ThighMan 5 #1 August 17, 2003 Well, I had my first reserve ride on Saturday. Yep already bought my beer. I dumped and got two line twists and it kept on turning (Sam 136) with me on my belly. Took one look, said "F*ck That" and chop and pop. The bad part was I threw the handles. I looked at it and the whole one side was flying fine but the other looked like a ball of SH*T. Thought it was a popped toggle but when I checked the canopy, both where still stowed. Ow well, I packed it.... Thanks to Dewy I have my Freebag. Thanks again and I still you him about 60 more beers. I called my rigger (Angela at Lake Wales) today and said "THANK YOU, and what bottle do you want?"....Airborne Blue Skies, No Wind Feet and Knees Together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThighMan 5 #7 August 18, 2003 I already got back up. I borrowed a rig from Michelle, put my main in it and jumped before I left the drop zone. :) Oh yea, get right back in the saddle. Thanks you all. Glad to know that the safety stuff really works.Airborne Blue Skies, No Wind Feet and Knees Together Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
