DZDIVA got high again!

Recommended Posts

Okay JT...you asked for it!!:P

Well it had been 3 months since I had jumped. Needless to say, with me being a low-timer I was a nervous wreck.:S Always have been! I have a long drive to the dz, so I have plenty of time to ponder about the jump I'm hoping to do. By the time I round the last corner to the airport, I pretty much feel like I'm gonna hurl!![:/]

Get there around 10 and it's not too busy. Cool! One of my favorite JM's takes his time and goes over my refresher. Bill knows how I get, but it's worse because it's been so long. He uses the hand signal for relax more on the ground than in the air!!:D We take our time and finally manifest around 2. I told him that if I had more time to think about it, I would land in the plane. We get geared up..now call! OMG!!

On the ride to altitude, he gives me a double wet willie!!:D Needless to say that relaxed me! Right before the door opens a strange smell starts wafting through the plane.:P Not sure what they had for lunch but it was nasty!:S DOOR!! Thank god...fresh air!:D

Fun jumpers get out...we crawl to the door. my buddy Harold decides to hang onto the door for a few seconds and make faces at me...finally lets go. I climb in the door..check in, prop, up, down, arch!! Awesome exit, I see the plane leave and Bill across the sky!! Woo Hoo!! I'm back!! We play around and I pull a little high because it's been so long. Sweet canopy ride down. I'm on final...I flare at the right moment, I bury the toggles...then all of a sudden..a thermal...back up I go and slam into the ground! Ouch! I make sure I have all my teeth and everything is still intact...I stand up and have the biggest smile on my face that I've had in long time!!

Twas a beautiful day, a beautiful skydive with an awesome friend.:)

I wanted WRITE proof of your 1st hand account of your jump.
its ok to be nervous and you know I will joke with you abou tit, but the idea is to look at the way you feel afterward;)
