OlympiaStoica 0 #1 September 19, 2010 :0:0 For the first time this year, I just didn't feel like jumping. I got dragged to the dz yesterday and sat on the ground with my little doggie; 3K of clouds starting at 4K didn't encourage me much either. Today I didn't even bother ... spending some quality time with my wallet (shopping) and my broom and mop ... O Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spent a lot of time re-reading lots of canopy control stuff, hoping it will help me keep from getting broken again. The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

JohnMitchell 16 #12 September 20, 2010 :1:0 Well, in between the dentist in the morning and the rain in the afternoon, I only got in one jump, a nice 8 way from 12,500. But since it's been 3 weeks since I had jumped at all, it was damn well worth the drive out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hofstar 0 #13 September 20, 2010 :12:0 It was a good weekend. Did a 10-way to celebrate my friend's 100th, and yesterday was my skybirthday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iluvtofly 0 #14 September 20, 2010 :1:0 Only one jump but it was interesting to say the least. It was from a hellicopter and my chest strap got stuck on a hook on the skid so I was basically dangling by my chest strap. A tad bit on the terrifying side. But it all turned out ok and there's video of the entire thing. I'll post it after I get home from work and edit it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmills0705 0 #17 September 20, 2010 :21:lots of Wow what a weekend! Well, It actually started Wednesday for me. Here is the breakdown. I went through the Tandem Instructor Certification Course (Strong) and have completed both Phase 1 and Phase 2 and am now an official Tandem Instructor. I took paying customers on Saturday and Sunday. 12 tandems 3 AFF 6 static line 4 fun jumps at Skydive Kentucky This past week has been one of best ever in my skydiving career. I went to Skydive Kentucky not knowing a soul there and left with many new close friends that will be without a doubt lifelong friends. I miss everyone so much already.

buff 0 #19 September 20, 2010 4 FF, 1 tandem vid, and a sweet-ass full alti canopy fight in the huge white puffies. Worked on my turn the whole way down and that will make your arms sore. I was out with one other and landed while she still had 3k to go on me.It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up.
