Lost Prairie Organizing '05

Recommended Posts

Some old schoolmarm. More importantly, are you finally bringing your ass to the Prairie this year?! It's been way too long, we need to jump & drink beer together! Plus, we can cruise over to (or possibly even jump into) the Lang Brewery where, as you know, they make pretty good beer.

Blues,
Dave

Dave, Jeannie.....nothing I would like better than LP this year...but.....making a long story short....Im retiring from UNLV.....sold my home in Vegas.....having a new one built in Utah......so as much as I want to hang.....its just not in the cards this year.
Retirement is looking pretty good so at least after I get the move all completed my time will be my own.
And......I do know MAd John and would love to jump with him again.

I didn't read anything in that reply that precluded your attendance at LP. In fact, you're moving closer to the Prairie! Oh well, if you can't make this one, how's Moab look for the end of September?

Moab......I was just reading in a Utah paper that the state is going to try to shut jumping down at Moab.

Did the article say why they want to or how they plan to go about it?

Mad John, your organized dives are NEVER boring..

maybe a little tooo exciting sometimes.. but never BORING :S:P;)



Ain't that the truth. Hey MJ ... think it's time for the Choir to resurrect "They Did a 4 Way" ... ;)

Hum along everyone ...

Reserves, I've rode a few
But then again, I pulled my handle
Mad John, the lazy fool
He uses Cypres, to end his freefall

He's planned each dirt dive out
Each careful point along the Prairie
But at two thousand feet
He's planned a four way

I obviously wasn't on that 4-way (my best that day was a 4-point 2-way), but I remember identifying each of the points from the ground. Given that I don't think I'd done a 7-point 4-way from full altitude yet, I thought it was pretty awesome. :S:D

Don't you just love artistic license? and although I was honored by the performance at Crack Night I think the record should be set straight for all the newbee's coming this year:

1) it was a 7 point 4-way that started at 4.5k
2) my @#$%$^ Cypres fired after I'd opened my main, above 1200 feet, AGAIN ( they say it can't happen, don't believe it)

3) it's really all Lutz's and vonNovak's fault, Lutz for almost falling off the plane on exit, waisting valuable time, and Billvon for coming back to the center for the 7th point after he'd said he would be out of there at 2.5, and I sure couldn't let him be there by himself.

4) yes Lutz and I should have turned our Cypres' off but I had just gotten in at 4am after a 7 hour road trip from Spokane with Pete Hill & John Culler (highway closed to to accident, had to detour hours and much beer later)

5) the whole thing was best described by Tony Ross, who, walking out of the bar, looked up and said " 4-way, hey these guys are good, they're really good, they're really low" Pop,pop.

History class adjourned.

Bozo,

I've missed the Outlaws at the Lodi Boogies the past couple of years. Still wear my shirt proudly at LP every year.

Join us sometime.

that kind of reminds me of the things that were said in front of the hangar a couple of weeks back..

"These guys are crazy, they're really crazy, they're REALLY LOW..." ;)

John, it seemed kind of odd to go to the Kathy Boogie when Kathy wasnt even there. I hear shes back so look for me next year at Lodi.

I'll look forward to it, Bozo. With Luch they'll name it after her again. It's been the Otis Boogie (Willie boy's little dog) for the past two years, and not much advertizing since the founders have moved on.
