peckerhead 0 #1 March 28, 2006 I made my first jump at Hot Spur Paracenter Inc. in Littleton Colorado. I was barely 18 and scared to death. I found my old faded first jump certificate in an old photo album. I can't read my Instructors signiture but I think it says Bob something. He was D-5465. I never talked to him again after that day. Bob, if you are out there somewhere I salute you! My Jumpmasters signature looks like Martin Something....C-11707 I salute you as well. I skillfully landed a t-10 out in a field of cattle and prickly pear with the help of an arrow I saw off in the distance. I walked for about 20 minutes before I saw another human being but I didn't give a shit. I was well trained how to pick up the equipment just in case. Nice spot Martin! Life is GOOD! The attached photo is my second jump 3 months later in Oregon. Nobody had a camera for my first one. Back then if you wanted a picture you had to bring a friend with a camera. My how times have changed.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's to 25 more Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites peckerhead 0 #3 March 28, 2006 Thanks Dave, this time last year I was jumping with my buddy Ruckert in Picton. We were the obnocious Americans who made too much noise. I can't wait to make it back mate! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites VampireGirl 0 #4 March 28, 2006 ah wow!

Still have a few pairs of wings laying around the house somewhere. It's only been 10 years for me though. Congrats on sticking around.

Ruckert's back in the air now, which is damn good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites peckerhead 0 #7 March 28, 2006 Nothing more than a bracket? What the fuck is a bracket mate? Red jumpsuit yeah. I have about 300 of Ruckerts cards left, still can't give them away. Tell him to check his bloody email. And what do you mean "back in the air"? Where has he been?

He's been out for pretty much six months & just got back in the air last week... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites peckerhead 0 #14 March 29, 2006 Bummer, he was that close and did not come and see me.... I went half way around the world to go jump with Dav3e and he doesn't have the sack to come see ol Peckerhead..... Oh well, I don' think he even has a computer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
