first jump video

[birdshit 0]

I was watching my 1st jump video today, and I noticed a lot of stuff I did wrong. I took some captures of the images and I am uploading them to myspace. Have any of you guys ever gone back and looked at the first time you ever jumped, or when you were really new?

It was a tandem, so my instructor kept me safe, but god I bet is was hard keeping us stable... LOL

I attached some pics... enjoy!

Nope.

We went 'dope on a rope', and we didn't get any video of our exits.

PS...congrats on your first 4 jumps!

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

You needed to put your feet up higher by bending your knees. The rest of you looked to be in a good arch. I've had worse. No worries.

How big are you? I'm guessing 6'3", 225 pounds. What have your other jumps been, AFF?

The first jump I have video for was jump #10... it was a coach jump... did a number of things wrong in that jump... but nothing that was overtly dangerous.

I'm a bit better now then I was then...

5'11", 235 in that pic. MOOOOO!!!

Now I am 209. Losing that much weight was tough (results not typical), but I did it. Yeah my other 3 jumps are AFF. This was over a year ago, so I am restarting AFF Level 1. I just dropped a little over a grand and paid for all 7 AFF jumps just to piss off my soon-to-be ex wife.



And yeah, my legs were straight and my opening was all cockeyed because when I reached back to pull the ripcord, I didn't compensate for the airflow on my left hand.
