Cheers anyway, I kind of get your point. I guess I was maybe thinking of a basic manual or guide with reference to canopy work, control, do's and donts etc. -

Oh lol and since I loved it so much, and cant stop thinking about it. Should I just jump to AFF training or stick with the static jumps first? -

Hi everyone, I did my first static line last week, and if I wasnt on assignment Id be doing a few more this weekend. What a rush it was great. Cant believe I didnt get round to it before. Anyway, the jumper behind me in my group took a bit of a dive - seriously hard from about 40 ft - into the ground, quite hurt and kind of took the euphoric edge off a bit. Now, it didnt put me off at all, I was right beneath him when he plummeted and I saw his 'essential' mistakes. It kind of showed, do your drills, stick to the rules and you'll be fine. That said, I thought the canopy work instruction was a bit light - certainly not the warnings about semi stalling and low turns. Id like to 'study' up on this a bit - any advice anybody
