zulu 0 #52 May 17, 2004 Quote1 beautiful memorial attended: 2: some Was at Raeford this weekend. Beautiful DZ...nice people...even got to give some grief to some DZ.commer's - some I'd met prior to this weekend...others I met this weekend. "Some" due to pre-second time at Raeford, and meeting Zulu and CoconutMonkey. ZULU OWES BEER!!!! Ask him about the "Dancing Spider." Got to meet CoconutMonkey for the pre-second time despite having given him grief tons of time on the phone. Well, I have to say last weekend was one of the most awesome weekends I have had in a while. Raffs memorial was absolutley beautiful. He will not be forgotten. I was able to see Bill and Nicole and see old friends I havent seen in ages. Ladyskydiver and JumpinKramer thanks you for the Dancing Spider Jump, it was F@#$#ing Awesome!! Being my first Dancing spider(I know BEER!) I know have something to add to my log book. Thanks you two for letting me jump with you at the last minute. It was great. I will send you the photos we took as well. Thanks for a very memorable weekend. I will be in Zhills in June to see Bill and Nicole, I will definately hook up with you guys. BTW Does that mean Im no longer a Virgin? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll drag BRaff and you up on a dive (or two or...). QuoteBTW Does that mean Im no longer a Virgin? Well...I'd say that you're no longer a Dancing Spider virgin. 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
Brains 2 #54 May 17, 2004 0:14:?? Holy crap, where to start. Had the Gravity Rats Freefly Revolution this weekend in which me and my teammate placed second in the sitfly division. Got in 12 freefly jumps total, one tracking dive, and one skysurf video. Incredibly fun weekend. I got to jump a Samaruai (sp?) 120 a few times, flew great, opened like crap. Also got to fly a cf2 109 that absolutely kicks ass. Lots of fun this weekend and now i am a broke SOB. Got to take next weekend off to catch up. Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone have any vicodin to spare? _Pm As a matter of fact . . . I do!! Sorry to hear about your shoulder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 2 #60 May 17, 2004 0-8-0 Great day Saturday.All 4-5 way RW I learned ALLOT! Sunday was Scary. Jumps turned to Shit and scary openings. Last Jump thought I was gonna chop. Big ball of shit over my head started to downplane Grab rears pulled as hard as I could and was about fire red/silver when it decided to fly right at 1800ft. Oh and listening to Wingnut talk about his 90+ Second freefalls all weekend definalty has me wanting to fly birdman SOON! MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose.

Jessica 0 #61 May 17, 2004 1 really cool signature in my logbook:7:1 My team and I competed in our first meet this weekend at Skydive Spaceland. Running concurrently was the Lew Sanborn accuracy contest -- with Lew himself, D-1, competing. I approached him like a groupie, and he bounceproofed my logbook for me. .
