Consol - Jump 12 - 12,500ft

Jump # 3 of the day and I’m feeling more confident in my jumping ability and more at ease now.  I decide I’m going to work on the rotating on all axes section of the proficiency card.  This means I need to do a back-flip, a forward flip and a barrel roll.  Even though I got credit for the back-flip on stage 6, it didn’t go as good as it could have.  So I decide on this jump I will try the back-flip.  I figure I should have time for at lease 2 attempts.

I’m out the door and stable fairly quick (diving exit getting better).  Go for the back-flip and this time pull it off a bit better.  I get a little sideways though.  I’m happy with that for now and still have a lot of altitude so I begin driving forward and initiate the barrel roll.  Though it is a little wobbly I felt good about it and also quite enjoyed it.  I spend the rest of the jump practicing my tracking.  I pull at 4000ft.  No issue with the chute deployment this time and I’m on the ground in no time with an on target (3 for 3 for the day) stand-up landing.  It looks like I should have just enough time for a 4 jump.  Although I’m getting quite tired by now.

Blue skies!
