If Wildblue would've bought me the damn road atlas he promised me, i wouldn't get lost!!! Yeah, yeah......it's always the guy's fault.... Correct me if I'm wrong....is it illegal for women in Ohio to buy a road atlas for themselves ? Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indyz 1 #34 July 1, 2002 0:2:2 First jump on my own pack job. Only took me 45 minutes to get to the point where it was in the bag. Then I thought that I had bagged it upside down so I pulled it out, only to realize that I had done it right the first time. Total time packing: 1 hour and 10 minutes. Still looked like crap, but it opened pretty nice. And (drum roll please).... A LICENSE! Finally! I got in on a pretty messy pieing for Eduardo's 100th. Watched another jumper take a nasty downwinder into a fence. He was fine, just a couple of cuts, a dirty rig, and a bruised ego. Saw a tandem student puke. All in all, a pretty good weekend.

Then worked at the dz all day today, so I couldn't jump. Had fun though!!! Watched the guys drool over the 20 tandem students that were all girls that work at HOOTERS!!! I'm jumpin next weekend dammit!!!! Rach BooYa#1 BooYa#1 GR#50 You might be a skydiver if...

indyz 1 #38 July 1, 2002 QuoteWere you freaked out about jumping your own pack job? Just the thought of it gets my gut doing backflips. I had packed somebody else's rig earlier in the day and I was a nervous wreck until I saw him come under a good canopy. I was still a little nervous about jumping my own pack job but I forgot about it as soon as I went out the door. The jump took me down the side of a 4000 foot tall cloud. It looked sooo freakin' cool. The reason that it took me more than hour to pack was because I started over 5 times. Most of those times I was pretty sure it would have worked, or that I had fixed the mistake I made, but I didn't want to chance it. When I finally closed the rig I was as sure as anybody can be that I had done everything correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,991 #39 July 1, 2002 0:5:0 Jumped with Harry's 8 way at Perris on Saturday; jumped the new Sabre2 135 demo, too. Much, much nicer than the old out of trim demo; I suspect I was the first one to jump it since everyone else was afraid of the brand new, slippery PD ZP fabric. Went climbing on Sunday. Did this cool little climb called the Lowenbrau Pinnacle; a 300 foot pinnacle in the middle of the desert. The easiest way up is 5.7 which keeps the rif-raff off.

I'll buy when I actually get to jump there I do like to support gear stores at DZ's. I only resort to internet buying when I'm not near a gear store. I needed a new altimeter (Got a Galaxy) and a new hook knife (Metal). Spent PLENTY on ice cold Heineken too.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drenaline 0 #46 July 1, 2002 0:3:2 3: first jump was a great 2-way, second one was a 2-way that came not so good (I sucked at this one), third one was a good stable sit only minor problem was that I almost got out of my legstrap at 7k (read the safety forum its under scary ride). 2: First jump with my new jumpsuit and first jump with booties and made a perfect accuracy landing.

Slappie 9 #48 July 1, 2002 1:1:0 <--- rainy weekend. I at least went to the DZ both days. Could've made a few more jumps on Sunday but one felt good and the winds were a bit on the high side. The one I did my landing stunk. got lined up thinking I'm going to hit the short grass on the west side of the hanger. Ummm as soon as I turned into the wind my Sabre170 decided to loose all drive forward. Pulled the front risers down abit and all I did was fall straight down faster was going to have to cross the taxiway and the plane was coming in on my right so I decided to go with the flow and hit north of the taxiway in the tall grass. Had a walk but enjoyed the jump. Rachill you said there is video of this mud wrestling and you didn't show it too me?? I want to know who it was!! hehe I have my ideas but I'm not saying in case I am wrong "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

scottbre 0 #50 July 1, 2002 1(number of times I busted my knee on a bad exit that wasn't my fault:8:0 Normal weekend for me, except for my last jump yesterday where the guy giving the count decided to start it over, but wasn't looking at me so I couldn't tell that was what he was doing. I was bombing from the door so when I thought the count was finished I dove. But since the count was messed up there were still people on the strut, so I ended up getting pushed back toward the plane and banged my knee on the step. Nice little stream of blood that had run down my leg by the time I landed. On the plus side, I came off the plane higher than everyone else and was the only person to make it to the low man before breakoff (with a busted knee no lessAt least I was careful enough not to get any blood on my canopy when I was gathering it up. Oh yea, and I've averaged 14 jumps a month since I started. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
