This video was my first time while on leave.
I flared a little too early and the chute collasped too soon.
I need to go back to the 250' foot tower before I do live jumps again.

NO... i wasn't freakin out...
Before we pull, we have practice touching the pull hackey sack 3 times.

My mom thought I was freakin out at 10000 ft in the air and wanted to open my chute early...

It really is a thrill. I was expecting the feeling of vertigo, you know the dizy feeling from high places... and the feeling of falling.

To my surprise, when I let go of the plane, I slowed down. Granted I was falling like a rock, but the plane moving forward was faster than me going down... so i slowed down, and it was just windy from there.

AND AGAIN:
I was NOT freaking out. I was almost in a sense of Nirvana.. it was just the greatest feeling ever. I got hooked and went back out again.

The jump was from 12,000 feet.
