Well actualy what happened was I was kind of at a 45% angle leaning forward so when my chute opened it slung my feet out in front of me, but my feet just kept going and went over my head. So actualy I went upside down backwards. And it happened while my chute was opening. Before the chute was opened I was starting to level out flat but since it was a static line I didn't have enough time to get totaly horazontal to the earth.

What up. Im new as well to the forums and skydiving for that matter. But, hows it going, good to meet you, and glad to see you on the board. Why live your life only to get to death safely? SKYDIVE!

DOH. I guess Danny doesn't have the space right now to put the videos of our 3rd jump up yet. But once he does you can see me get upside down. Also was there something I did wrong for this to happen? I saw a girl that went with us do this same thing but others that where about the same wait did not. You can see me in my arch and it looks pretty good. BTW if you go to dan's web page I am also wearing the yellow helmet if that helps. But, is there a cause for this or something that just happens sometimes?

HAHAHA Marks lol This would be awsome. Like psuCory said being up there with the planes all around, as long as they know you are up there, would be one of the kewlest things ever. At night expecialy. Seeing the lights and all that would truely make you feel like you are flying. Once im ready this is a must do!!! Why live your life only to get to death safely? SKYDIVE!

Man thanx for the insite on this guys. Dan and I started jumping together and naturaly have alot of the same questions. It is realy comforting to hear from former jumpmasters and current jumpmaster on issues like this. I was wondering this same thing. I just dont want to end up knowing everything there is to know about flying/landing a chute then not knowing anything about everything before that lol. Even though landing/flying the chute is a pretty important thing. But it is good to know that I am not going to miss out on valubale info on freefalling. Thanx again for the post.

Grats on getting your license. Must be a great feeling. I can't wait till I can experince it. And yes it is the best sport out there as well as the best way of life. Why live your life only to get to death safely? SKYDIVE!

Just wanted to say whats up to everyone. I heard of the site from my good friend dkf1979. If you go to his webpage I am the one that missed the second jump, but I think he has the third jump pics up and im there in full force lol. Anyways, I'm pretty knew to skydiving. I have only done two jumps but I am addicted. I swear it is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It is right up there with being born! LOL. It is a little late now so I need to run but you all will be hearing alot more from me as my skydiving career moves forward. I just can't wait for the day I take the leap solo. Going to be truley the highlight of my life. P.S. Check out dkf1979's webpage Im the skinny guy that looks like Tom Green, so im told. Oh and check out how I go totaly upside down. LOL that was a rush, that and the 8 line twist I got to deal with right after that on my second jump lol. NO PROB though! http://webpages.charter.net/skyjump/dan's_skydive_page.htm Why live your life only to get to death safely? SKYDIVE!
