@davidenete I hope you didn't think I was being sarcastic. I just completed the student progam. I didn't realize this was 3 years ago and I was probably drunk thinking that this just happened. LOL. Hope you have had some kick ass jumps bro.
These are the jumps that scare the SHIT outta me. You did GREAT, Man. Beautiful exit and arch! NO prob for me to jump from 12.5k but 5k, and then.....2.5k UGGGHHHH! Gotta do it! My DZ is at Lake Elsinore, Ca.
You're right, that's UK only (BPA Operations Manual Section 6, item 3.1.2). In the US, it should meet with approval from your instructor, but it is not specifically prohibited by the USPA. Thanks for the comment.
This was my 13th jump, a hop-and-pop from 5,000 feet. It was my first exit from a Cessna 182, and my first hop-and-pop. Very stable exit, so my next one will be from 3,500 feet to meet my A-license requirement. Enjoy...
Good job bro. Your 3.5k jump will be more exciting:)

You did great!
I got 35 jumps in total, and haven't tried a hop&pop one yet... I'm pretty much scared of doing that :)

Thanks - my 13th jump and a hop and pop tomorrow. I agree it's more scarey than 12k

I am pretty sure you need to be B-lic to wear a fullface helmet, or is that only in the UK?
