Went back for Level 3 after my tunnel time. Success!

Recommended Posts

With the exception of pull-time stability, the dive went great. It was the difference between night and day from my previous 2 attempts. Got the legs out signal once before being released, and one more time after release which got me locked in to a wondefully stable and on-heading freefall. I finally got to feel what the right leg position actually feels like when I didn't have the tunnel for a point of reference.

Only thing that needs work is my pull. I need to make sure I stop trying to move my body to pull and just move my arms. I think I almost flipped myself at pull time but I'll consider that a fluke as previous jumps have had good pulls.

Finally though... a solid and controlled freefall where I maintained altitude awareness AND stability throughout the dive.

The tunnel time was worth it.

Thats cool!

I wish we had a tunnel somewhere around Spokane. I did my first free fall on Sat. and It was good expect for my leg position. I had them to close to my body. Had he let go I would have flipped. And I moved my leg a little when I went to pull but that all went well. It was an awesome jump! I can't wait to do it again!

A: Why Not?
