flyangel2 2 #4 June 9, 2004 My first malfunction when I had less then 50 jumps, and I had some issues with my reserve. The DZO and a JM threw another rig on me as soon as I had calmed down and made me jump. They knew that if I didn't jump that day, I might never come back. Best thing they ever did.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laurel 0 #5 June 9, 2004 Had a horseshoe malfunction and a sniveling reserve on the same jump. I jumped 4 times afterwards and then gave up. 3 years later, I was over it and back in the sky......................................................................

Squeak 17 #7 June 9, 2004 Cutaway on jump 18. Had a couple of hours off and then asked an Instructor to come jump with me he did, I did a B Rel jump and all was fine again.Shortest possible ground time 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
