iFly Utah

Another month gone by, still no more jumping. It seems that every time I'm off of work and would be able to jump, the weather is awful. And every time the weather clears up, I'm stuck at work staring out the window. Ugh.

I did make it down to Ogden, UT, a few days ago to try the wind tunnel out though. I did 15 minutes on Monday, and another 7 on Tuesday. I worked on basic belly flying skills--turning, controlling fall rate, forward and backward motion, and so on. Having a chance to work on freefall skills for several minutes at a time really helped. I'll plan on heading back for another 20 minutes or so in a month and a half when I'm on spring break from school. Maybe by then I will have forgotten about how sore my upper body is as a result of the 22 minutes I did this week. Ouch.
