kallend 2,171 #1 October 7, 2003 Enjoyed meeting you guys over the weekend, and nice to see Lorie and Darryld again. Now, if only you had as much grass in the landing area as you have growing on the runway...... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

quade 4 #2 October 7, 2003 Ok, to be perfectly accurate, we do not have any grass on the runway -- those are weeds. Yeah, yeah, SDC -is- a beautiful DZ, no question, but dang it, Perris is my home! And let me again, sort of, apologize for how Gypsy treated you. She normally doesn't bite quite that hard and I'm sure that in time the bruises on your legs will heal and you'll forgive her. Honestly, Gypsy is far nicer than Poppa Victor on those accounts any day.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #3 October 7, 2003 Hey those weeds are feed by the ashes of the jumpers before us! Although I think Claude is doing a good job of watching over the damn Post office. At least that is where he was let go thanks to his request for our bad spot! Even in death he mocks us.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of room for me. Oh wait, I was on the Casa, that was our assigned landing areaMay your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

Clownburner 0 #5 October 7, 2003 It's been my (admittedly limited) experience that Gypsy is a lot more aggressive than Shark Air when it comes to biting skydivers, despite the fearsome name and visage that Shark Air has. Someone ought to slap her nose with a finger and tell her "No bite!" 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #6 October 7, 2003 John and I are -specifically- talking about the camera flyer's office on all these planes. All three are considerably different than what John is used to at SDC, Elsinore and Eloy and all three are different from each other as well, but you can get used to any of them given enough reps. John was rear, rear, rear float on Gypsy taking the camera flyer's position since there was none for that plane. The combination of the handle, step and apparently really faster than all get out jumpruns because of the Casa, caused him to bash himself on the rear of the door bruising the inside of his left leg -quite- badly. Camera flyers at Perris learn to deal with this over time.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My worst skydiving injury by far, and I hadn't even got into the plane yet!... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

flyangel2 2 #8 October 7, 2003 I hit my elbow twice on my exit from the Casa. Don't I get any kissing and rubs?

quade 4 #9 October 7, 2003 I thought you owned/traveled with that strap. Did you have the loft make it up on site? As for rubbing and kissing . . . uh . . . quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of gal do you think I am that I would travel with that kind of strap? I got the idea from Raoul since he used one. I had Larry make it, and since I paid for it, I took it. Afterall, it may come in handy for other things Really, I won't bite any harder than the shark.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.
