Did #1000! :)

Recommended Posts

Yup, did it on Sunday, as it turned out I was going to end up doing a tandem for #1000, so the DZO took the tandem to let me go play. Did a hybrid with RedAssSkyChick (my fiance), MFDammit and PLF, it was quite interesting, went mostly as planned, but funneled very funily. Everytime I would go into a stand, MFDammit and PLF could keep up and would get pulled along like a couple of streamers. This was the kind of dive I really enjoy, low pressure, friends and fun. Sure it didn't work out quite as it was planned, but we were talking about it and laughing about it for the rest of the day.

Not nekid, I have done a couple nakid jumps in my time, but decided to have the fallrate control on this one. Not only that, but I did find out before that hanging in a hybrid nekid hurts like a SOB!

Oh, I'd post a video of it, but my view, as the hanger, didn't come out real well, so you can't really see whats going on. And of course, we didn't have outside video...oh well, atleast the first person perspective of my swoop came out really well on video.B|:P

Yeah, got it setup this past week. PC-105 on an Optik with a Bonehead D-box. Its a real clean setup, I really like it.B|

Haven't gotten good video in the air yet (still breaking old habits so I have the video looking, instead of my eyes, etc), but I've got a couple killer swoops from the first hand perspective.;)B|

How nice of Todd to do the Tandem for you so you could make a real skydive. Too bad it didn't happen when I was there.

Congrats.
