SSHusky 0 #28 March 23, 2009 0:4:1 I broke out my brand new camera jacket. First two jumps I took video of a 5way and a 4way... My video went poorly as learning how to fly with wings... which by the way kicked my ass. I had trouble going faster as well as being able to side slide and turn... I am not sure why I was having so much difficulty, but I was. I have about 70-80 camera jumps, but putting a jacket on me makes me feel like a student all over. Then I did a 6 point 9way. I took way to long to get out of the plane with the new benches in the way, but I was able to make it down to the formation in good time. Then finally I did another camera jump. It went much better and I was able to side slide/turn around the formation to have the sun behind my back. man its hard work! I was still a bit far from the formation and slow to react to 4-way's movement/slides... I still have a lot of work to do, but I was happy to finally get the hang of it. Beer is for the first time wearing a jacket and for the very humbling experience it brought. Beth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SivaGanesha 2 #31 March 23, 2009 Quote : : : : Nothing here. Ceilings too low for AFF Category E on Saturday and winds too gusty on Sunday. It was so close on Saturday, though--we needed a minimum of 9K for AFF and we got 8500--so I had to land with the plane. In a way it's good because I've already paid for the jump and will hopefully get the full 13K when I do jump--also good to have the experience of landing with the plane. Sunday was windy--I stayed until around noon when it was still forecast to be gusty in the afternoon--winds over 20kts. Hardly anyone was around the DZ--it just wasn't happening at the DZ this weekend. I hope the front that passed through this weekend was the last gasp of winter. Hope your dad is doing OK!"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
