Graduated level 8!

[joe399 0]

Well, Its been a long hard battle (with $) but a with maxed out credit card...2 months 7 jumps and 15 min in the tunnel. I graduated my AFF class on level 8 at Skydive Elsinore in Lake elsinore CA.

One word, awesome. I never failed a class and my instructor for level 8 threw me into a front flip when we docked with out telling me just to see how I would react. Lots of fun.

Elsinore rocked. I highly recommend them. Now I just need to get my solos done, and take a packing class and get my A license!

Question...what do you guys recommend me practicing for my solos? I know its a general question...but a general answer would be good...I would like to progress into doing free flying...and having fun (duhh)

SWEEEET.....Now go get another credit card and max that out on jumps and gear

wait on the freeflying until you are out of the student gear, that is not the best for freeflying. reason is, you can end up having a premature opening, which can be just as bad as those premature ejaculations! ..

congrats on passing the level 8!

congrats dude, ill probably see ya around some time, but till then best thing is to just have fun. your now able to jump w/o supervision, just go have fun, do 6k' worth of flips or whatever you want, just stay away from Freeflying on those student rigs, also remember that a student is allowed to fly with someone with a coach rating, talk to Mark about that too. Coach jumps you can learn a lot with.

thanks man, yea I know about the student gear deal, I meant eventually when I get my own stuff which will be freefly gear. If your out their, look for a young lookin kid walking around like the new guy...sometimes I come out with my gf too...small and black hair..my names Joe...

Mark is a good guy, He did a few jumps with me and my tunnel time as well. I wont be able to get to jump till sometime next week...what exactly are coach jumps?...basically just someone I can jump with to practice some things? I gotta say...I really loved doing the flips and rolls...

coach jumps are jumps you do with another person with a coach rating that help you work on different aspects of the fall, such as fall rate, or docking, or turns, or anything else. dont worry about being the new guy, thats me right now. . once you get your license you can start renting from ground zero, the gear store and they have some nice rigs in there to rent (nice for us noobs anyways).
