jjiimmyyt 0 #1 August 30, 2004 Did a 5k hop'n'pop today, first jump since Perris in Feb. Realised it's my pre second jump as a licensed skydiver at home. One thing that felt weird is because I only did my AFF here and the rests of the jumps elsewhere was that I din't have the buzz that I did when doing AFF. Realised that now that I've got over the fear of leaving the plane etc I don't get the same feeling of conquering my fear. Don't get me wrong, I loved it (even the bollox landing) but its still not the same. I guess you can never do you first jump again. btw also pre second jump from a Cessna (been spoilt by Lets, Otters, Skyvans and Casas), I'll buy the at the end of the boogie.

jjiimmyyt 0 #3 August 30, 2004 Shoulda seen my exit, up on my knees and just kinda fell out. Bit embarrsing really as every dude on the plane apart from me has 1000s of jumps, 1 was on the world record (our CCI), one leases planes for a living and organises boogies, 1 is an AFFI and camera man and the other is ex French military jumper/tandem master and USPA STA, rigger and TM / RW guru. So they all landed spot on to applause from the crowd watching on the beech, I landed on the wet sand, fell over and got dragged, had to go home to wash the salt out of the canopy. BUT I fuckin loved it. It so good to be back again. "This isn't an iron lung, people. You can actually disconnect and not die." -Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
