At Rantoul I...

Heh... well, I'm calling "quality" a hop and pop "demo" where I landed off,



You obviously weren't with us on the first Friday morning now were you? :o



Oh how the days blur together for you. If you recall that was the demo she was on. Remember, the media was all waiting for us in the landing area, and Beth had to make up some kind of excuse as to why we landed so far away?
But like Lisa said, it was free.

I don't think the soccer field was that far away. Oops, did I say soccer field? I didn't really land in the soccer field - it was just a big grassy area with some lines painted on it and some goal looking thingys.

Fortunately, skybytch was there to keep me company until we got a ride back.

hey hey Riddler... didn't see you after that one jump 'together'.

Yah, I didn't land on the Football field 3 times either - i mean really nice perfectly mowed green slice of grass. Very friendly locals stopped by to let us know that there was a game on sunday. I thougth about goin for my demo rating a bit early.B|

There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Together my butt - you and Petur(?) were together and your friend came in and I was off in my own little piece of sky somewhere about 50 feet above you and on your left.

Seriously, the exit didn't go off as good as I hoped, and when I saw you directly underneath me, I opted to slide off on my back to get clear. Of course, that little 'spinning' problem I had didn't help me get down to you any faster :P

There was a lot of love in the air at Rantoul.



Judging from all the used condoms on the ground when we were policing the area Sunday, I'd say there was plenty of lovin' going on on the ground as well. Specifically, right outside my tent. Let's all pick up after ourselves next year, shall we?



im innocent i swear!!! no pictures i hope

Just hold your horses Mary. I'll be back driving over the road before you know it, and I'll make it a point to stop in Denver EVERY time I go through there, ok?



Promise? Really I live about 50 miles north of Denver, just off I-25. But for you, I'd drive down to Denver to see you.



Off I25? Dayum, even better, me thinks. If I can talk 'em into giving me the west runs again, I'll be on 25 quite a bit. Head office, Billings, MT. Used to come down 25 all the time.

p.s. Never made it in with the film today. Monster delivery tomorrow at the house too (Fridge, Freezer, Range, a dozen windows, 80 cartons of Laminate flooring, 200 2x4's)......I'm gonna be a busy boy.....

Didn't get near the sleep I had planned...but...
Did have a fantastic time for the fifth year in a row.
Didn't meet a single dz.commer unless you were at the campfire listening to Rock & Roll Rob late nights...but...
Did talk to quite a few that probably are and the topic never came up.
Didn't get much video after my helmet logged 20 sec more freefall then myself...but...
Did get one helluva video of ground rush (at least I hope, if Cajones can fix the tape. My Protrack clocked it hitting the ground at 72mph)
Didn't do near as many jumps as I had planned (9)...but...
Did get to log a DC-3.
Didn't get myself a bottle of Yukon Jack like I had planned to do...but...
Did drink enough beer that it Didn't matter.
Did feed the couch fire...but...
Didn't get burnt.
Did meet the mayor's wife...but...
Didn't join in the group of my friends that she was trying to talk in to streaking around the mayor's golf-cart.
Did introduce the mayor's wife to Lenny...but...
Didn't have anything to do with him dropping trou in front of her.
Did set up the idea of Lenny steaking around the fire...but...
Didn't/Wouldn't drive him myself. (Thank you Kenny for the use of your golf cart and your outstanding driving skills)
Didn't see quite the turn out I had expected...but...
Did have TOOO MUUUUCH FUUUUN!
Won't be back next year due to family vacation...but...
Will want to hear aaaall about it.

Got to eat and sleep more than I ever have at any previous convention, cuz of the weather. Got to listen to my honey carry on about his jumps, that was terrific. Got to spend a couple of different times in the DZ.com tent (thanks for the hospitality guys!) even if I could only stay for 30 seconds at a time..btw, who is babysitting my bottle of maragarita mix? Maybe we'll get to drink it together next year. Got totally drenched to the skin trying to get all of you guys to hangar 2 in the big storm, and then got to be interviewed on tv, looking that way. Got to explain to the press that our 'demo jump team' has a really good sense of humor, and that they just wanted to see who was paying attention to their landing (when you decided to land 4 blocks off the spot during opening ceremonies) Got to tease Gimp when he landed out for the second time in the same day....2300 acres and he couldn't hit ONE! Darn, I missed him in the buff, but I'll look forward to it for next year. And if one of you guys has a picture of Patrick's A$$ on stage with the hell fish, I'll give you ten bucks for it!

I believe that would be me. You never came back so I brought it home for "safe keeping".

I was there. :)


I was one of the chaperones for the overdrunk young chick that was loud and sometimes obnoxious if that helps ya remember.
I'm taking a guess here but are you the gal that was in the lawn chair that leaned over to (what seemed like) her daughter and said "Don't be that girl"....just a guess.

Not true. Besides, since I now have the permanent make up, it doesn't matter.

The only way I'm going to keep my mouth shut about it is if you really do share that bottle of maragaritas with me.
