Ya gotta love the MK 3 :) awesome stuff.

Sounds good to me, well I suppose the lack of preforming like a monkey will help! Now im looking forward to it! roll on the weekend!

Haha, I would love a trip across the pond! Once I get my A licence, and resort to a whole new level of poverty ill be there :) Thanks guys!

So my next jump will be my first Console, I fall like a brick, so that has me nervous! Just generally in general (in all generalness) a big pile of nerves over it! But I will get through it! What was everyones first solo like? Terrifying? Or were you as tough as a two-dollar steak?

So I have been lurking around the forums for some time now, and its about time to start getting involved! I'm Ian and I'm from Ireland. I work as a filmmaker and got into skydiving by chance, when I was shooting a music video at the Irish Parachute Club, people were nice, looked like fun so 5 days later I was in ground school. Finished that, and got my first ever skydive. Which scarred the absolute shit out of me. Moving forward I recently completed AFF, (only took me 6.5 months, gotta love Irish weather) Over that time I became a professional 'driving to the dropzone and not jumping and while looking at the weather type guy' :) But AFF is done now, and im delighted, I fall like a brick, so yea, have to learn how to work on that. Next jump is my first solo console, and i swear, i'm terrified, but its the fear that keeps me coming back! So yea, Hi, I'm Ian.
