Lead a 14-way tracking dive for my 200th skydive, as well as a bunch of other fun jumps.



Damn, man! You're jump numbers are climbing fast! Congrats! I hope you got pied too! Some day I'll actually figure out how to backtrack so I can lead a tracking dive.

Bridge Day BASE jumps. I did my first gainer from the platform that went pretty well. Then I tried to do another one for my 1st time off the diving board and failed to rotate enough, got stuck on my back, kicked and did a half barrel roll, and deployed facing the rappel lines, but I got my canopy turned around quickly.



I expect to see video when I get back in town! You guys are nutters - no wonder I like you so much!
Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!

Being single means I can spend both Saturday and Sunday at the dropzone without getting yelled at. ;)

Didn't get pied though.



Well, you also probably don't have mortgage and a job that doesn't pay enough -> more disposable income to spend on jump tix....and I have other...responsibilities going on on the weekends.

I'm sure this non-pieing will be made up eventually.

Congrats on the 200th. As long as you were pied at 100, you don't need to get it again for a while. Unless of course you deserve it.;)

Unfortunately my camera died for some unknown reason toward the end of the Byron Boogie, so I didn't have it to document our craziness at Bridge Day or other recent adventures.

Jimmy Halliday and his crew shot the Bridge Day video this year, so I'm looking forward to the DVD coming out around or before x-mas time. I think all the jumps will be on there.
