captain1976 0 #2 November 16, 2009 Congrats to all. Elevation is too high for me. Jumped there once and felt like I jumped off a roof. I'll just leave Nevada to you younger guys.You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #3 November 16, 2009 Nice one John, Congrats mateAnyone else from Dizzy on the load?? You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 2 #4 November 16, 2009 JT (JTVAL not JVTAL) was on the record and I am sure there where several others but JT and myself are the only "regulars" that I know of. The rest will have to post. JT is online now and I am sure he'll have a great write up about it including pics. You can check pictures out at Terry Weatherford's website fallingcamera.com Oh and we missed setting a POPS record on the last jump because on jumper had brain lock and couldn't find his slot.

BTW- Three records were set in mesquite this weekend. the FF way the Girly way an the big way. My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #10 November 17, 2009 QuoteIt was a fun weekend! Nice save Jeff :) Yes. Jeff has special mention in the "view on mesquite" article. He will have the same in the pchutist article I write if they have room for it. As I said above we won't have alot of room so I'll write the article and let them edit is as necessary to fit it.My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 2 #11 November 17, 2009 JT are you going to write something upn for blueskies mag as well? Hopefully you can get Terry to let you submit some of the pics he took. I have our base pic from the last jump on my wall in the office. Did you get a chance to see that one? You know the pic that cost Craig a reserve re-pack MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #14 November 18, 2009 Quote Very cool. Nice story, too I'm very impressed with the newspaper story. A 46 way is something to be proud of, but getting a "regular" paper to write a skydiving story without including any of the cliches about how dangerous it is or referring to jumpers as "daredevils" is pretty damned rare. The writer focused on the technical difficulties of the jump, not the "thrillseeking" part. I think that is a record in itself"There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

jtval 0 #16 November 18, 2009 Yea the local Mesquite paper/mags have done well with the dropzone. I wrote a few stories for them. They wrote a few of their own, as well. They definitely report on the wonders of free fall, not so much the "sensationalism of the death defying feat at hand." John, I have no info on blueskies magazine. I won't be writing one because skydive mags want exclusivity. I have only seen one completion photo so I couldn't even write 2 different articles and change the photos. I hear about Craig's ride. Was it a bi-plane or side by side?My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catfishhunter 2 #17 November 20, 2009 Thanks Rosa :) It was a Bi-Plane. His Cypress was mis-calculated..yeah thats it..mis-calculated It had to be because mine didn't go off The Picture is Gorgeous though MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.
