14000andfalling 0 #1 April 15, 2007 After waiting since doing doing my tandem in Jan I finally got to do my first two S/L solo jumps today! The first one went like a dream...Good stable exit, Line twists which were dealt with in about 2 secs, a sweet approach and a stand up landing 6ft from the 'X'!! Sadly the second jump wasn't quite as nice, my exit was a little poor as i seemed to 'de-arch' a little and this resulted in my legs doing a little kicking. Still, after the safety count and dealing with twists again I was under a nice big canopy. I did misjudge the crosswind leg a little though and landed about 200yds from the centre of the DZ in some crops! (Sorry Mr Farmer!) All was looking great for another stand-up landing, right up until I put my feet down, started to turn round to collapse the canopy and tripped over a bloody great Rock!! All in all though, a great day out. Roll on next weekend! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
