Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

I still think a little meet for the A nd B USPA members would be fun... I seem to remember that kind of thing back in the old days for the novice jumpers so they could get some help and learn.

Saturday will be a good time and the weather is looking REALLLLLLY good. I will be out there on Friday all day.. need to remember how to jump the Triathalon.. especially with the new lineset they put on.. it flies different.

I'll be there enjoying the sun and watching everybody. Probably spend some of the day over on the patio at the Buzz with a cold pitcher, but most of the time I'll be on the grass. Hell, maybe it'll get me thinking about working on my progression again. I kind of gave up because of the winter.

Now that's what I'd love to attend.
BUT, I myself, have almost completed my 2nd rig..just for an accuracy canopy!
It will be new to me as well..
If I don't break anything. I would love to go next year!

PS could you send some pics od Classic accuracy canopies, in the air, being pack, etc.
Have fun!

I will try to get lots of pictures... and I will be sure to get some of the Classics in the air..... most of the guys jumping them I seem to think are flat packing them...just like I used to pack my Parafoil back in eht 70's.

Next time you're at Snohomish, ask Kelly to see the vid of Jeanne landing her Triathlon.

hey I was in the center of the peas wasnt I......

and its not a video.. I wish it was.. just a still.

and I was sinking in a TRIATHALON.. in VERY VERY LIGHT WINDS>.....without stalling it...

And I was landing it 5 minutes AFTER everyone else on the load was already on the ground.....from a CrossCountry Sunset load.. can you say..... less light....

[SeaKev 0]

You've got a point there about staying in the air, considering I was on the same load, getting out East, and getting back to the DZ before you landed.

My most sincere.

It was still an hilarious landing.
