Illinois record attempt @ Hinckley

Recommended Posts

Well, I have yet to make it out to SDC. I'd be up to meeting out there, but at this late point in time we are probably better off sticking with Hinckley.
At last count we may be as big as a 15 way, which should not be all that hard to put together......in a few attempts. We're jumping an Otter, so we can launch a decent chunk out the door. If the base can stay together, it's just a matter of the rest finding their slots before break-off. The fun is in the trying.....it's not like we win any prizes.

That's the attitude everyone needs!! I personally don't care if we break a record or not. All i wanna do is meet more cool dz.com peeps, drink some margaritas, and have one helluva good time!!

Guys, you have a commitment to a team and free coached training. With your low jump numbers I think it's better for you to build your experience before joining the crew on the DZ.com attempts. That's why we talked about having multiple dates so we could jump around and see some different DZs. We'll all make plans to be out there again and be part of this fun family: DZ.com.

Greetings from Hinckley!! Me, Vallerina, skymedic, and andyman are here. I've done 2 jumps so far today. I'm loving my new canopy. Skymedic just got conned into going on his FIRST tandem jump to help someone get their TM rating. Hope to see more of you guys later today or tomorrow!!

I did the same this p.m. The "master" in training flared about 15 ft too high and we pounded in. Difficult doing a PLF with someone strapped to your back.
Next jump was a 5-way tube, though, which made up for the bruises.

Sunshine, Medic, and Val missed out on the partying last night. We had a kick ass party for Andre the plane owners birthday. They abovementione wusses went to bed early! Suckers! Somehow, I still managed to beat them to the DZ.
It's shaping up to be a *GOOD* weekend.
And Lisa? You are SO going down....

I'm at work all weekend.


Stop being a wuss. I have to work 4 PM to Midnight Saturday and Sunday but I still got in 3 Cessna loads today. (Cloudy!) Hopefully I'll get out of the Caravan at Atlanta Air Sportz tomorrow. It's a little closer to me than SD Atlanta so it'll be easier for me to get to work.

that's right folks, the dz.com record was too easy to get on bellyflyin (yeah right) so we did a hybrid instead. Hopefully we'll duplicate it and get video in vandalia in a week and a half so we have somethin to show....
