RebelSkydiver

Hey glad you didn't take offense to my message, I just didn't want people thinking I was a complete fool turning 180 at 40ft. (which was not the case, and good luck to anyone who tries that) I cought wind of this forum from a good friend and dropzone owner in California which would explain me being upset. I have no hard feelings and I hope niether do you. this was just a downwind landing and if I were to change anything it would have been to flare higher and you don't have alot of time for debate so stay calm and worry about the problem at hand, I had ten things running through my mind and all of them ended in OH SHIT! Lesson learned and maybe was the difference between limping to the car on my way home to ice my foot, or a 14,000 dollar flight to the E.R. See you skyward, Blue Skies

Yes I do understand what you are saying and I agree however at the time all I saw was some stupid log that was along side the road, I tried to lift my legs to clear that and in a split second there is the ground. I have befor landed on my ass and it was never bad. never would I imagine it would have been this bad. I'm fine my back is hardly broken at all, just slightly fractured.

Who the hell are you to have an opinion on my landing, with 45 jumps your better off sticking to the basics, the only motherfucker out there was me. dont start this on just what some dumbass said he thinks happened. I am not from out of state I'm from phoenix and I am with the rebel skydivers, everybody knows who I am, talk to my friend John Wilsey. If your woundering why the hell my feet were up its because I have bad heals from 2 tours in Iraq. and it was not 40 feet I know for a fact I was committed at just over 100ft.(with a video to prove it) just a damn windshift no big deal it happens yea I broke my back (lucky for you) but already I am walking and doing just fine.You got a lot of nerve comparing me to a student young buck. but I will let it slide, get your facts straight. see you in the air.
