Cheach 0 #1 July 19, 2010 I was excited to post this because I needed to say..... CONGRATS Pinky (Heatmiser) on your 200th and your static line instructor rating. I was proud to be your 1st and 2nd "student" on the rope. You will be a GREAT instructor. I got 8 jumps- two of which were static line. I am told I owe beer for my first time going back to a static line after being on freefall. On a side note- As a student, I didn't jump the cruiselites. I jumped two different ones yesterday- they aren't half bad!I woke up next to a blowup doll Ash....so what do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airathanas 0 #3 July 19, 2010 Flew camera for a four-way team, one sit-fly, and the rest were organized belly jumps. Life is GOOD! http://3ringnecklace.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmills0705 0 #4 July 19, 2010 See - static line jumps are not that bad!! :7:No beer (I don't think) Mid East Skydive League meet. Necessary Equipment competed at the AA class and we did fairly well. Especially considering we are a brand new team. In May we competed in the Rookie class, in June we competed at A and here in July at AA. I am feeling pretty good about where we are and how much we have grown. Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #11 July 19, 2010 Despite the low clouds that didn't burn off until 2-3 in the afternoon each day, I got in 4 RW and 3 AFF jumps. Hey Cheach, remember, you can log your S/L jumps, just don't count them as Freefall jumps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheach 0 #12 July 19, 2010 Those weren't my first static line jumps. That's how I learned. And yep- logged em! Just marked them as SL. And hey- I tried ti go unstable on that second one!

That's a gutsy move when you got that rope coming off your backpack.Last time I ran a cert course I turned on the step and did a gainer off towards the tail, but a back flip?? Uhuh.It's fun messin' with the candidates, isn't it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's the teacher in me- I tend to do what "instructors" tell me to do.

Really! Be careful with them static lines, a chick on my chaulk at airborne school dropped hers on exit, it got wrapped around her neck on the 5th jump. She survived, but the look on the JM and safety's face was pure horror, they thought they just watch her die. Pretty scary, we got another pass and finished the jump... She was taken to the hospital about the same time we got to the turn in point, didnt expect to see her again... but she still graduated with a FUCKED up neck.

JohnMitchell 16 #18 July 19, 2010 Solo tracking jump? Excellent use of altitude. I've done them myself. How's your track coming along? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scruffy 0 #19 July 19, 2010 Now that i've figured out what those three numbers actually mean, my first weekend update /1/Beer! I don't think it's ~required~ for students to bring in beer for stuff, but since i found out what kissing tarmac feels like for the first time, bringing in a case to appease the beer gods is probably not a bad idea Peace, love and hoppiness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

millertime24 8 #22 July 19, 2010 0:5:1 5 Fun wingsuit flights. 4 of them maxing the suit 1 of them was a 5way flock. Need to keep working on those wingsuiting muscles for the topless rodeo jumps at LP.Oh and a case of beer owed for organizing a x/c wingsuit flight for the first time. Guys in the V3's had no problem but the rest of us in P2's had to pull a little high to make it back. All's well that ends well I guess.
