Just completed a solo jump from 3,500ft....phew!

Exit wasn't much fun, managed to jump away from the plane but didn't arch my body so ended up spinning more than i would have liked. Took control, there were no problems with canopy or lines. Landing was a bit heavy but i was un hurt. I am very glad to get it out of the way, and it's given me even more respect for those that train for and potentially do that into combat.

Well done mate, that must have been an interesting moment getting control before your arch came!
Massive adrenalin...
How many jumps have you done?

[Dixie66]

First one!

When he caught up with me the instructor said it was a terrible exit, but everything else was ok apart from a fairly fast and heavy landing : )

[ofens]

Great! Well done, bet you're looking forward to the next one!

Not for a while, i'm just glad to get it out the way.
