gimpboogie 0 #3 February 10, 2008 thats the spirit buddy, get out and JUMP. if there isn't a DZ near you, jump out the window Next weekend I get to go to the DZ (it's 5 hrs away) but I wont get to jump until my instructors see me in the wind tunnel with my gimp ff pants and knee braces .... to ensure that i can keep atttitude, stability (ooh heck I have good attitude and I'm stable also, at least when Im not PMS'ing ) but yes, as my buddy here's going to JUMP, i'll jump at home. nothing that cant be accomplished with a 12 M kite, 25M lines, a mountain climbing harness, strong winds and a cliff. just JUMP its SUNDAY! get out and jump, get someone to bring in the photos, if you can;t get back.... but get out and jump!

kschilk 0 #5 February 10, 2008 We were supposed to have a "tailgater boogie" here, at Skydive Appalachia today but it was cancelled. After a trial run, we decided it was way too dangerous.....even goin' from the ladder-racks, nobody's s**t opened, before they hit the road. "T'was ever thus."

I had 2 thoughts as to how to respond to this....I decided to go with the naughty one (yes...I'm in a mood ).

Parachute School of Toronto is open,surely if those guys can jump... if we have -21C (sorry dont understand that F stuff ) PST might be around -11C but their winds might be keeping them on the ground, supposed to go up to 45km/hr for them, they should have kites ! I'll bring them one next weekend, or they may be ground launching, but the cold doesn't seem to do anything permanent to these guys, judging from the ladies flocking around them all summer To become active member in the Bonus Days Club you must very narrowly escape eternal freefall ... one exciting time.)-Pat Works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
