cool shots! you should definitely work in a pic of yourself freefalling through the trees!
btw... Did my AFP 7 on saturday and OOPS... I still can't get the diving exit right (I tumbled 4 times), then the 360's full body turns were awesome, but then I really messed up the landing... Stabbed a 90-degree turn at like 30 feet. What was I thinking? My instructor was giving me landing instructions but they seemed kind of counter-intuitive (it was a low wind condition so he made me land downwind, and at the last minute I thought "hey I need to turn around to be upwind! let's stab a turn... OOPS!"). I flared as much as I could and did a two-step-then-fall-on-stomach landing. Not hurt but that's a valuable lesson I've learned! I think I was lucky to learn it without hurting myself.
Now the reason why I was totally confused is because I was very, very nervous... because my instructor was no less than Roger Nelson! He was really cool about it, but it's still intimidating for a newbie...
I'm starting to save for a gear. Gave up the chip for the TT so I can hopefully buy a gear this summer!
