Beatnik 2 #1 October 13, 2007 Sorry Bill this took so long to post. Bill did his last jump on 6 Aug 07. For the ocassion he got to jump a para-sled that he used to own. It was a plessure to jump with him and it was great reason to celebrate by jumping some vintage gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beatnik 2 #7 October 14, 2007 The rounds are PCs. The rest are two Delta II's, two Dactyl's, one Thunderbow and the Para-sled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonstark 8 #10 October 14, 2007 That pic is great. I can just feel it heaving and breathing. I can feel the weight and heft of the materials and hardware while packing it and the wisecracks from my teension. jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccurley 1 #12 October 14, 2007 Don't know about the man in motion referance, in 84 I was living in Aussie. Niaghara parachutes was run by Eddie and Anne Grimm. The made copies of several bits of gear. All very good workmanship and they always gave very good service. I had A Cobra main, Baby cobra reserve, and one of his winderhog knock offs. Unfortunatley niether on of them is with us. Anne did a no pull in the 70's, I was on the load and under canopy when she went in. Eddie's demise came a result of disorientation while flying his little cessna through bad weather.Watch my video Fat Women http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRWkEky8GoI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuteless 1 #13 October 15, 2007 Jim: Thanks much for the post. I had a great tinme at the Stienbach DZ, and it was nice to fly my old Para-Sled as my last jump, 45 years and 1 day after my 1st. Thankjs much for your great hospitality. I posted that poem on a previous poetry thread started by CASCH....on Bonfire, on October 12th, along with another one that tells about skydiving as it really is. That thread was started a very long time ago, and I just added the two poems on the end of it. Perhaps I should have put them on TRIVIA.
