Vallerina 2 #1 May 21, 2006 The format is humps:jumps:beer owed 0:8:0 The Sirens let me play with them this weekend at Chicagoland Skydiving (with Andyman filming us a few times!). I had a fantastic time, and they're getting me addicted to 4-way! I can't believe how much I learned by jumping with them, and I have sooooo much to learn. I wish I could jump with them again today, but I'm supposed to be studying today. And last night was a FIESTA! There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J_Cook 0 #2 May 21, 2006 0:6:2 Had a great weekend, 2 solos, 2 3-ways, a 4-way tracking dive, and a coach jump. I guess being tall and skinny makes for a good tracker, 2 out of 3 on the 4 way couldn't keep up. First solo, first jump on my own pack job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkycndo 0 #10 May 21, 2006 :6:0 Made RW jumps from 10 ways up to 16 ways. The weather was predicted to be shite, but we still got a bunch of loads up. Davis got their 2nd Pac 750XL so we did some formation loads. Chris and Ray flew some tight formations. Just the last one went from a full altitude formation load to HnPs as the clouds finally won.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

micro 0 #19 May 22, 2006 Quote All that in a single jump? Dayum. yeah... but a little clarification... the wrap didn't cause a cutaway... i came to dock on walt and came on him to high and I wrapped him... my main folded him up, then dropped me down as it folded into a wad and spun up. he got out ok and after falling a little while, mine opened back up. freak me out and I screamed like a little girl. well, that's what walt said anyway, but I don't believe him. the tear in the main came on our next dock attempt, i came in too low underneath, went to rears, floated up but not enough and he snagged my center cell w/ his foot instead of my lines. hence, a nice tear in my fusion. I didn't even notice until i was packing it up after landing. it didn't affect the flying of it at all. we did finally dock, he was able to get down to the lines and then i really did scream like a little girl, i was so excited. but the cool thing was that we went a super rigger's house, Bill Lee, and he fixed me right up, on a sunday, right then and there! AWESOME!! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
