There are old and bold skydivers. Looks like you're the bold type. I lost two buddies last week that bounced. No insult intended, but this was not a smart move man. If you ever watch one of your buddies burn in, you will think twice before doing things like this. Glad you had a successful reserve ride and hope the beer was enjoyed by all, but lets save the left-hand pulls for a true emergency!
I think training real cutaways is really smart esp with a third canopy. That way when an emergency does arise there is no hesitation about what to do. Thats my two pennies anyways.

I was wearing a belly-mount third specifically for the cut-away jack ass.

Yeah well, what if something goes wrong with the reserve? not like you can cutaway from that one no matter how many belly-mount ones you have on
