QuoteI'm going to be practicing some zone accuracy today and if I get the hang of it ("if" being the key word), you guys are in deep "do-do's" this weekend.
Well you'll be happy to know that my training hasn't gone as I would have liked it to go today. Not only has there been a pretty strong 10+ mph head wind into the course making what I wanted to do with ZA irrelevant. But the airplane has malfunctioned a couple of times as well. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow will go better.

Don't you think "banana" is being a little generous??

You may have to compete in that...practice it anyway, it's doable.
WTF....why am I trying to help you beat me!!

Hey Ian
I learned a few things today. A good setup in wind is ultra important. But I also learned that I need go for it while swooping into a head wind (I actually held back several times today trying to finess it into the zone accuracy landing areas in a head wind). Anyway I was hoping to get some no-wind zone accuracy practice in today and it was only on my last jump (sunset load) where I could do it (I landed in zone 2). So it's not like I didn't learn anything today. It's just that I was frustrated earlier in the day when things didn't go as I wanted them to go. But (maybe this is a blessing), I mean if I was all dialed in today, I could get complaicent and what would I need to work on tomorrow? At least I know I've got somethings to work on. And as far as beating you is concerned, well I need to crack our top five first. That's pretty obvious. But don't count us CO peeps out. We're pretty competitive at the moment and our top five (who ever they are) will have the home court advantage (we're used to swooping in this thin air of ours) come September.

Yeah I don't quite think i'm equipped to call them a bannana hammock, its more like a vienna sausage sling for me.History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

Your right, Chris. I can't help it if I'm hung like a tuna can. 1" deep, but 3" around. It's the girth that gives the pleasure. Maybe we can get Steve, to verify that size doesn't matter. I bet he get's told that all the time... hahaaaaaaa just kidding Steve.
What was up with the plane yesterday Steve?
