suz 0 #1 February 3, 2003 I did my first solo on the weekend. What a experience...as you guys can see from the subject line....I landed in a tree...WHY? because when I pulled, my leg strap slipped and I was trying to wiggle it back....then I realised that I was way off course...I landed 200m from my target!!!! BWHAHAHA! After giggling and having the entire dropzone running to save me....I went straight back up in the air and landed 15m from target!!! What a champ I am!!!! WAAAA HOOOO!!!! Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dzdiva 7 #5 February 3, 2003 The way I look at it is all the bumps and bruises are worth it as long as I walk away smiling and say" I can't wait to do it again!" "It's not just a daydream if you choose to make it your life..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suz 0 #24 February 3, 2003 HA HA HA!!! I actually asked to dig up the tree, so I could take it home!!! It's funny, the tree is now slanted from the impact. At least I know which one it was...and if I ever have a bad jump, I know what to take it out on. Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
