DJatLarge 0 #3 March 6, 2004 Living and Skydiving in the northwest means you have to Jump when you can jump!!!! Something I learned recently. If you have the means to get to a DZ and jump......... why not??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sneaky 0 #6 March 6, 2004 Hey Wingnut Let me share this with you... I learnt to skydive 13 years ago at a DZ in the UK,this was a small club with 10-15 jumpers and used a 182 and the static line method.Due to the shitty weather,it took along time to get through the system...but once I qualified...I could do 3-5 jumps in a day...This club is now closed down.. Now since then I have been all over the world and jumped at the biggest boogies,competeted in National events and championships,attended rating courses,jumped everytype of big jumpship there is,had some great piss ups and have been known to sneak up a few Antennas at nite to jump them...but you know what ?..... The best days of my jumping career where back then at the small club `Blue Skies PC`squeezing into a 182,laughing and chatting all the way to 9K and shitting myself silly and then maybe...just maybe getting a 1 point skydive....landing in the field ,PLFing like a pro and then sweating my arse off trying to flat pack my pink 170 firelite. But what we all shared in those days together was great,and how we all became part of each other lives.... This is a moment I have never been able to relive or replace.... So where am I going with all this ?.... well... if you have friends at the DZ and are guranteed a good laugh then go... next weekend is too far in the future.. 400 miles is nothing to travel when you have a chance to be with your bros and get your knees in the breeze... Have a jump for me coz Im in snowy Quebec and wont jump until the 28th when I get to spain... JC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
