Not a bad landing compared to my first solo landing. I landed off the dropzone onto the road leading up to the DZ, it was either run into the back of the hanger and mave a low right turn to land on the road, I chose the road. A little road rash fro ma hard PLF on my leg and ankle but all is good and I am ready to jump again next week.

@Madmachinist26 Don't feel bad buddy...as long as you didn't get hurt. I'm something of a "PLF King" at my dropzone.....up until last Thursday's jump if I felt I couldn't just "step down" to Earth I'd PLF....I've FINALLY shown myself I can run off excess speed and not do a face plant. I have 22 solos BTW.

I just did something similar this weekend. Luckily I hobbled away with a sever right ankle strain....I'll be out for a few weeks recovering

OOO! I know that hurt. Did the same thing during my first landing.
if you can walk away from a landing then its always a good landing!!i have a reputation for PLF's on most of my jumps, hence ive now gained the nickname "stacker" at the dz!!!
