windcatcher 0 #26 June 13, 2005 :3:0 Was going for 8 jumps this weekend, only got 3 in since my tonsilitis came back, and I spent thursday, friday and saturday resting since I was sick. Made the sweetest sit fly jump yet, Chad and I did a horney gorilla exit, and I popped into my sit and held a sweet, stable sitfly for the entire dive. Chad was flying across from me, I stayed in one spot so he was keeping up with me.Did a sweet solo on a tandem load with awesome clouds; next jump, did a 4 way that launched kinda funny, but we managed to get together and play all around in the sky. Great weekend! Too bad this is the last time I get to jump at Skyranch for about 2 months. Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nate_1979 9 #27 June 13, 2005 0:6:2 I had a GREAT weekend, thanks to all of the people who I got to hang out with at Perris and Elsinore.. It was my frist time jumping at elsinore, and they really made me feel welcome there (much more than I can say about the DZ I call(ed) home when I went back there last weekend after my deployment!) I wasnt at elsinore for more than 10 minutes before multiple people came up and just introduced themselves to me, I had people to jump with, and just had one of the greatest days skydiving today.. I am also started packing my own gear (FINALLY) this weekend, and it was really hard for me to start doing that, I was lost and confused most of the time, but THe people at Elsinore and Perris were really helpful, and always willing to give me some tips and assistance when I needed it. THanks alot to all of you who made my day Oh yea, I finished my 'B' license stuff on Friday at Perris, gotta fax it in tonight FGF #??? I miss the sky...

ACMESkydiver 0 #36 June 13, 2005 Quotewouldn't-you-like-to-know: 5 : 1 4 awesome jumps during Scott Miller's canopy course. 1 bounce () to start the course off right . Don't know what hurt more - the fact that I thought I broke my leg/hip or the fact that it's caught perfectly on video Good news is that I finished the course on a high note with every landing getting progressively much much better... of course you can't go much lower than creating a crater in the ground huh? Jen -and you finished the course? Hope you're feeling better!!! Get some ice on that stuff tonight if you're still awake. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

weegegirl 2 #46 June 13, 2005 ; 12; deny, deny, deny Dave Brown was in the house this weekend out at Orange. What a cooooooooooool guy. Great coaching and organizing!!! Made my 800th yesterday. Dave Brown led a full-on-mad HD Flock dive for me. We didn't get full alti on that one and ended up landing about 3 miles from the dz, in grass up to my eyeballs, behind two fences, one of which was barbed wire. I don't think I'll forget that jump anytime soon. Other than that....... tandem videos and freeflys. Great weekend. THANKS DAVE!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
