Rough Canopy Opening

I'm assuming you're not in a seasonal skydiving location... It's about shut down for the season around here, at least for anyone who doesn't want to freeze their fingers off.

Enjoy!

Luckily it's warm here pretty much all year.  Yesterday was probably as perfect as it gets.  70ish on the ground, barely any wind, and minimal clouds.  Hopefully that holds out for awhile.

Level 4 done.  Even stood up the landing!  Thanks for the encouragement and advice to not overthink but listen.  I think riding the plane down and being embarrassed helped a lot with my determination.  Even if it crushed me for a bit.

It’s your hobby. Riding the plane down is just fine.

Thanks!  I used to be freaked out by backflipping in freefall and when I had to do it it was so easy.  I've noticed that once I'm out of the door I'm good.  It's for sure the mental aspect that was holding me back.  Now I'll iron some stuff out and ideally be licensed by the end of the year.

Probably shouldn't post the video but eh, it's there.

 

Also, sorry for the double post.
