Icon134 0 #26 May 7, 2007 0:5:1 nothing on Saturday... (it was cloudy and stormy on and off most of the day...) so I stayed home to recover from the 6.5 hours of driving I did on Friday. Sunday the winds were... interesting (to say the least...) I did 3 RW video jumps (but I forgot to open the lens cover on the first jump... ) I did one 4-way RW jump in the point position (which was awesome... ) and a tracking dive to close out sunday... I had one close call with a treeline 5-10 feet above the tree line is NOT the place to be on you final leg especially when the winds are gusting 15-20 mph... yeah... a little bit of a pucker factor on that one...

Evelyn 0 #30 May 7, 2007 I would normally be training with my team and have lots of jumps, but I was on vacation, a cruise from San Francisco to Vancouver. Our first stop was Monterey (yeah, it went backwards then turned around) and I had a great jump at Montery Bay Skydiving. They have a souped up King Air that gets you to altitude in 6 min. and not the usual 13000, but 16000. Great jump!!! Great peeps. Great DZ. I'd jump there again.

JohnMitchell 16 #38 May 7, 2007 No jumps, spent Saturday working on our flip house, Sunday V and I went to the ballet. She's on crutches, and the clouds were low, so it was not a bad way to spend the day. If the weather's good next weekend, I intend to make up for lost time. Krisanne, I'm glad you dug the new DZ at Shelton. Sorry we didn't make it out there. Dave, come over to Seattle for the Supersuckers on Friday. It'll be great.

monkycndo 0 #41 May 7, 2007 0:3:0 That's right, I gots something to put in the second column other than a big goose egg. Planned on returning to the air in Davis on Saturday, but the wind gods had other plans. Ended up sitting around and telling lies. Had a good time anyway. Went to Lodi on Sunday. After 18 weeks, 1 day, 1 hour and 47 minutes(can you tell I was counting?), I finally returned to the air, making a jump with Fozz. Nice to know I can still fall pretty fast when I want to. Then did two jumps on a demo WS. They went sweet. The winds really were wonky and kept increasing throughout the day, so decided to be satisified with the 3 jumps. No need to reinjure the leg from a shitty landing due to the irrergular winds. Man does it feel great to be back in the air. (And Ian, the air does smell different at altitude) 50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #42 May 7, 2007 Glad you got back into the air, Sean. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
