear me yell I was "ok".

Well done!! I think I fell consistently for my first 30 or so jumps!! :D:D:$ Then I bought gear that was WAAAAAY too small for me (which I still jump today), and proceeded to learn to actually fly the thing because I was so effing terrified of killing myself on landings!!

So my advice? Continue your excellent work on landing... Continue to use every opportunity to improve your canopy-flight technique... And for fuck's sake, when you *do* buy gear, make sure it is of an appropriate size/wing-loading/shape, et cetera so that landing on your bum will continue to be a thing of the past! :)
