I am teh skygod!
« on: August 23, 2004, 03:00:12 AM »
Well not quite yet but i got my A skydiving  license by making my 19th, 20th (low alt) and 21st jumps yesterday.  :D

Of course, I had to completely miss my low alt (5000 ft) exit of the plane. I went tumbling head over heels a couple of times, arched like crazy and slowly found myself stable...but on my BACK  :eek: ...twisted like an eel and finally went in a stable belly down fall. Knowing that I had used more time than planned, I lost not a single second to check my alt or wave-off and punched immediately. I was under canopy at 2,800 ft. A bit low but not hair-raising low  ;)  
I made a great landing tho.  :cool:

I promised to my wife not to buy my gear too early...but i'll try to have it (new or second-hand if I can find something decent) for the next season. The negociations promise to be hard  :lol .

And now a couple of awesome QT vids by REAL skygods:

You've chosen for a tandem or an AFF jump?
