Here it is....My very first skydive, but just as I like everything in life I didn't want a regular tandem jump where you just hang there attached to some guy waiting on him to pull the cord...no! I had a really cool instructor named Jeremy who gave me a solo skydiving crash course in just 5 minutes. So in this video you will see me reaching back with my right hand (I was running a routine to familiarize myself with the rip cord location). Then you will see me turn my head to the right and drop my right arm (spin to the right) and then I do the same with my left arm. I was so amped that I remembered my assignments and nailed all of them with the final being pulling the rip cord.
What's not on the video is when I was actually steering the canopy for several minutes and finally Jeremy landed us safely. When they palyed the video back in the hanger everyone came up asking which jump this was for me and I said "First" and they were floored! One even called me a natural....and said I should come back and take the actual AFF training (to become a certified skydiver) another went on to say "we can use some soul around here" translation....a black person around here would be cool ha ha ha ha.
Anyway enjoy the video. I'm going back real soon and this time the wife is going to jump with me
no way i could just jump out of a perfectly good airplane

Wow! That was awesome! You should definitely go back for AFF. You did better than I did after 6 hours of ground school on my first AFF jump. Haha =D
