2nd weekend in a row that only involved 4 jumps. One tandem, one freefly, one hop & pop, and one flour bombing contest. Should be able to make up for it next weekend though, provided the weather cooperates and enough jumpers show up at the little shindig a friend and I are putting on.

Not a skydiving weekend, but Bridge Day rocked. B|



Bridge Day did rock (and I didn't even jump), but for me, it was still a skydiving weekend, cause I stopped by SGC on my way home from Bridge Day.

1*:3:2

Firsts:

I had several first this weekend, but if we're only talking skydiving firsts then just two. Did my first Birdman jump on Sunday.

Jump one: Average speed of 58 mph
Jump two: Average speed of 69 mph, and had my first Birdman dock on a fellow Birdman.

Thanks Pete for letting me borrow your GTi suit and thanks Phree for training and flying with me.

Funny thing is that I did a freefly jump before my two birdman jumps that I completely forgot about until I saw it on my video camera when I was reviewing my footage from the birdman jumps... :)

14 great jumps, did about 6 rw jumps, couple of them ended up in zoo dives fun anyway, 1 hop n pop, and the rest were me practicing my sit, actually held it for a while too,
as for the beer, i lost twice in a game of beer hackey, inquire further if you want to know what that is, and i landed on the tarmac trying to get real close to the hangar so i could pac and be on the next load,
also landed in a field a within walking distance of the dz cause of a pretty nasty line twist

The only bad skydive is your last!

Well after I pulled I noticed I was under a good canopy looked up and it was in the bag still..



How did youmanage to be "under a good canopy" that was still in the bag? Am I missing something here?




I typed that wrong I noticed I wasn't under a good canopy...Sorry. When I pulled I felt the pilot chute catch me then when I should normally be under a good canopy I was still falling terminal...I looked up and saw that there was still a couple closing stows holding the thing in and then I chopped.
