FallingMarc 0 #1 October 1, 2001 Wow. What a weekend. So I bought my first rig on friday afternoon, then go out with a couple of friends and have an excellent political debate over a pitcher of Killian's. Now I'm feeling good, and I meet up with some skydiving buddies and we all go see Run, Lola, Run on the big screen... what an awesome movie! I highly recommend it. Saturday morning: up at 7 and to the DZ we go! The weather is *gorgeous* and I am in the mood to try something new... I plan on skydiving a lot, so I take the first jump of the day to just relax, feel the air, take in the view, and pull a bit high to play with my new stuff. The rest of the day is spent learning to sit! What a rush!! Sitting on the air... it took some doing at first just to stop the "arch" reflex when I flipped onto my back, but once I got there... and I finally got some video of myself in freefall! I'm geared up, on less than a five minute call, and one of the freeflyers asks what I'm doing on this jump. Trying to get into a stable sit, I tell him, but it's only my second try. "Want video?" Haha I guess it's true about the freeflyers and their cameras... but it helped me out on my next jump, and it's cool just to see myself with that big dumb grin as I tumble through the sky! Finish the day with a sunset solo, and that time I could actually hold a sit for a while before corking... it's a wonderful feeling... first successful sit-fly...! Then upon returning home I realize it had totally slipped my mind that it was a friend's 21st birthday. I get back just in time to meet up with everybody, so we all take him out. Then... um... I don't remember much, except buying him shots, and this girl that kept ignoring me. Hehe, anyway, a good time was had by all. But then today, damn, the weather was even better than yesterday! I'm not feeling up to the 4 hours down and back to Archway... so one other guy and I decide to check out Illinois Sky Sports in Rantoul. It's a very small DZ, a couple of 182s on an old air force base. Anyway, we get there in time to fill out the papers, have them check our rigs out, and get on a load before sunset. Good, friendly people there... most of the time I'm willing to drive for the familiarity(and turbine) at Vandalia, but it was a good experience for my first jump at a new DZ. ANYWAY... those of you that actually read all that, cool, and those that didn't, won't be reading this anyway, so there's no point in finishing this sentence. But I just had such an incredibly great weekend. Ah! I'm still giddy! I don't make sense! Yay!Blue skiesMarc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
