skittles_of_SDC 0 #2 January 9, 2009 The better part of the story of my first jump of 2009 is I fractured my tib-fib. New Years day. No orthopedic surgeon was willing to work on me that day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as how it happened its a long story but I'll keep it short. I surged into some concrete as I was trying to avoid and obstacle on landing.

maxmadmax 8 #8 January 9, 2009 Grrrr.... I am so jealous of the 2008 jump from a DC-3. It's one of my favorite birds of all time! A wonderful piece of American aviation history. The Texas Anvils Ciao, Mad Max Don't go away mad....just go away! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maxmadmax 8 #11 January 9, 2009 Hmmmm....surging into concrete? How did the concrete fare? Did it crumble? Did it quiver in fear? If so, then you just might be Anvil Brother material.

That is like the third golf related reply in various threads. It could just be an awesome coincidence. I think most are referring to the golf talk from AFF.
