tumbler 0 #1 August 3, 2005 Well so far anyway. Took off of work early to take a friend out to the DZ so he could make a tandem. He had the time of his life. I got to ride up with him to 6k and I got out so they could go on up and do their thing (I am no where near good enough to get out with them). Waht a blast we had.. Then the best part of the entire day.. I had my first 2 way 2 point jump. What an incredible experience to be locked on with someone else in freefall. We took grips, did a 360 and took grips again. It was by far the coolest thing EVER. Finally someone could match my fall rate enough to dock!! My goodness this sport is so cool.. but I believe it must be worse than crack in its addiction factor as I cant wait to get out and do it again. So anyone else care to share their best skydiving day ever (so far anyway). Later… Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchYourStep 0 #2 August 3, 2005 Mine was last Sunday. I got 4 jumps in and they went as follows: Jump #25: Did my A check dive and passed. I was a licensed skydiver when I landed and my family was there to see it. Jump #26: Rode to altitude with my dad for his 1st tandem. I gave him a hug and bombed out first. It was a blast. Jump #27: Played a game of Simon Says. The other guy won when he did 3 front flips without untucking and held his heading. Jump #28: Did a 3 way hybrid. Me and another friend docked on each others' arms. The 3rd guy held onto our chest straps and did a stand. I could really feel us pick up speed when he did his stand. It was awesome!

WatchYourStep 0 #4 August 3, 2005 We were going to do a Horny Gorilla on Jump #27, but we didn't have time to dirt dive it and I didn't feel comfortable going out of the plane without dirt diving it.

lisamariewillbe 1 #5 August 3, 2005 I looked at my journal , trying to find my best skydiving day, and I just couldnt choose. They all have been extremley good, even when I got hurt. I have so many good memories, from my first tandem, to Aff, to first 3 way (THANKS KIM AND FRASER) to the weekend in Delmarva where I got my check out dive with Scrumpot, gweeks, and cweeks. This has been a awesome sport for me.Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigSky 2 #7 August 3, 2005 I did my first horny gorilla this weekend. What a blast that was. then on the same dive I got into a sit and held it for the first time. I also got my first multiple dock dive in this weekend, first time out of the Otter, first way out landing, first boogie. Man thats a lot of beer. Without a doubt this was my best weekend so far“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, th Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(The cloud stretched all the way up to well above 11K ... I freefell all the way alongside it). I surfed the edges of other smaller clouds under canopy on the way to landing. Very scenic sky that day! The other best one was my first 3-way jump (with people who weren't my main instructors), which meant I felt I was finally progressing on RW, and I wasn't as nervous as I was with instructors.
