  This morning I did a dive exit! woohoo... In other words rather than hanging off the strut and pushing off, I dived out head first (pushing off with my feet).
It was (predictably enough) excellent. I also landed in the 'intermediate' area (instead of the beginners' area) and did some tracking for about five seconds (where you aim to assume an inverted arch, shaping your body like a wing, in order to transfer as much energy you can into forward movement. Its used to separate from other jumpers prior to parachute deployment). During my second jump this afternoon I was going to do a backflip, but just as we were taking off there were reports of gusts to 16 knotts (or is it notts?
I'll go with knotts), and my legal limit is 15 knotts ground wind (even though I'd been in 25 knotts ok... damnit). Regulations are regulations. I'm hoping tomorrow is better and that I get a jump. Two jumps is a good number.. one is enough to get you into it, then you spend the rest of the time crossing your fingers for another one.
