poe62 0 #1 January 14, 2008 I know this might be cheesy for a few, but I did my first jump of the year on my brand spanking new rig and in my new Bev suit. I'm a fairly new jumper (not even a year in the sport yet), so this was really exciting for me. Everything on the rig is still stiff and tight, so I found out pretty quickly that I throw like a girl. It took two tries to get my pilot chute out. No problem though. Everything opened fine. I had a perfect landing, and was screaming all the way into the hangar from happiness. ~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnskydiver688 0 #2 January 14, 2008 Glad to hear your first 2008 jump went well! I am headed to Eloy in Feb to get my first '08 jumps in. Jumping in winter isn't an option up here in the winter. Woke up to -15F this morning. Have fun with the new rig and try not to get it dirty. Blue skies!Sky Canyon Wingsuiters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigway 4 #6 January 14, 2008 Nice canopy but good luck finding that if you ever have to chop it. I hear they are very hard indeed to find a black canopy from the air. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

" Poe, If the chute is lost, I offer to help you look for it day & night until it is found. In fact the longer it takes the better. Maybe we should do some search and rescue training before hand.

poe62 0 #9 January 14, 2008 Thanks! I love black...I'm very stealthy and ninja-like. I can sneak up on anyone until I trip over thin air and prove my total klutziness to the world. Hopefully if and WHEN I chop it, I'll have some kind people to help track that sucker down. I have a feeling some poor cow will be wearing it as a dress in a field nearby. ~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poe62 0 #16 January 15, 2008 No kidding! I think I owe more than two cases. Maybe I should rent a truck to bring it all in hahaha!!~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gearless_chris 1 #17 January 15, 2008 I think you officially owe one case because you did all the firsts on the same jump. It's when you spread them out that beer gets expensive."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
