#checkdive

Yesterday’s conversation before skydive: Dean: So what haven’t you done for your license? Me: two hop and pops and my check dive Dean: we can do your check dive but you still have a few more jumps till you are done and you cannot fail your re-currency Me: sure let’s try it… the worst I can do is have a skydive and not make all of the check dive points… and the best I could have you sign off that I completed my check dive ___ Awesome skydive official dive flow: two practice touches (Dean wanted me to do them because I was doing currency), one dock, check alti, front flip, check alti, front flip again but paused half way because I remembered that was suppose to be a back flip so was on my back, barrel rolled back to belly, check alti, 360 right, check alti, 360 left, check alti, caught a thumbs up from Dean, complete barrel roll, check alti still at 7500, back flip, check atli 7000, decide to lock on early, slight spin into 6000, but waved and pulled…. looked like I was going to have a line twist but didn’t :P…. remembered how sucky the 280 feels when hanging from it (because everyone snagged the lower riggs :( ) then came in for landing…. and stood it up!!!! Major woo hooing and yeah baby’s! from me as I jump up and down.

_____ Dean: I can’t believe you did all of that… and actually now that I am thinking about it, I think I made you do a C license check dive….. either way I am signing off that you did your A license and I will vouch for up to your C license that if you fail you can pass…
