AdrenalineBluez 0 #51 August 8, 2005 : 4 : 1st Full altitude H&P with Nate and a few others... Found out sd-slider has a belly down fall rate that rivals an MX missle at full flight. I could have kept up with him head down... Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cept I dunno how to go head down. "Uh oh! This is gonna hurt!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #55 August 8, 2005 0 (number of witty comments I have at the moment):0:0 "Wedding Crashers" is a funny movie. I really like the crazy woman! I really like Rachel McAdams, too. Plus, Vince Vaughn is always funny. Slip N' Slides are FUN! Ice cream is good. The only disappointing thing was that I wasn't there to see Tony win and had to settle for watching it on tv! I was hoping to see him last year...so much so that I even bought a hat! As usual, I'm always ahead of my time.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeth 0 #56 August 8, 2005 1:4:2 Man, I had an AWESOME time at the dz on Friday!! at home sick on Friday, so I decided I better get my ass out there cuz it had been 3 weeks! I had some awesome jumps with Tory, Doug (dougieFresh) and Jim! It was awesome when we finally nailed that 4-way exit!! I flew some great patterns, too. I landed next to the peas every time! Beer owed for my first jump from a skyvan!! Man, I knew I was gonna fall off that damn bar! Oh well, it was still a helluva lota fun! Beer also owed for my first stand up landing on my new canopy, woo-hoo!!!!! I think I'm getting the hang of flaring that thing! Didn't quite get to 50, but who cares, it was still a fantastic day of jumping!! Thanks, guys! Edit to add: It was also so awesome cuz my new slider WORKED!!! No more slammer openings, YES!!!!

nbblood 0 #58 August 8, 2005 0:22:1 20 freefly jumps and a couple tracking dives to end the days. 1 case for number 500. All in all, an awesome weekend at Spaceland, although I never would've thought that mud-bogging and skydiving would be a combined sport! I guess the otters have 3 wheel drive.

Yeah, it was a busy time. AFF-I and SL-I graduates pictured here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did have a brake come loose on opening which was not fun considering I nearly lost a contact lens on the same jump when I exited.------------------------------------------------------- "These are the old days, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days.

monkycndo 0 #67 August 10, 2005 ::0 Brought home a summer cold from LP. Head too stuffed up to jump. Hung out at Byron on Saturday afternoon on the off chance that my ears would clear up. No such luck. Saw an unfortunate AFF student get drug across the sooty landing area due to gusty winds. I helped reef in the main. Took a lot of work with the Brush of Shame to clean up the rig and jumpsuit. Man am I jonesing to get some air time.50 donations so far. Give it a try.
