PhreeZone 20 #29 September 22, 2003 1 Very clear violation of the beer line: 11 : 1 for said offence. Did 5 wingsuit jumps, 4 tandems, and 2 freeflys. Was on the first flights for 2 poeple. RDutch TOTALLY rocks for getting us some demo suits this weekend. Vallerina smoked my ass on a Wingsuit flight (Shes a natural it seems) Nice weekend and I stood up 3/4 tandems on 384's in no wind so I was happy on that one too. Broke the beer line by only like 50 feet so its all good Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
