marcandalysse 0 #27 October 4, 2004 What, no Florida folks to tell what a great weekend we had skydiving? Clear skies all weekend! I guess we are all crashed out after jumping all day long both sat and sunday, and celebrating our airtime after our awful September!!! 11:Alysse and I each had 11 skydives, some 4 way with HeatherB and Skybrat (Paige) was great fun, and a bunch of organized loads with RoyJr and Drew....with Brothermuff65, Happythoughts, and many others.... 1:Bought a case for jumping my new wings rig....forgot to take a photo of it to include in the 'show your wings' thread... BTW, Alysse, HeatherB and I have been using Pilot canopies, they are nice, indeed!

brits17 0 #30 October 4, 2004 :2: Even though it was only 2, one was a demo jump into a football stadium for a homecoming game! That totally rocked the set... the swoop, the fans, the lights, the smoke, really was all that. Too much fun. _______________________ aerialkinetics.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dumpster 0 #32 October 4, 2004 0:4:0 Two fun jumps Thursday after work - and two coach jumps Saturday afternoon, helping some newbies with fall rate. Won a 50% off Wings certificate! Anybody know how long they're offering free cut-in laterals? And should I go for the stainless option? Took my son Esau and daughter Sarah up to the Sears Tower on Sunday. Sarah and I spotted a good landing area from up there, a nice big field south of the building. We think it would be a cool movie stunt to do a double Birdman jump off the antennas. Esau was busy trying to peer into windows with the telescopes. Made chili, drank some Corona. Played Grand Turismo 3 with Esau. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icon134 0 #33 October 4, 2004 0:4:0 two kick a$$ coach jumps(dive out swoop to catch coach and A-Check dive...) a fun jump from altitude to practice A-license check dive flow... and an awesome 5 sec delay H & P sub-terminal watch the plane leave deployment! whaoo Still need to work on arching right outside the door... gotta get the hips forward sooner.

katiebear21 0 #34 October 4, 2004 Finally back up in the air after about 3 weeks due to weather, traveling, etc. Made a fun jump with my honey which I NEVER get to do, 2 FF jumps working on my HD, and an awesome BM jump with Zulu, LouDiamond, SM1 and BlueSBDeath. The jump was a memorial jump for the 75th Rangers (pics posted in the WingSuit Forum). owed for first jump on my brand new custom Pilot 124 (all purple and white) and my first birdman camera jump!

RyanofOZ 0 #35 October 4, 2004 I finally got to jump! Twice even in Sebastian. Hurricaines have been putting a cramp in my weekends here. Did a 13,500 Hop & Pop with 5 guys, great ride and view aside from the mess we could see. Did a "catch the sit-flyers" jump with someone and almost caught a 3 way sit group but then tracked away and just watched. Saturday was great!Oz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhartboca 0 #36 October 4, 2004 0:3:2 three at the Girls' Boogie at ASC Pell City. Tried a fun 2way with Rachel - couldn't get fall rates matched, but we managed an almost-dock 1 case for first boogie, 1 for first visit to a new dz... had a great time meeting the girls that visited and the staff and locals at Pell City - a fun bunch o' people ... michaelMichael Hart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChasingBlueSky 0 #37 October 4, 2004 Not a single jump...been way too long...gonna be a while still. But do I owe beer for learning how to drive a stick shift this weekend?? I had no idea it was that easy. 15 minutes after I started I was cruising the expressway! Over 50 miles on my first trip. I still wouldn't buy one while living in the city._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

PhreeZone 20 #38 October 4, 2004 Did you try and use one while on a hill and trying to stay at a stop sign? Thats the true test of learning a stick shift.
