Most common mistake you see new jumpers make? Men assume women can do the same thing when they first start out. They don’t realize the student rigs can be way too big and overwhelming. I wish there were smaller rigs for new women jumpers to fly.

Watching and reaching for the ground when they land. I think everyone should go through a canopy course and have someone video their landings.
