Chaos Kitty and Yardhippie do 30 on their 30th!

Recommended Posts

And what's with the rumor that John chopped his Nitro right after I relined it for this event...something about somebody (initials TS, recently wed) rigging his canopy to his risers and not properly connecting a toggle to the control line?? :D

And damnit, Hippie, I thought I lectured you properly last time about being trigger-happy and chopping a controlable canopy. Can you say..."rear risers"? :D

Mad Props to both of Jumpers.
Hippy was a Man on a Mission! 1 reserve ride (Jump 4 or 5) so does that make it 31 Deployments??

Weather rolled in after 28 Jumps and it didnt look promising for a while.. But everything cleared.. The rock Star took one for the team and made sure we all the altitude we needed for the 30th. 14 way BFR Turned Zoo Dive. It was a Blast.

But out of everyone.. My respect goes out to the Kitty. She had some rough landings that took alot out of her. When she ran out of steam, She sat herself down. I have nothing but respect for the decision she made. Getting in 20 jumps in 98 degree weather with Georgia 120% humidity is one hell of a feat.. Especially after of some those rough landings.

I will also say this much for the Hippy Man.. 30 Skydives in a Day and at 3:00am that night, The man was still standing long after all sane people had crashed out.

Congtatz to both.

People make more mistakes when they start to get tired. I'm glad Kitty sat out too and 20 jumps is still impressive on any day! Congrats and happy birthday to both of you! B| Now, let us know if you are sore tomorrow. I know my body would be screaming!

They rock! AND they were all moving the Kitty into her new home today. I had to sneak off and go to the airport so I could come home but the two of them were still chugging along.

Very impressive day!

Oh sure, 20 and 30 jumps in a day...you guys know how to make an old fart feel like an old fart, don't you?

:D:D:D

Congrats to both of you.
Kitty, you did the right thing.
My reality and yours are quite different.

Thanks everyone! It was a very fun day! We could not have done it without everyones help! I wish I could have made it to 30 but my canopy and I were not playing nicely with each other. I believe I grounded myself at the appropriate time. I would have been more upset with myself if I'd gotten hurt than I would for not making ten more jumps.

We started turning loads at load 5. I made it through load 19, either having 5 minutes after a hop n pop to come in to the hanger, switch rigs, and head back out to the plane, or having someone run a rig out to us in the landing area and get right back on it! I must admit it was a fun challenge!

HUGE THANKS!!!!! To everyone who came out and jumped with us, ran rigs out to us at the landing area, forced us to drink water and gatorade. Extra props to Travis, Brie, Tom, and Laura who all made more than their usual number of jumps in order to keep the loads turning. Thanks to Blaine, SkyDave, and Rockstar Jessie for packing their asses off for me. April, Krisanne, Kelly, and Michelle for taking good care of us! Love you guys!

Also, big thanks to everyone who came to help me move yesterday after the dz event. After I get all unpacked, big party at my house! I have awesome friends!! B|

Even Jay Stokes would have trouble making one jump for every year old Andy is in a single day.:o:D:D



See now i was going to say something like that, but I am sensitive to Andy's feelings. After all he is getting up ther in years and we really need to pay more respect to the ancient Prehistoric Elderly.

Special thanks to Hottielicious who kept me focused, brought me food, checked up on me (and others), and was a super help not only to me but others as well.

psipyke and sickandtwisted for use of their rigs.

Packer Justin for doing a great job on lots of pressure.

If I forgot you I am sorry, but there were sooo many who contributed to this success. I had an awsome time! maybe next year I'll to 31...:o

uh...yea. Ouch. We were still tired on Monday. But it was a lot of fun, and we put together some nice freeflies and a couple hybrids. Maybe Skydave can post his pic of the one with the hanger, stander, and stingers?

It was a great day. Thanks for organizing it Hippie.

OK here they are.
Hippie looks beat up and drunk in this shot.

Maybe I'll shoot for 40 jumps on my b-day in a few months.............................NO F*^KING WAY.

Congrats Hippie for getting all your jumps and staying safe.
Chaos doing 20 jumps is hard as hell especially on a hottt day and with bad landings. It takes alot to sit down when you want to keep going. You get the Smart Skydiver Award for that!!

Wow, I look like a wreck. and that must have been #29 judging by the sun and canopy and lack of beer in my hand.
I was halfway through a beer by the time I made the hangar after my 30th! B|
