PeteS 0 #3 January 14, 2006 Nice calm night at the PT, had two people new to cali with me and called another local to show. Cherried a new groundcrew dude.A little moonlight pushing through the clouds. I went first and didn't think about it until now, but I was jumping an old base rig I bought from the dzo. It was an old "hunch" from DM with a Lazer 250 main. It used to belong to David "Wildman" Grant , anyone rember him? I didn't do any thing to it, just inspected and packed it. Right on exit, I gave props to a couple of "missing friends". Everything went great, fri the 13th,WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katzurki 0 #4 January 14, 2006 Quote My jump went well, But I know others must have some "Friday the 13th Jump Horror stories" whats yours? Let's see... first solo, at night, strong wind... full moon, 13th jump on Friday the 13th... all went great. As for the horror... Getting the hair out of the rig was kinda pain, and I also snagged the PC mesh on my claws. And nearly fell off the A because the transformation caught me midclimb, yeah.

hollyhjb 0 #6 January 14, 2006 It was a beautiful night to be introduced to California. I was thinking about it being Friday the 13th right up until the words "want to make a base jump?" Thanks Pete! Our missing friends were remembered well tonight on the tower.

maretus 0 #9 January 14, 2006 Quote My jump went well, But I know others must have some "Friday the 13th Jump Horror stories" whats yours? Not a horror story... It was a perfect night, full moon, some snow on the ground to reflect the moonlight, just the perfect amount of wind to give me a nice separation from at that time an unjumped 405ft A. Opened up a new A and I actually didn't realise it was friday the 13th until I got home. :)http://www.ufufreefly.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
