Jump 236



An excellent freefly jump with Dr. Bill.
Our best to date. We exited with me as the
front float and agreed to hop out instead
of roll out. Bill wanted us to let go of
our grip earlier rather than later on this
jump and it was a perfect recommendation.
Typically we hold the grip too long, get
into a spin, release and find ourselves
separated. Since we can both hold a decent
head-down we let go early and for one of
the first times found ourselves close to
each other. A few transitions to sit and
back to head-down through this excellent
jump kept it fun. It was great to see that
we've progressed throughout the year to the
point where we can have a jump like this.
We're going to start doing a lot more two-
ways like this. It's the best way to
learn. No distractions having to get with
other formations of worrying about stray
jumpers from a safety standpoint. Less
overhead=more learning. Great jump.
