Stacy 0 #1 September 14, 2003 So the weekend looked beautiful. I was all psyched to camp out at the DZ and make a kajillion jumps. It'd been a financially crappy week with car things. Did 2 sweet jumps- 2 way drill dive with galen then a nice 8 way. met up with kramer and and angela and we took angela and galen up on a 4 way. the exit bombed and there were some fall rate issues, oh well, things happen. I watched angela and galen track (at 5K), tracked and dumped at about 3.5. Apparently my jedei was NOT in the mood to play. it kinda streamered, bounced around, and there were about 12 twists in the lines. It wasn't spinning violently, but the twists weren't going anywhere either when i tried kicking. loaded at 1.5, i opted to not play with it either! FIrst cutaway, saved both soft handles, no RSL, was in the saddle flying the reserve with handles stowed between 1200 and 1500 ish. My little PD 126 landed me nicely in the peas right near my freebag. my main landed hooked in a tree and was easily recovered. Thank You Nightjumper for a great reserve opening, and Kramer for spotting so my stuff landed right on the DZ! Beer was bought and drank quickly. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NightJumper 0 #5 September 14, 2003 QuoteThank You Nightjumper for a great reserve opening You mean when I pack those reserves, people actually use them? I didn't even know the darn things worked. All kidding aside, I am glad to hear everything went well. Today was a good day to be a rigger. It is a pretty awesome feeling to know that something you did saved someone.

jmpnkramer 0 #9 September 15, 2003 Nice Job there Stacy!!! It took me a sec to realize it was a cutaway. My first reaction was who is crazier than I? I pull at the basement ya know. I apologize for not giving a show and catching the FreeBag. At least everything landed in the main DZ Area. We will work on making a nicer jump nextime. Did you get the Mickey Mouse ears sewn down?
