Tinkerbelle 5 #26 February 24, 2004 You know I was the very first jumper to ever skydive into the burning man, landed right by the man in the middle by TV crews and everything! Was with Truckee John. Tried to get Brenda and Dennis McGlynn to go the next year, but they were sceptical. Since then I hear it has really taken off for jumpers. It was cool to be flying under canopy over a bunch of people already tripped out on drugs! Had a blast! Took an aerobatic plane up and gave rides! Some kids wanted to hang out with us jumpers-they did a bunch of X stayed up for days then flipped over their dune buggy and got hurt. We took them to the hospital in the Twin Bonanza and kept the dune buggy-drove it all around making cool patterns with the rim of the one missing tire which we could see from the sky. I left it out on the playa and gave the keys to the kids from Empire to go fetch for their own. The next year they gave us free tickets and welcomed us like celebrities! Thems were the good 'ol days!
