Jen1129 0 #1 May 18, 2004 This Saturday I got my 100th jump, and also my SCR!! Here are a couple pictures... as well as one from my 1st jump for amusement. The jump was a blast... thanks Marie for organizing, Jonathan for video and pictures, and Mark, Darcy, Lito, George, Bart, Erin, and Marie for going on this jump with me! (And yes, I bought beer, and Darcy pied me... thanks...) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shark 0 #3 May 18, 2004 Hi Jen! Congratulations!!!! That was quite an accomplishment! I especially like the second pic... surrounded by your 2 favorite skydivers. The 7 way star pic is pretty good, too! BTW, if anyone is wondering, Jonathan took that snapshot before he docked to make it an 8 way, in which case he earns an SCS and we get more beer.

ChrisL 2 #4 May 18, 2004 Congrats! At the same time you were making your 100th jump, your man was over here jumping with me. He told me that you were probably making #100 as we spoke and wished he could have been there with you. Hopefully you can participate in his #100 in the very near future We did get an awesome 16,000 ft jump in though. Ya dont get that high every day __ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyyhi 0 #5 May 18, 2004 Yeah, it was fun. . .I took Bart out twice and never actually completed the formation. The camera guy, JT, did the completion. I got to buy beer for my first 8-way. Glad I didn't ruin it for Jen. . . Congratulations Jen. . .I'm next. . .lol________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shark 0 #6 May 18, 2004 QuoteGlad I didn't ruin it for Jen. . . You didn't! Otherwise, it would have been just another 8 way and nothing colorful to talk about. You do, however, need to work on your Pie-ing skills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jen1129 0 #8 May 18, 2004 Thanks everyone... Mark, thanks for the encouragement... support from you and the other instructors is a big reason I made it to 100... Chris, I heard about that 16000 foot jump... but I still like my DZ better, yours has too many trees. Darcy, I was happy you were on the jump with me! You'll have to get video of your 100th since I probably won't be back in time... Rosa, LOL, it does look like I am missing clothes on my 1st jump, but I was wearing a tanktop since the jump was in Hawaii! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for waiting for me to finish work and get to be on your milestone jump! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Jen1129 0 #12 May 18, 2004 Quote Oops! Dumb question. Whats a "SCR"? Star Crest... something? Don't remember what the R stands for. Anyway, it's building an 8-way round after an exit with no grips. I believe part of the SCR ceremony says something like "you are a crappy ass skydiver and the only reason you accomplished this is because everyone else on the jump was skygods." Definitely true in my case considering there were 5 instructors and one more person with 1000+ jumps... And Mark, Marie gets the credit for organizing the jump and especially for putting up with my whining about "but I want a biiiigger jump and I want viiiiiideoooo..."
