SkymonkeyONE 4 #54 May 20, 2002 1:7:0 It rained all day Saturday and I hauled seven hunks of meat on Sunday (we were understaffed, so I volunteered). The only thing that sucks about it was that the indians weren't there; you know, the "packa-ho" tribe. I made a ton of cash, but having to pack my own tandems made it impossible to find time to fun jump. I get very cranky when I don't get to jump my wingsuit or swoop.Carlos AzulMy webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmcguffee 0 #55 May 20, 2002 :7:1 Competed in my first accuracy competition on Sunday. It was a blast. I actually hit the target one time! My wife did a tandem jump and I was able to jump with her. She loved it! I think she might be hooked! "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slowfaller 0 #57 May 20, 2002 2:3:0 Excellent day on Sunday at Chicagoland. I did 3 sitfly jumps as the weather let up and there was a hole in the clouds for the perfect spot.

Rachill 0 #59 May 20, 2002 Very eventful Sunday at Spaceland...1st, a guy( I won't mention his name) stood up his first landing on about jump # 80 or something. We were proud. Super Dave caught an alligator out of one of our ponds.(only 3ft long) Clear Blue Skies and winds were between 2 to 7 mph all day long.I had 5 awesome freefly jumps along with 5 awesome surf landingsand to top it off on sunset load we watched a low timer land safely with 2 canopies out.Great day!!!!Blue Skies....
