thepaintballguy 0 #1 May 26, 2007 Yup, I did my first hop-n-pop today and lets just say it was interesting! First off I have not had anything go wrong in any of my jumps so far, but that all changed today. LOL Anyways I jumped from 4500ft to do my first real pull. When I let go of the plane I was so concentrated on getting that parachute out that I sort of forgot to arch. So I started kicking. Well after I started kicking I flipped over on my back and ended up throwing my PC out and looked down and saw it at my feet. At that point I was thinking, "Oh geez this is not good! " Well it ended up NOT getting tangled on my feet so it flipped me over and then I got 3 line twists (which I had never gotten before). Once i kicked out of those all was good. I had a great landing except for the fact that there was 1 tree in our landing field that is about 4 feet tall and I managed to land right next to it and then the parachute landed in the tree. All in all it was a great jump, a little shoken up, but no big deal. Tomorrow I am doing my first AFF jump! I can't wait for that!!! Thanks again Dave and Roy! You guys rock!!!
