Last weekend I was awarded my FF1 (freefly level one) skydiving qualification. This involves being able to fly (freefall) in a sit position (head up, back vertical - as if you we sitting on a chair) competently and safely, and perform movements such as turns, forwards/backwards movement, fall rate (slower or faster fall) and cartwheels/backloops, all whilst being stable and keeping aware of altitude.
I still need a bit of practise on fast-falling and forwards/back movements but i still passed, wayhay. And now is really the beginning of the freeflying journey! This is where the learning really starts!

Now I will be able to sit-fly with other people and really work on my skills.
I am also developing my skills in the wind tunnel, which is great fun ... although expensive!! I seem to be flying every 2-3 weeks at the moment and I don't exactly have the money for it!! Lol! I am taking a friend next time, she is looking forward to it so much!
We had out first "good" weather weekend of the year too - sunny, warm, low winds, lush! Two layers of my winter thermals came off! Meaning my jumpsuit is no longer too tight and is a bit more comfy!

I did a couple of solo sit fly jumps, the FF qualifier, a 2-way sit fly with a friend, some fun jumps and at the end of Sunday a "high hop n pop". This is where we jump from the normal max altitude (about 13000ft) and open our parachutes almost straight away, only freefalling for a few seconds, to enjoy an extra-long canopy ride. It was lush - cold, but the sunset was stunning and it was a perfect end to the day.
