jumperconway 0 #1 January 20, 2003 OK, We got Chrystal's SCR today and I'm just curious as to how many of her "friends" here even know what it is! She will post pics later.BTW, it was jump # 31, I believe! Fun day! M A G O T S please responde! Conway 1144 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #2 January 20, 2003 What was the average number of jumps on the load? How many does she have? Did she earn it, or did you just play catch Chrystal? I guess I'm asking this since it seems the SCR has lost much of its original meaning. I still respect the SCS, but the SCR.....not nearly as much.It's your life, live it!

I guess I'm asking this since it seems the SCR has lost much of its original meaning. I still respect the SCS, but the SCR.....not nearly as much. She has like 30 jumps(none bigger than a 3way). The first attempt, she was coming in to dock very nicely when she reached down for the grip and flipped over through the star! This was a double SCR and SCS dive! It took a third attempt for the other SCR jumper, she made the second attempt! REAL SCR rules, freeflown exit, 2 point 8way. The SCS jumper was last in on the second and 3rd dive(only because she went low on the second, trying to bring her husband back up!) Real rules, no in the formation, drop grips and redock! Texas Rocks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #6 January 20, 2003 Whoop! Good going, god I love SCRs. Its too bad that the big DZs around the country, have lost this tradition. What kind of beer got poured?

Pammi 0 #11 January 20, 2003 Very cool! I got my SCR with Chicago down at Spaceland in November. Cold as shit even in Houston at night! Poor Gypsy! I had the honor of having Scotty Carbone do mine. :) Pammi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumperconway 0 #12 January 20, 2003 There's nothing like a Carbone SCR ceremony. We miss them but I would guess that Skydive America Palm beach has the most SCR's now. We used to do double any DZ in the country when they were here! Crystal didn't suffer too much. We got weathered out (clouds) so we did it before dark and it wasn't real cold. She's hooked now!

wmw999 2,587 #13 January 20, 2003 I'm not sure when this "face the Alamo" crap came in, but it's sure not from the distant past. As far as I'm concerned, you still face west because that's where the first 8-way was built. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
