SivaGanesha 2 #27 March 16, 2009 Quote : 3 : 3 great jumps this weekend!!! : 1 : (there doesn't seem to be an icon for wine) I'm still finding it difficult to do more than one jump a weekend at AFF prices, but I'm hopefully nearing graduation from the AFF program in my return to the sport after decades away so will be able to make more jumps soon. Did my first stand up landing under a square in my jump this weekend.

SivaGanesha 2 #29 March 16, 2009 Quote I forget what a stand up landing is lately. I was actually a bit surprised to find myself on my feet--the flare didn't feel all that much different this time--but I must have started the flare just a bit higher (I was previously flaring too low) or flared a bit more aggressively. Anyways I found myself on my feet :)"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

'Boy, looks like we got some clouds coming in huh?' *silence* *laughter* Now that's funny!!! How are the "outs" at your DZ?? So it was pretty much a sausage fest!! Were you guys landing at the DZ or landing off on purpose?? There's no way I would land at my DZs landing area..... way too many video people and cameras around for my liking!! Definitely a preplanned land off with clothes ready.... Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gearless_chris 1 #43 March 17, 2009 I was going to straighten it out when I got back to my gear pile in the corn field because I needed a break after climbing the muddy mountain, but Donovan was waiting for me. Screw going to a gym, I'll just go mountain climbing at SDC."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
