My Butt Hurts!

Recommended Posts

was flyin a navigator 240 @ .8:1 about a month ago, after two nice stand ups and a downwinder that I turf surfed for a good ways but still pulled off, made the mistake of setting up for the same approach that caused the downwinder except didnt have the alti. to correct the situation, initited my flare then the turbulence just robbed me of my canopy, I slammed hardcore in a feet, ass, head,bounce, then flat on back, sequence that shocked and awed plenty. couldnt hear anything for about a minute due to my ears ringing from impact. nonetheless I walked away and quit jumping for the day.

took the next two weekends off, made three jumps last weekend didnt jump this weekend tailbone still hurtin for certain, got my brand new canopy spec.210 waitin for my container comin in round thanksgiving, I will get back on the horse next weekend, a little wiser this time

stupid hurts bigtime in this bidness, slammin in sucks, stupidshit and a bang session with the earth and not being able to jump the next day when its your birthday sucks even more.

God Damnit!!! Leah, she's never going to stop coming over if we keep inviting her.

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

>:(



You were the one stupid enough to take me on my first tandem - this is all your fault! Don't blame Leah for being cute and having the guinea pigs you dream about :D:D
Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!

It's all good - burnin' in under canopy is all part of the learning experience :D

The worst one I've ever had was at San Marcos a few years back. For once, I wasn't working so I left my camera gear on the ground. I pulled a 270 down winder on my Comp. Cobalt 120 at 2.3:1 and lost my right toggle. I hit as I was reaching for my risers but luckily I pulled a pretty solid 40mph PLF out of my ass :D. It knocked the wind out of me and I ended up with a bruised left foot, scraped up left calf, thigh, butt, back, and shoulder.
