Jump 123



Solo freeflying. Working on my form. Still
driving back, but able to stabilize by
pushing my rear leg down. On my final jump
last weekend I lucked onto this area and it
really helped again today. Feeling a lot
more stable.

I was able to control myself enough to do
some 90 degree turns back and forth in head-
down. That's quite an improvement.

In bad news, Eric Deren hurt his leg just
before my first jump of the day. He was
looking to his left when his legs slammed
into the ground. His natural response to
reach for the ground sent his toggles down
and his canopy 15 feet into the air. When
he came down his leg was bruised, but after
a trip to the hospital and a round of x-rays
nothing was broken. He plans to jump next
weekend.
