OlympiaStoica 0 #1 August 3, 2009 0:5:0 Dry spell continues ... lets see how much longer before I lose my mind. Five awesome jumps on Saturday with fellow dorkzone dorks; 2-ways with Niki and Bolas, a couple of 3-ways with those two and a 4-way to add Mrnatural in. I nailed my landings (with radio help on the first two), which is awesome - I enjoy canopy piloting again ... No beer owed. I made it safely through the weekend with very little emotional trauma from Bolas' visit ... (or so I hope) ... O Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

npgraphicdesign 3 #5 August 3, 2009 0:7:0 A few great jumps with Olympia, Bolas, & Misternatural, a 5way that I managed not to screw up too badly (thanks to Jack at Jumptown for organizing ) and some good times all around. Bolas is a good guy, just crazy. As for beer? Well, I think I might owe a case or two for some shenanigans I partook in... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every 5 minutes someone would ask me how do I know this guy ... to which I answered - I don't really "know" him ... and I'm starting to get the feeling I don't really want to . At some point I was so horrified (by him falling on his ass, hitting on someone's girlfriend and using loud "baby talk" with the puppies on a neighboring boat) I started sipping Patron straight from the bottle ... I needed something to numb me up ... fast!!!!!! At the end of the day, everyone thanked me for bringing the "entertainment" ... O Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #23 August 3, 2009 0:7 or 8:0 I think I did 5 jumps on Saturday and 2 jumps on Sunday... but I might have miscounted... I chased Beth and John Hart doing some CRW jumps first thing Saturday... then did several RW video jumps... along with one tandem and one AFF video... where one of the instructors just about threw a pilot chute at me... Then I actually put on my RW suit and attempted to complete a few hybrids... but alas they weren't very successful. (which was not necessarily my fault...) On saturday night Beth and I along with Phreezone and Dasiey bought everyone Pizza, Beer and Cupcakes... to celebrate them getting married a few weeks ago and Beth and I getting married in a couple months... around the bonfire I also broke out my Torches and let Phreezone play with my 50D and the external flash (and second shutter)... attached are a couple of my favorites of me spinning torches... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 858 #25 August 3, 2009 :12:6 tandems, 1 coach, 5 fun jumps, beer for new suit. Good cookouts with friends - ribs, bacon wrapped scrimps, Crystal bar (ouch on the tequila), grilled chicken over pasta, grilled sausage...and those fucking zip ties! meeting new friends was also fun - I love that we're getting new jumpers at the DZ. Especially the cute redhead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
