Pammi 0 #7 April 30, 2001 So how'd it go? How's it feeling to be back in the air??Sis - how was the boogie too??"The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live." http://trak.to/skydivechick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freaksister 0 #8 April 30, 2001 Pammi, the boogie was freakin' awesome!! There were probably about 300 people there on Saturday, maybe more. Hard to tell!! I wish I was skilled enough to have participated on some of the hybrid dives. (Freefly/RW/sit all in one jump.) Everyone said they were incredibly badass. I went hot-air balloon chasing on Saturday evening and that was cool too! All in all, a VERY successful boogie organized by Raymond Adams!!

pyke 0 #9 May 1, 2001 jumps were awesome!!!!jump 1: went solo to get my "skylegs" back, and well, all went well until I deployed and realised I had inverted my risers!!! So, for a crucial couple of seconds I went through my emergency procedures, but I realised I had full control of the canopy and it was inflated and flying well, so I landed and sorted them out.jump 2: supposed to be a 4 way, but the visiting jumper from Estonia waved off early and we went along with the dive plan as a 3 way. Good jump. Cyberskydive falls really well, regardless of what he says!jump 3: FINALLY, after like 8 attempts, my first 4 way with all the plans going well and 7 points!!!(even though we counted it as 6, I got seven in my count, but consensus rules). So, that rocked!!!After deciding to quit, I got sucked in to a 6 way and packed my rig and went up one last time for the day.jump 4: Nothing happened that was supposed to (I went low and stayed!) I really should listen to my instincts more often.All in all, a great day and thanks for all your guys' support!It was good to be in the air, and I can't wait to fly with the Sistah in a few weeks!Cheers,Kia Kaha,PykeNZPF A-2584 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyberskydive 0 #18 May 3, 2001 Well patchboy- aka pyke - will hopefully get things his way with work and get himself a visit from the "canopy fairy" -LOLThe only thing that really bothers me about wearing the student jumpsuit is that it doesnt really fit, it has a hole in the ass, a my old one is hanging right next door, but it would be a little tighter than the student one!-LOLD.Chisolm C-28534webmaster@sunraydesigns.comhttp://www.sunraydesigns.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
