Time reveals progress

Sometimes you forget how far you’ve come on your journey till you get a point of comparison. Recently got to skydive with a friend that I met back at the very beginning of my skydive journey. Last time we jumped we flew into each other with a a good thump right from the get go.

So glad we are both still loving jumping out of a plane and being silly whilst doing it. The first jump together after all this time we had a mid-air hug again! But this time it was after doing a few manoeuvres, we carried on like nothing happened. Im sure though if it wasn’t for the wind being over 200km/h you’d hear us laughing from he ground, I’d call that progress!

We ended the weekend doing the “horny gorilla” where we interlock our legs and pound our chest as we fall out the plane. We managed to still get into close proximity of each, never would have happened if we tried this a year ago.

The winds were strong on that last jump too and had to make the early decision to land outside the airport where you’re not familiar about the ground condition, the first of the sought for me. Was rewarding that I didn’t have a single drop of nerves due to the good fundamentals I’ve learnt along the way from all the amazing skydivers I've got to share the sky with.

I still have an infinite amount of things to learn but time has shown me that I’m heading in the right direction. Blue skies!
