jfields 0 #51 June 23, 2003 Three jumps. Visited a new dropzone (Louisa, Virginia). The other was for my first really off-dz landing. On my first load at the new dz, a bad spot put the whole load off-dz. I passed over some powerlines (with plenty of room) and landed with 3 other people in a farmer's field. I mean, way off DZ. Over the river and through the woods off. Literally climbing over fences, jumping creeks and trudging through swampy fields. Everyone on the load was fine, if muddy, so it was all good.

riddler 0 #57 June 23, 2003 15?? Jeez. Oh, wait - you weren't at Mile-Hi on Saturday for CSL when they were manifesting 8 loads out. For me 2:3:0 3 jumps in two days of beautiful weather. But I did complete the first coach eval jump with Mustard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #58 June 23, 2003 0:14:negative three It was beautiful weather so I worked my ass off. I ran two loads of night jumps last night for three delinquent jumpers and made them give me a case of beer apiece for keeping me from the monkey fries and cockatillios. It was DARK, but they all did fine. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingAngel 0 #59 June 23, 2003 2:7:1 1 exhausting day packing for the MWSL meet to fund my jumping/beer habit, 7 awesome jumps, including #300! 1 case of beer for #300 (but all in all we bought $120 worth of booze which led to 1 massive hangover for work today!!!) whooohooo!

pd190 0 #60 June 23, 2003 I had an amazing weekend!! 0:17:70 million 0 - nothing happening! 17 - many things accomplished this weekend. most will be listed in 70 million. did get some camera work in and some hop n pops. 70 million - Okay, where to start......got my DZ.com shirt in the mail. Got the long sleeve. (nioce!!!) 1st intentional cutaway. Had to have it for Tandem course. Went through and got my Strong rating this weekend! WhoooooHOOOOO! Finished all of the required course items and this coming weekend should be a lot of fun. Man what a great weekend. We had beautiful weather in NC for five days in a row! No beach jumps this weekend....I was to busy packing and jumping tandems...next weekend for sure. I'm still pretty jazzed about the tandem course. I owe so much beer it's just going to be cheaper to buy a keg!!! (forgot to add that I got an Orange County Choppers T from my mom and dad for a birthday present. Dad and I love that show!)

Jumpervint 0 #64 June 23, 2003 1:3:0 Got to the dz late on Sunday with questionable clouds. One low one on a student load - freaked out everyone on the ground because they thought my 15 second delay was the student and they were sure the student was headed for a Cypres fire. Then the clouds cleared and we got two to altitude. I always want more.. . . . . "Make it hard again."
