Peej 0 #3 July 7, 2008 0:6:0 6 tandem vids, including one that reminded me why i do tandem video. Here's the story: I filmed their landing then ran over once they had touched down and the first thing i asked was "So, talk to me, how was it?" The pax had just been unclipped, he promptly jumped up and down looked straight in my camera and said "DUDE! Apart from the day my daughter was born that was the BEST experience of my life!" So awesome Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeth 0 #4 July 7, 2008 Great story Peej! My numbers... 1 : 10 : 0 Great weekend at SDC!!! Finally had some decent weather. Not just decent, GREAT!! We did a lot of new dives this weekend. Some of them took a few times to figure out, but we had a lot of fun trying. We also got some awesome coaching from the other teams, which really helped. The best part was we FINALLY nailed the exit on our last dive, woo-hoo!! The weather was awesome - almost no wind on Saturday (some fast landings!) and light winds on Sunday. Gorgeous blue skies all weekend!! The SDC fireworks show and UFO jump were awesome!! As usual they totally rocked it and put on a great show. This was the best team weekend we've had all year. With the great weather we were finally able to crank out a bunch of jumps. Our best dive was 8 points, woo-hoo! And we had a blast surprising Bob with a kiss-pass. Boy was he suprised! What an awesome weekend!!!! "At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!! Team Funnel #174, Sunshine kisspass #109 My Jump Site Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poe62 0 #6 July 7, 2008 :7:0 Saturday we took a newly licensed jumper on some 6-ways with the L.O. They were very fun jumps and she did GREAT! I'm hurting bad from one of my openings this weekend though. It slammed me hurting my neck and my hands got caught in the risers drawing blood OW! It was the first time I cried when I landed. I've had scary openings before, but this one felt like it tried to take my hand off. It didn't stop me from jumping though. I just calmed down and asked my man to pack for me the rest of the day. ~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluvtofly 0 #8 July 7, 2008 0:4:0 Kinda took the weekend off from packing. Still packed a bit but actually got to jump. I'm almost able to hold a sit for the entire jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doug925 0 #9 July 7, 2008 1/6/1 Friday I got in a H/A clear & pull before the weather closed in. Saturday, I got in 5 good jumps. I crossed the beer line (c license landing area) my second jump by about 5 feet, and got called on it. So, beer owed! I had a hard opening due to a rush pack-job. Ouch! I also had a bad landing. I flared a little too quickly and got a "pop-up" Oof! I spent Sunday on the couch nursing my wounds with scotch. Doug. I have never developed indigestion from eating my words.

tigra 0 #12 July 7, 2008 0:5:0 Great weekend at SDC with a lot of old friends I haven't seen a few years! My one regret was getting stuck entertaining a whuffo visitor most of yesterday afternoon and missing an opportunity to jump with Bolas. Sorry about that!

vskydiver 0 #13 July 7, 2008 :0:0 The whole weekend was cloudy and yucky. My son almost got killed when a stray spark came down and lit off the whole mass of fireworks he was lighting off. Luckily he was doing it on a pier on the lake and he dove in the water. That was about as exciting at my weekend got. Very memorable fireworks show though. Went movie hopping with DangerRoo too! That was fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #16 July 7, 2008 Quote The whole weekend was cloudy and yucky. What she said. And of course it's sunny today. But I ... ...watched the Seattle fireworks with my neighbors from our balcony ...found a free concert in my neighborhood on Saturday (a bunch of Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music being played by a bunch of middle-aged white hippies ... only in Seattle). Three video clips here if anyone's interested. ...got in some good workouts ...saw Get Smart ...finally watched and returned to Netflix The Assisination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford. ZOMG that's a slow movie. ...marinated a pork loin for the entire weekend and grilled it last night (and it kicked ass, though I'm going to use coarsely ground pepper next time). ...had a minor run-in with the law. ...found the nail that's been causing a slow leak in one of my tires, and fortunately it's in a place that looks fixable so I'm adding "stop by the tire place" to my list of today's errands."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
