wmw999 2,318 #101 November 20, 2023 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! Wendy P. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustbucket350 40 #102 November 20, 2023 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustbucket350 40 #103 November 26, 2023 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustbucket350 40 #107 December 10, 2023 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably shouldn't post the video but eh, it's there. Also, sorry for the double post. Edited December 10, 2023 by Rustbucket350 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustbucket350 40 #109 May 22 Man I sounded like an idiot. Did get my A license. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,318 #110 May 22 Dude, you sounded like a new skydiver with a problem you were trying to figure out without enough tools. Just like everyone else, only every one of us has different problems. And awesome to get your A. You’ve got a lot more tools to work on problems, but you’ll get new problems, and you still won’t have the tools to solve them all. Just like all of us!
