Baksteen 84 #26 October 17, 2007 :4 : ? I'm not sure.. does *earning* beer compensate for *owing* beer in the tallies, if not in actually having to buy any? Beer owed: * not landing obstacle free for the first time (grazed barbed wire with arm and leg , followed by a perfect standup landing somehow) * Finished my canopy control requirements * First jump with my new helmet * Achieving my A-licence Beer earned: While checking other student's pack jobs I: * Caught a near certain pilot chute in tow, due to misrouted bridle * Caught a possible bag lock due to stows wrapping each other * Caught a misrouted static-line (from six feet away) Here's another thing. I made four jumps, yet I packed eight parachutes this week. Somehow I cant help but think I must be doing something wrong..."That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was the most successful/fun jump of the entire weekend! 1 awesome jump at Skydive Smoky Mountains on Sunday with my BF - we tried a rodeo out of the C-182. It was....interesting. It was a milestone weekend too, hit my 400th and our 6 month anniversary.
