rkillian 0 #1 December 1, 2003 Yesterday, just 7 months after my first jump course, I made my 100th jump. On that same jump I got my SCR. On the sunset load we made a 12 way BFR, I floated across the center of the ring to the other side and we made another BFR. I was supposed to stay in the center of the ring, but thanks to my back sliding we got another point. (always gotta find the positive in things) And if all that wasn't enough - on landing I was met with a big hug by packer Bill, who was completely naked. He claims it's a tradition somewhere, although I've never heard of it. Thank you to everyone at Lake Elsinore who made my 100th jump my most memorable jump yet. Especially Rich for organizing it, Jonathan for shooting the video, and Justin for giving us a little extra altitude just in case we needed it. Time to start working on number 200.

rkillian 0 #4 December 1, 2003 Thanks to a long spot, we landed too far from the pond for me to get wet. Thanks to it being the end of a long weekend, there wasn't anyone around to pie me. And thanks to me making the dropzone Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, I got out of buying beer. No worries though Mark - I'll bring some cheap beer for Saturday night. But the 11 of you together won't be able to get me in the pond.Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You see, the MC is an Aggie and still recovering from the beating my UT. As for Ruby, she can run, but she can't hide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aero04 0 #13 December 3, 2003 Very cool, Congrats!! I did my 100th a couple of weeks ago. We even tried to get an SCR too. However, I, the eighth and final person needed, did a spectacular job in taking out the formation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rkillian 0 #14 December 3, 2003 They made the SCR very easy for me - 9 of the 12 people were AFF instructors, 1 was a coach and the last guy had about 200 jumps. All I had to do was make sure to fall stable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
