Level 6 in the student progression. 8-9-99 I was actually a little worried about this one for two reasons. First of all, Jon had just recently done his level 6, and did a little unintentional backflip, second of all I had a new instructor for this one. Just a few days before I was to go up with Bruce, he had 'dumped' a student pretty high - around 10,000 feet if I remember. I was just hoping he wasn't jumpy, and pulled the student's chute too soon. I soon found out both of my fears were unfounded. Bruce was an awesome instructor, he knew the program better than anyone else I had met. I also had nothing to worry about the jump itself. I level 6 is just a 360 degree turn to the left, and then back to the right. I had just a small problem with my legs (not out enough) but other than that, everything was perfect. Bruce remarked to someone that I looked like I already had 100 jumps. Yeah, right, I wish. It did feel pretty good though.
