ladyskydiver 0 #1 July 24, 2004 I'm back in the air!!! Yeah!!!! 0: 2: 0 After having met HeatherB for dinner last night (nice Thai place by the way) and after dinner her ordering me to jump so that she could see if my knee really was ok......I went to the DZ today and jumped (knee brace on, of course, and butt slide landings). Didn't want to chance injuring the knee again although for a split second the thought of "I can stand this up" crossed my mind, and I decided against it - more padding on the backside than the knee. And, yes, the weekend isn't over, but for me, I'm done jumping for the weekend. Don't want to push it too much. Ah...the wonderful feel of being in the air again...ground poisoning slowly fading. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evelyn 0 #6 July 25, 2004 :5:0 Unlike great jumps last weekend, most exits funneled and didn't get through the entire skydive on any jumps. If this had been golf I'd be totally frustrated and vowing never to set foot on the course again. But, since this is skydiving and not golf, I still had a great time jumping with great people, and never considered for a second giving it up.

Isn't he awesome to jump with? I jumped with him for the first time last week, a 6 way, which did well, completed the skydive, but not a lot of points. When I asked him afterwards how I did, he said there were a lot of different fall rates on that jump and we should do another jump with people with a similar fall rate as mine, so we did a three way and it was great. Everything went as planned from exit to breakoff. Turned 9 points and that was with taking it slow and pausing in between each point. I had heard that jumps always go great when jumping with Dan BC. I'm really excited that I'll be doing the 4 way camp with him.
