Baksteen 84 #1 May 18, 2009 : 4 : 0 Four awesome CRW-instruction jumps at the Rubberduckieboogie with Eward Slot as my coach. Thanks again Eward, I learned a lot How I managed to avoid owing any beer at all is still a mystery to me. Weather forecast sucked, so the reality was a godsend. Only 1.5 h standdown on Saturday - which happened to coincide with lunchtime. Sunday was less perfect, so the CRW-group decided to pull the plug. I hear that later in the day it was jumpable after all, but I'm not complaining.. I'm sore enough as it is what with spending >30 mins under canopy in one single day. (not for the first time though..)"That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poe62 0 #17 May 18, 2009 Not sure. I stood up from a laying down position, walked to the bathroom, grabbed the handle of the door to open it, and then my hearing went silent. The next thing I remember was laying on the floor in pain. I have low blood pressure normally around 92/50. If it dropped lower, I think that may have done it when I stood up.~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSHusky 0 #20 May 18, 2009 0:5:0 OSU weekend #1 I showed up on Saturday at 6:30am and volunteered my time until they called it bc of weather at about 2:30. Sunday I was there by 5:45 am. I volunteered my time until 10ish. Then I did 5, 4-way video for a 4-way team that was training and didn't have their videographer bc he was too busy making money at the dz. I left at 7:30pm... I was there for 13.5 hrs. Honestly I am burned out and unlike every one of the AFF, Tandem and videographers there, I made no money for being there all weekend. Now I am burned out and can barely function at work. Clothes lay dirty and dishes uncleaned at home. I just need someone to pick me up, and its only Monday. Work is piling and I just want to cry... not that anyone will read this or care, which is fine with me, bc I am just wollowing in my self pity. Sleep sounds so good.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #24 May 19, 2009 1, 2, Waaay too many to count. Didn't get laid, but I think a brand new rigger ticket counts as a "signifigant event". No I won't do your reserve for free. 2 jumps, see below for more info. First time: At Skydive Chicago. Staying at a DZ (for a whole week). Meeting DZ.commers - Sunny, Skittles and Gene03. Packing a reserve Packing a round Sewing on a real commercial machine Jumping from aqn Otter Getting freefall video Jumping with a DZ.commer Getting a kiss passGetting a "number" - Sunny #122 There are more, but those are the highlights. WOW! What a week. "There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

catfishhunter 2 #25 May 19, 2009 0-12-0 Nearly doubled my jump totals for the year. It was nice to just have some fun with my friends. Lots of zoo dives and some jumps with a low timer from a 182 dz. Our 6 point 6 way that was to me super sloppy was bad ass for him. that reminded me that just jumping out of a plane and landing safley is pretty damn fun by itself. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose.
