My Teammates ROCK!

Recommended Posts

Can I just say how lucky I am?

The only one on here is FrikkenSkydiver, but she won't see this because she's either in training at the tunnel or lying around in pain.

You guys rock!

Know what they did? Somehow, someway, they managed to get us an hour of tunnel time the Saturday morning before Nationals (the 18th)!!!!!

Woohoo! Now our alternate can fly with the others (In case I decide not to jump), and I can get in there and see if I've got some weird uncontrollable spins going on because of my smaller leg.

Sorry for the random post, but I had to say it. My teammates ROCK!!!!

That is a quick way to get disqualified.

From:

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
MEETING,
July 11 - 13, 2003
Fredericksburg, Virginia

Quote

The Committee discussed whether competitors would be allowed to use the wind tunnel after the
draw. The Committee interpreted “1-1.6:B. Once an event begins, no competitor in that event
will be permitted training or fun jumps.” to include wind tunnel use. Based on this interpretation
the wind tunnel will not be permitted after the draw at the 2003 Nationals in Lake Wales. A
motion to add the word wind tunnel to the SCM will be happen at the next meeting.



The draw is done the night before at around sunset.

Just an FYI.

Actually, the draw this year is on Saturday night. Saturday is for practice jumps, registration and the like.

Weird, I know, but we double and triple checked.

Actually, it makes a lot of sense, so folks who want to work on Friday can still get there in time to register, etc.

LOL, I didn't know either, since in most previous years it's been on Friday night.

Hey! We're not cheaters!!! :P

I just have this mental picture of me hopping in the tunnel with my atrophied leg and spinning like a top, or a 2-jump student! Ack!!
