My first jump (AFF level one) was exactly one month ago. Right now I am at 26, newly A-licenced and not looking to stop any time soon! I've been lurking these forums, they really have been an invaluable tool for me. I really want to thank everyone that maintains these forums and provides so much information to new skydivers. No doubt that if it weren't for reading so much in these forums I would have been overeager to progress to freeflying or to downsize my canopy. Now I know I better stick to 2-ways for while and that I won't be downsizing until I've taken a good canopy piloting course and have a lot more jumps to my name. That being said, I do have some questions: - What legendary threads are must reads on these forums, especially for new skydivers? I've been sorting threads by amount of replies and going through the biggest ones, but the sheer amount is overwhelming to me. - What diciplines should one master first, from a safety perspective? My own reasoning is that focusing on RW during freefall seems to be the way to go. For the canopy part I figure I should be focusing on landing accuracy. - Some people have told me, because of my low wingloading, that my canopy is more or less flying me instead of the other way around. Since I won't be downscaling any time soon, will this necessarily inhibit my landing accuracy? I'd like to end with a shoutout to the podcast Jump Twenty Six, which I found recommended on this forum. I'm only at episode 5 but what a great show for a beginning skydiver so far.
