Have you got it checked out by a rigger? It's your first canopy?? Start praying.

This is what the Australian Parachute Federation says about jumping through cloud: http://www.apf.asn.au/Members/Cloud-Jumping/About-Cloud-Jumping/default.aspx

Couple people went out first, then us. They were lots of clouds in random places. I wouldn't of been able to predict we were going to go through the cloud. Thanks for the advice, I'm usually pretty good at dive exits but it was a bit hard for me with another person there.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm going to start practicing those exits so I get better at them.

Did my first 2 B-Rels yesterday. I found out that float exits are hard. In stage 2 my goggles nearly fell off. Stage 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB0j2Brufhg Stage 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt6EvNwuzXk Mind the facial expressions. Enjoy!

LAS VEGAS (AP) ‚ Authorities say a dispute about a recreational vehicle in a Las Vegas-area skydiving landing zone preceded an armed confrontation and police shooting that left a man dead during the weekend. Police Capt. Matt McCarthy tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal (http://bit.ly/OvJC8K ) a skydiving company employee summoned police Sunday morning after a man in an RV wielded a rifle and refused to leave a drop zone near Jean Airport. McCarthy says the man barricaded himself in the RV and was shot dead after he pointed a rifle at SWAT officers. No one else was hurt. http://elkodaily.com/news/state-and-regional/skydiving-site-dispute-preceded-police-shooting/article_ef756a04-adee-11e3-ac8a-0019bb2963f4.html Does anyone have any other info on this.

What do you like about canopy flight?

My first solo landing/landing pattern was horrible. Second was perfect. -

Yeah, I haven't found a dropzone that does them. -

It would be cool to do a sunrise load, because, as you said, a sunset jump can quickly turn into a night jump. So if you do a sunrise load, it would be safe and would just turn into a normal day. -
This was helpful, thank you. Oh yeah, to everyone else saying the height to wave off was a little low. It says in my AFF Book, wave offs are at 4000ft. My instructor changed the wave offs to 4,500ft.
