canopycandy 0 #1 September 7, 2004 Over just six days: * I celebrated my 200th jump * I jumped from a helicopter, two different Otters and the incredible Mike Mullins King Air * I made jumps with some incredible skydivers * I partied like a rock star * I had two pilot chutes in tow (the first one I cut away; the next I punched and cursed and fought until it gave me a canopy). We think I might have a problem with my equipment. * Survived my first cutaway!!! * Made new friends and caught up with some old ones * And I didn't manage to sell my old reserve, but everyone said they liked my signs for it. How was the Boogie for you? ** Maggie ** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #5 September 7, 2004 Quote* And I didn't manage to sell my old reserve, but everyone said they liked my signs for it. That was you? Those signs were everywhere... Did I meet you? I was the jackass on the mike Saturday night at midnight trying to do Rodriguez initiations with no bumpy brothers around and applying tatoos both nights. I also jumped with Kramer and a friend of his on a hybrid as the hanger. I thought the jump had gone OK until I learned I racked my friend. Kramer flies pretty good on his belly with his legs crossed. Edited to add: I think I met you at the bonfire Sunday night. Were you wearing dangly earings with a blue stone and a clear stone? You said you rode Mullins plane like 6 times that day?

canopycandy 0 #6 September 7, 2004 Hmmm ... I don't remember anyone on the mike trying to do initiations (I'm already a bumpy brother -- #1090). But I was the loud, drunk jackass in the "I did Justin three times" T-shirt who was trying to tie everyone together with caution tape at the bonfire. It was my way of bringing everyone together.

My reserve ride was actually on my new PD143, which I just bought about three weeks ago. Now I'm totally in love with this reserve. Even though the opening was at terminal, I didn't get beaten up very much. It flew well, it landed perfectly and softly, and it's the most beautiful canopy I've ever seen. Though I'm sure the Dash-M would have been OK, I'm 100 percent thankful the PD was in my container when this happened. And I'm thankful for you and Jason, because you guys are the reason I have a PD right now ... and the reason my Dash-M is still for sale. We'll come back to Perris soon -- we loved it there! However, I think our next stop will be Skydive Spaceland. We met so many cool people from that DZ. (Actually, I'm just about to have lunch with Yoshi, who happens to be passing through Cincinnati.)
