Slowfaller 0 #52 June 3, 2002 number of Jaeger shots I did on Saturday 6:4:1Got to Hinckley bright and early on Saturday morning and did a cool two way and a 4 way (geez I suck at RW). When I was stowing my lines after my second jump I had this crazy attack of allergies so I went to the bathroom to blow my nose and out comes MountainMan so I introduce my self to him, finish blowing my nose and do a 4 way w/ MM, Laura and Andyman. Then the winds were to crazy for me to jump so I chilled until the 2nd to last load of the day where I did an awesome sitfly solo. Exited in a HD and held it for a milisecond and did one cartwheel in my sit and tried one backflip but over rotated.Beer for 1st jump in TEVAS. That feels awesome!!Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
