skybytch 273 #1 January 19, 2003 Okay, I'll start. :1:1 Fun four way sit fly jump with Betsy, sangiro and Betsy's friend Sara, with Betsy's camera flier Vic filming. I'd be back out there again today but a) I didn't get enough sleep (i.e. had tooooo much fun Saturday night ) and b) sitflying with a sore shoulder wasn't real smart (i.e. I'm hurtin' today...).

mujie96 0 #2 January 19, 2003 0:0:0 Speaks for itself. South winds suck and I'm not getting any. Do I owe a case for drinking a jack and 7 up at the dz when they officially gave up on the weather yesterday morning at 11:09? I'm not sure that I've had Jack at that wee hour before... Just keep swimming...just keep swimming.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #6 January 19, 2003 0:4:0 So I was on a night SCR attempt, and I was going be middle float, climbing out of the King Air after the front and rear floats, then giving the count. It was kind of dark (duh) so when the green light went on I saw two jumpers climb out, so I hustled after them. As we fell away, there was only one person with me. Rear float was still in the plane. I thought the camera guy was rear float. Like I said, it was dark. We built to four. It was hella fun, though.

skymama 37 #7 January 19, 2003 0 (Jessica's magic 8 ball was right!):2:0 Met up with Katiebear, Chuckie, Mouth and Happythoughts in Z-hills. We had a great time, and I got my Skymonkey hat. Woohoo! When Katie gets back, ask her what her new nickname is. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #8 January 19, 2003 1:4:0 - 1 good time on Saturday night becoming the newest member of Team Bellas. - 4 jumps in on Saturday. But I didn't get to jump this morning due to some strong winds. Things died down later in the afternoon but it was too late. I had already poisened myself with some beer watching the Bucs beat the Eagles. - No beer owed this weekend.

Dumpster 0 #11 January 20, 2003 2:0:1 1 nice morning with my lady, followed by taking her out for a surprise- We bought her a Trailblazer! (Pre-owned, but only 1 year old- So it's new-to-her!) Which made for a pretty good Sat nite- No jumps- But since Saturday was so good, I bought a case of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale anyways!

skygal3 0 #12 January 20, 2003 hahaha. thats funny. the new trailblazers are pretty nice..funny story it reminded me of. This bitch I work with just bought a brand new trailblazer with the works..anyway. She parked in my parking spot one morning, I was so mad too because thats my parking spot..well anyway, it's about 8:30, freezing cold and pretty icy. I am outside doing something and I see this tractor trailer truck that was dropping off a delivery pull away, and as he turned the corner, bam! he slid on the ice and smashed right into her brand new trailblazer! Her front end was totally crunched..needless to say I had to bite my tongue as she starts crying and not tell her "well, this wouldn't have happened to you if you would have stayed out of my parking spot..."

BoobieCootie 0 #17 January 20, 2003 What Zenister's saying - 4 dz.comers + beer = one night of endless BSing over pizza. I enjoyed the company of Zenister, Weid14 and Casch after: 1 pretty stable sitfly 1 jump with Casch and Jodie (Casch falls like a bloody boat anchor from the sky), that turned into my first reserve ride. Started out as line-twists, than turned into a radical spin with me on my back. I will probably never forget the sound of the 3-ring disengage and the Raven Dash-M inflate. 1 2-way jump with Casch 2 night jumps (yes, my firsts and I did bring beer) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #18 January 20, 2003 5 years since I've seen Jackopierce:0:0 My quick sum up: there is something incredible about a band that has meaningful lyrics, awesome harmony and can pull off a duo-acoustic mix while still entertaining a crowd. So, anyways, no interesting jump stories (don't tell Jessica, but it is way too cold to jump), but I did see a darned cool concert, so I will share my story for no one to read! Back in high school, I had a friend who seemed to know all these cool not-so-well known bands (he heard of most of them from Aware Records.) Two of the bands (one being Jackopierce) sounded alright, they had a couple of catchy tunes, but he always told me, "Their music on the cd is nothing. Seeing them live is absolutely amazing." We saw them live shortly before the band broke up, and I was hooked! I still listen to their music often; their one cd in particular I can listen to everyday and still not be sick of it. I heard they were coming to the House of Blues (an awesome venue...I highly recommend finding 9 other people to go with and getting one of their special rooms!) and I immediately bought some tickets and grabbed a hot date for the show! As I expected I had a great time seeing them live once again! The House of Blues had been sold out for their reunion, and I hope this inspires the band to get back together!There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunshine 2 #21 January 20, 2003 Numbers aren't important... My weekend was fun, even if it didn't involve jumping. It's just too damn cold in the midwest. Had numerous fun phone calls. I think Clay called me about 5 times, then there was the great phone call from my favorite couple at 4:30am!! You kids are so silly. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

indyz 1 #25 January 20, 2003 QuoteFroot-looped? I must say that's a new one. Definition? Belly fly manuever, usually done to newbies but fun with anybody. Basically, when the mark isn't expecting it you fly up, get a good grip in their upper body (arm grippers, shoulder straps, hair), then drop out fast so that you drag them into a front loop. Oh yeah, 0:0:0. Movin' out of the dorms, a lot to do, damn cold anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
