  7. But done two jumps anyway, today at sibson, with mark bmi........ 4th jump,,,,very good exit and palms, down ,flying as planned.Then when comfortable, put palms up as planned, excellent body, position Good left turn parallel to dz arms started getting little lazy ,and palms then knifing, this is allowing you to bend at elbows ,the wrong way, so work on palms up from now on. Good reaction to direction signals. Really starting to fly the suit well, try to completely close leg wing on deployment .Good job and good direction for 1st time on this dz Mark Harris bmci 12 D11027......... 5th jump.... Awesome exit, not moving legs at all. Very quick 5 secs to turn left off line of flight, plan was to do at least 20 secs, really flying the suit very well. Legs straight, arms much better, hands just creeping towards knifing again, but started to sort it just as getting signal, then a sudden left turn, good reaction to come right signal, then instead of flying straight on came left again, did not come right after another signal, Good deployment, much better legs. Nice One! Now you are really flying the suite, just must be aware of the distance you can travel. Keep a good eye on your position in relation to DZ, although I know it's hard on a new DZ.

  11. jump number 253 /20/8/05/ 1st.... birdman flight.......nice exit,nice pattern flow ,poor arm and leg position but stable and solid ,straighton legs ,roll shoulders ,crook elbows ,and trail hands, do practic pulls earlier on., think about deploment more, collapes arm and legs after pull well done Graig Poxon D11665 BASE 803 BMI/PFI#4............................................................2nd jump 20/8/05 nice exit much better body position but arms and legs can be stronger. very poor pattern try and avoid flying into large banks ofg clouds, collabe wings and drop down in cloud , if you are going to fly in cloud beaware of other traffic gliders, and fly intended pattern Graig Poxon D1165 Base 803 BMI/PFI#4............................................................3rd and last so far.....Very nice exit again, and good intial position ,but soon reverted to position on first jump, of crooked arms and bent legs. Didn't respond to repeated signals ,think hard about body position ,and be prepared on the ground before you go in the air ,muscle memory!!! good wave off and deployment ,recommend consistent improved body position before jumping with others.
