Did two solo FF’s this weekend in shorts and achieved stability and sit within moments. Wish I could stay in it out the door but I don’t have the feel for the hill on my back. I end up almost fully on my back and then having to push arms back legs down to regain it. Oh well. I’m starting to adjust to the sensations and am kinesthetically gaining the upperhand of right and wrong form. Next stop, turns, slides, and spins to head down. Wheee!

Four man exit, we forgot to cross grip so we basically did a two man exit hahaha. About 2k out we separated and began work. I was in shorts and I could not get into the sit. I’m better at it in my RW suit than shorts. I could stand easily but that wasn’t what we needed.
Clocked myself at 180mph hehe. We went 180’ from each other and tracked at 5k. Me being the fastest I pulled first.
Somewhere in the mix I got a good nosebleed. I looked AWESOME upon landing. Luckily it didn’t get on my rig.
I need a freefly suit or at least some pants.
It took me a little longer than I anticipated to get my license but this past weekend I buckled down, finished reading the SIMMs manual did my check out dive and passed my test.
Wheee! With 48 dives I need to start looking at my ‘B’ level requirements.
Get out there in the atmosphere. It’s good for you. Vitamin S. ;D
