First Skydive
« on: September 05, 2014, 03:30:55 PM »
Video of my first time ever jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft.

These is no point adding any kind of description right now. Those who know, know.

Just incredible.

Good stuff Bat. I did that once some years ago. Would have kept going around had it not been so expensive.  :cheers:

Good job.  Good body position, just needed a bit more leg which you corrected when signaled to.

Nice! Did my first one two weeks ago at the drop zone I fly for.

Thinking about doing the static line course and get my A license.

WTG!!  :aok

Did 200+ jumps between 2005 and 2007, fun it sure is :)

Nice and stable as demonstrated by your second AFF-I letting you go mid-jump. Congrats again and enjoy the adrenaline tsunami...  :rock

Youtube seems to be down for me right now but congrats anyway. Just don't get too hooked on skydiving or you'll end up living on a dropzone in a battered old RV.  :neener: On the other hand some skydivers travel the world and jump out of interesting planes in interesting places.

My only solo jump was many years ago on a ex military round rig from a mere 2500 feet. Although I've done two tandems since then from the plane I usually fly for the dropzone. If I was younger I might try and get a licence but right now I'm quite satisfied to just stick with the flying.

Have fun!
