pinkfairy 0 #26 July 27, 2009 0:6:1 Is it beer if I got the pilot bridle out in freefall and had to grab both the bridle and the hackey and throw all of it out at pull time? For the first time! My fault, though. And no luck with that hot guy at the DZ yet. But I don't just want his body, I want his soul, so I'll take my time. Good 4-way jumps, actually I'm not that bad at 4 way, or I COULD be good if I got a team and practiced more. Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #28 July 27, 2009 0:0:0 Baghdad sucks. Not sure why I even post. :)I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #31 July 27, 2009 0:8 (I think):0 mostly tandem video jumps one of which was with dz.com's very own Phreezone doing a tandem with a guy in a speedo... I'm not sure I want to know what's up with Eric's Tongue... maybe Phreezone can explain... All in all the guy and his buddy who also was wearing a speedo had a lot of fun... both Eric and I agreed that they were great because they seemed to be having so much fun... I also did one jump with a 4-way team... edited to add: a cool picture of a tandem pair with the caravan and the sun behind it... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

lauraliscious 0 #32 July 27, 2009 (it's great being married):2.5:1 great 10 way jump, and 1 great (no grips) 22 way jump at the Big Way camp at the Farm. I learned a lot. The 1/2 jump is for a engine out (something to do with prop feathering???) on the Otter at 1800' on jump #3 for the day. Pilot said prepare for a bail out, then gave us the option to get out or stay with the plane. Everyone bailed, and I went to my silver since it was below 2000'. So owed for my 1st reserve ride. I kept my handle, recovered my freebag, and my husband is a rigger so this whole experience is free for me. My reserve flew really well too, I even had a decent landing.

normiss 868 #33 July 27, 2009 :27:0 Wow. 3 fun jumps - 1 chasing Strong's Autonomous Parachute System, 2 kick ass freeflys with the bestest of friends, 24 tandems. One tandem tried to kill me! The spin of death!!! One cutie was overly flirtatious and told me I had taken her places no other man could possibly top. (not the first time for that....) Amazing dinners with my DZ family, some very nice wines, some amazing home brew (thanks Khan!), some excellent whiskeys, and a wonderful cookout Saturday night. It was nice to have everyone over at the camper on the deck to cookout with. Dinner Sunday night with my girls and my grandson. FINALLY! Overall, a simply magical weekend. Life IS good!!!

k-dubjumps 0 #42 July 27, 2009 0:4:1 Back to jumping after my ankle sprain 7 weeks ago and on my brand new Wings . My dad also came out and did his currency jump. He hadn't jumped since 2001. It was my father's day gift to him (I know, I'm an awesome daughter ). Our first jump together in 15 years was a tube at sunset. Here are some pics of my new rig. The first two were sent by the dealer when it first arrived. The last one has a beach towel for a main.

ifall 0 #44 July 27, 2009 0:2:0 Very beautiful day yesterday all around. One PRCP and one clear and pull. No radio. Extremely happy with the way my exits, canopy control and landings have been shaping up.Flared a little high on the first one but eased up on the brakes a little and then re-flared to a tip toe landing. I love this sport! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GaVak 0 #47 July 27, 2009 ?:11:? I got in three solo full altitude jumps and two hop and pops on Friday. Saturday I did another hop and pop and two coach dives (the second one was my check dive). Sunday morning I got my A license, did a solo-celebration jump, then a few jumps with other skydiviers (Finally). What are the numbers before and after number of skydives supposed to represent? ~GavLife doesn't need reasons, just participants. D.S.#21 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
