Jessica 0 #1 June 2, 2002 Well, they're weak compared with last weekend, anyway. $20 spent for B license (finally faxed in paperwork):3:0Made one jump yesterday, then had to go to work. Got two in today, and they were schweet! The second was a 6-way that I got to SWOOP (I *heart* swooping) and we turned three points. I flew my slot like a mofo. Yay me!Also, I think I'm finally learning to fly that Kleenex tissue of a main I have. I stood up both landings today. Yeeha.Weekend ratio rules: first number is how many times you got laid, or, alternately, some other number that was significant to you in the past weekend. Second number is how many jumps you made. Third number is how many cases of beer you owe for skydiving firsts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #2 June 2, 2002 0:3:10 cause Hooknswoop is in Houston, 3 jumps would have been 1 or 2 more but hypoxia won, but I figured out my landings....steering lines are to long, grabbed the top of my toggles and so far in 0 winds at 5000 MSL, I had perfect tiptoe landings. and bought beer for my first helicopter jump....it's super cool when your DZO owns and fly a copter.

skybytch 273 #4 June 2, 2002 190 mp3 files downloaded so far (dsl and KaZaA rock):0:0Stuffy nose kept me out of the sky. But I get to do 16-22 ways with Jan Meyer next weekend and I did 33 jumps last month, so I'm not too unhappy about taking a weekend off.pull & flare,lisa"Try not. Do or do not.

PhreeZone 20 #5 June 2, 2002 1 blownup NEW main that I got to check out (It was someone elses):5:2That Nitron was SHREDED! It blew out the bottom skin in 3 places, once Nose to tail, another spot C Line to tail and in a third between the B and C attachment points. It only had like 5 jumps on it too .... Did my first intentional CRW(no docks, but so close), followed that up with jumping my new camera suit with a 3 way(Firefly ROCKS!!!!), Filmed out LewMonst on her skyboard, did a HD 2 way jump that under canopy I think a filling cracked or something... my face HURT on the glide back, did a 6 point 4 way that would have turned more points but one guy brain locked and we had fall rate issues. And they say Freeflyers can't fall on their bellies....Lisa's boogie was going great when I had to leave last night. The pink pantie jumps were a roit to watch, so were the coconut bra jumps! Her ash dive looked GREAT from the ground, the formation did'nt build at the 33 way thay had exited, but we could see the ashes hit the airstream clear as day from the ground.... Lisa's home again If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #8 June 2, 2002 0:6:2No comment on the first number. My 300th was also my first CASA jump, so that's a double-beer. Jumps were fun, but I'm kinda feeling like I'm in a rut progress-wise (see Dock Block thread in the FF forum). Did manage some really nice long surfs out of my canopy though.

Vallerina 2 #9 June 2, 2002 only 60 days till Rantoul:8:1The case (which I'll bring next time, I swear!) was for my first 20-way (with Andyman, too)!!! I was slow to docking on it, but I got there darn it! Hinckley rocks! We had great skydives all day yesterday, and a great bonfire goin last night. I can't wait to visit there again soon!Special favors come in 31 flavors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpySmurf 0 #10 June 2, 2002 107 (mph, my average belly fly speed in a slick RW suit but without a weight belt - call me Super Floaty): 5: 2Crossed paths Medic, Val and Andy at SDC on Friday eve. Got a demonstration from diverdriver on how to hook up a main (my new on being the example) and owing him beer for such. First jump on new main - even brand new ZP proved no match for my patented 'Grapple Pack' (tm) technique.Winds got strange Saturday afternoon, last jump was an orbiting side slide and dock drill dive with an experienced friend. Got to find out all about riding thermals under canopy afterwards. Oh yeah, we had a skydiver wedding as well, with matching jump suits for all the chicks and matching ones for the guys.

eeneR 3 #11 June 3, 2002 It was definatly an interesting day on saturday. I had the honor of being one of the bridesmaids in the wedding. We had a whole dive plan all set. However it was scheduled to happen around 4pm, and by that time the winds had started to kick up and become unstable. Not to mention the thermals. I rode thru some earlier in the day. Not a whole lot of fun.Im just glad that the Bride picked an ok color for the Jumpsuits. God forbid I had to spend $200 on a jumpsuit that I would never wear again... Yeah right, had it been a regular wedding it would have been $200+ on a dress I know I would never wear again. All and all it was a great experience, and hopefully we will get the jump out of the way next weekend so we can get the video togther...And Grumpy!!! Speed up dude!!!! more weights!!! come on so we can kick some 4-way A$$eeneR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
