JohnMitchell 16 #1 November 25, 2012 I made 4 wing suit jumps today, the last one from 15K with Andy Farrington flying video with me. Not too bad for Seattle in late November. So, how did your day go today? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingRhenquest 1 #2 November 25, 2012 Meh, it was supposed to be nicer than it actually was. It was supposed to get up to around 60 today but it stayed cloudy all day and never made it over 40. I got a couple of jumps in yesterday and if it's nice I'll do two or three more tomorrow.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

nigel99 534 #17 November 25, 2012 One of the best weekends I've had in a long time. I love learning and this weekend was full of it. Highlights were A successful starcrest (rules to get a crest are that you must dock 5th or later on an 8 way). Exited rear float and was in my slot waiting for the base to complete, so I could put my hand out and take the dock! Tracking away from the 8 way and being certain I hadn't cocked my PC, was also fun, but not a thought I'd like to repeat (I had done it) Learned how to gear up tandem pax and how to hot fuel the caravan. Edited to add: also learnt that hosing the spot for the dzso, causing a go around makes both him and the pilot very grumpy. and results in a 'talk' Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

SivaGanesha 2 #20 November 26, 2012 Didn't jump this weekend but a couple of weeks ago I finally got my 'A'--this weekend I completed the deal to purchase my (first) rig. It will be delivered this coming week and I will need to have it inspected by Action Air before jumping it of course! Looking forward to getting my 'B' very soon--I am doing the canopy course at Skydance next weekend weather permitting and am told with my jump total I should be very close to my 'B' as well. Then it will be off to some boogies during the winter months!"It's hard to have fun at 4-way unless your whole team gets down to the ground safely to do it again!"--Northern California Skydiving League re USPA Safety Day, March 8, 2014 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karen89 0 #23 November 26, 2012 Bad- First weekend I haven't been at my DZ because it was too cold..and the winds were too high for students. Planes flying over my house all day, at one point i had to put music on because it was pure torture. But good cause now I'm with my boyfriend and we are talking about how one day we will skydive together. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
