Brains 2 #30 November 3, 2003 0:10:1 As usual, the first number it seems will never change. Made some fun ff jumps with the gravity rats on sat. Did a nice 8 way hybrid with some of the members of the 4 way advanced nat. champs. Had one awesome Halloween party on Sat night with more nakedness than i have ever seen in one night at the dz, and for once, i wasn't one of them Sunday started by me taking our pilot on a tandem, and i got a new nickname in the process (don't ask what it is), did a coach jump with a guy just off of aff. and ended the day with another hybrid that didn't go as well as the first. Hella fun weekend. Beer for my first forward hand dock while in a sit, thanks Shannon Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

pd190 0 #32 November 3, 2003 0:14:2 owed 0 - again!!! this is starting to suck 14 - combo of Saturday and Sunday. You wanna know what I did?? Better to ask what I didn't do. Birdman, coaching, tandems, video, smoke, hoop, speed star, beach, and some good ole RW. man, what a rockin' weekend on the beach. Went from sun up to sun down on Saturday, rinse lather and repeat for Sunday. I am totally wiped out for work today. We had a good number of people for our caravan this weekend. Mucho tandems, AFF students and just all around good times. anyone that was there will tell you it was a good time. I also started the demo process of my Firebolt 182. My report will follow the final week of testing next weekend. Every jump I did on this thing had me pushing hard and wanting more. I think I just found my new canopy. More to follow. 2 - I owe two cases. 1 for a birdman from caravan! The second for my first hoop dive! I was a holder and we got some excellent video. Nothing better than ending the weekend with a sunset speed star!!!! (Except maybe a BEACH JUMP!!!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #33 November 3, 2003 : 10 : 2 I crossed the beer line twice on Saturday... AFF, a few Tandems, a couple RW jumps and a really nice three way freefly jump wit FlymySky and R2Hubert from 18k. It was about 0 degrees at altitude all weekend long. Fa-kin freezin... The the big white puffies on Saturday though reminded me of some of the good things about the upcoming winter PUFFIES!... J/K, J/K... We got 12 before everyone bugged out an pulled... It's nice getting back into the swing of things. I really really love skydiving. It's good for me. Cheers! Blue ones...

freeflygoddess 0 #36 November 3, 2003 Bad weekend, even though I did get my 100th jump in. Too upset to really talk about it. My 100th jump was sureal after the events here, so I opted for a hop n pop when the Otter was on it's way back to Eloy, so I was the only one in the plane. It was really windy, but I needed to be alone. Marc you will be very missed. Blue skies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #37 November 3, 2003 Quote1 kick ass 6 way freefly with Canuck278, Katie, eeneR, Skydiverbrian, and Skymama.... Hey you're giving credit to the wrong screen name. But that's okay, I'll let you chalk it up to alcohol poisioning. 0:4:1 I attended the Bytch Boogie in Sebastian FL and while the high winds did limit our jumping, on Saturday I did a 3-way freefly with Mike (I forget his screen name) and Jib. A 4-way freefly with Jib, Greg (Sunnydee's better 1/2) and Sunnydee123. A really cool high alt' cross-country hop n' pop where they put us out over the ocean and we flew back to the DZ (with myself and Jimbo dog fighting under canopy along the way). Then on Sunday before I had to leave for the airport, myself and Skymama were going to do a 2-way freefly. But before you know it, SkydiverBrian, Eener, Katiebear and Aviatrr had joined us for a 6-way freefly. It was a semi-zoo dive, but fun never the less and I was really surprised to see Eener's relatively fast fall rate (who was base) for such a small girl (by the way, I got decent video footage of Eener and Skymama from this dive and I believe SkydiverBrian also shows up on the video). All in all, it was a great weekend to meet some new and very interesting people as well as renew friendships with some folks (The Bytch, SkymonkeyOne and Katiebear) who I have partying with at Eloy as well as in Rantoul. What's also interesting is that there are four people who I know from Colorado (Chris, Vlady, Ian and Ian's girlfriend working in manifest, I wish I could remember her name as she was sweet to me all weekend) who are all now working at Sebastian. Oh, and I do owe beer for jumping at Sebastian for the first time and I'm sorry to all who were there for me not paying up as I didn't want to leave the party Saturday evening to go to the beer store. But there appeared to be plenty of alcohol so my case wasn't missed? I'll pay up next time for sure.

Sorry man....I knew it was one of the Canuck screen names....for some reason I was thinking of the wrong one...but I think the massive killing of brain cells may have had something to do with it... Oh, and I never got to see that video of our 6 way....was I in it for a couple seconds zippin past you in a fast head down? I thought that was you I passed on the way down to the base shortly after exit.. Mike Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that was you I passed on the way down to the base shortly after exit. I caught you in view on the exit, but that was the last time you were seen on the video. From there I remembered that Eener was assigned to be the base and I started chasing after her and I got Eener, Skymama and I believe SkydiverBrian in view. I didn't get as close as I wanted to be to Eener, but that might have mean cutting Skymama off and I didn't want to do that (at one point of the dive Skymama didn't know how close I was to her, but I could almost touch her as I flew behind her). But then the chase for Eener was already well under way (I was surprised that she fell as fast as she did).

KerMor 0 #45 November 4, 2003 1:7:2 1 very cool NC17 boogie. I won't expand, you had to be there I jumped my new camera helmet (RAWA), it is excellent. I still have to find something I don't like about it only thing, I forgot to turn the slow 'back-light' off the camera on my first jump, just a little over exposed I did my first 2 wingsuit jumps. That rocks. On my second one, I proudly managed a 50mph avg speed I just hope it will be a bit warmer than last week-end though. And thank you Ed for the instruction and coaching for that Birdman jump, you rock. You can't determine the length of your life - but you can control its height and depth.
