Jumps Update- 35

I have 35 jumps now and have completed everything for the A license except a braked approach and landing. This isn't a big deal, but I wanted to save it for last because it can cause a very rough landing if you don't know your canopy.

Since my last jump posts I've done a 2 way with a really good D licensed jumper, another coached jump (this one with Uwe), and a hop-n-pop at 3,300 feet.

The 2 way was pretty cool. We took turns turning 360's then I watched as he pulled right next to me and fell away from him. That was sweet.

The coached jump was pretty crappy from the start when I flipped head over feet on my way out the door. I didn't push off with my right foot so it decided to stay in the plane. Then Uwe was pretty tough to catch up to as we altered our fall rates. He has 12,000 jumps, so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad.

The hop-n-pop is a requirement for the A license. It worked out really well that we had heavy weather moving in on us after we were in the plane. We could either jump below the clouds or ride the plane to the ground. Ten jumpers went out one right after the other, pulling their chutes immediately out the door. Eight stayed on the plane (figure that out).
