Nice!! I don't have videos of my 7 jumps...just 1, 6 and 7. Tore my ACL and fractured my tibia on the 10th @#$% jump...god I miss it. Cant wait til the leg heals to get back at it...blue skies!
caught a wind rotar off of some trees near our DZ...instructors watching said I did everthing right for a normal landing but when I flared nothing happened, basically the wind pushed me into the ground, happened REALLY fast and I wasn't ready to PLF...at least that's one thing I've taken away from it, I will be in position in the harness to PLF from now on no matter how well my approach is going :-)
@dquin12 - see above, comment from me describing what happened on my 10th jump - got through it kept jumping for a while - finally quit after 102 jumps (another 100 jump wonder - apparently it's common to quit then) I gave up because of the cost - way too easy to blow $300 a weekend and I was going every weekend = $1200 a month and I still hadn't bought my own gear yet and the $300 doesn't include gear rental...ugh. One day when I'm independently wealthy I'll go back to it.

I TOTALLY agree! I only have 10 jumps and the sound of the scuffling as they exit the plane freaks me out too.!
