Give it up for DzDiva!

With less than 30 jumps, Laurie (DzDiva) did a stand up >downwind< landing after a 4 way.
No one else in her group was able to stand it up (the wind reversed direction 40 seconds prior to landing), Did I mention she had to land, going downhill?
Yeah Laurie!

WTG Diva.
Landing DOWNHILL makes it easier the ground don't rise up to meet you as fast

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)
My Life ROCKS!
How's yours doing?

Oh so hot... tsssssssss!!!!!!!! Good job!

I have to ask though, do you not have a wind sock or any another applicable wind indicator at your DZ?

(Maybe a learning experince here! Always *EVERY* jump check your wind indicators for shifts in ground winds. I made 5 jumps on Saturday and EVERY jump was at least 45* different than the last one!)

Good job, DzDiva!!!!!
You have streak going...keep it on...

My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Thanks Grant. What a fun one it was, chickie 4 way...first float exit...that was cool! I was pleasantly surprised I was still on my feet when I landed. Thanks for the support and walking out to meet me.

Squeak: Thanks.
Chris:

JT: Bite me! Of course I thought the same thing.

Thanks again, Grant. You're a good friend.

I'll shead some light on the picture:
1) the wind had been going North all day
2) the wind can die instantly with all the buildings
3) rules state ALL jumps stick with main landing plan
the wind shift was seconds before LANDING and following the sock would have multiple landing direction for the same load.
