First just was a 2-way with Harold on the 182. Wanted to work on diving down to catch up. He went off the step, I dove after him, but put my arms down so I got a little over and turned. I got stable, found him, and dove down. Got level, closed and docked. He backed off, sort of cannonballed down, and I came down again. I closed a little too quickly this time, but slowed down in time. He wasn't too worried about it. Landed directly in front of the hangar. 280 with no wind, so didn't manage to stand up.
Second was a solo. I intended to jump a third time, but I felt too tired after this jump. I dove out of the 182 after waiting about 8-10 seconds for Bill and Chris to go. Stable, dove again, turns, tried slipping sideways. When I opened, I was level with one of the guys and just below the other, so I spiraled down just to get some separation. With 3 of us, it probably wouldn't have really mattered. Started my pattern a little high, so I stretched out the down wind leg, and ended up landing at the picnic table end of the field.
