Deuce 1 #1 January 11, 2003 I think this is my best skydiving photograph so far. Skymonkeys only wear helmets if they're really, really cool. Find the Monkey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #5 January 11, 2003 Thank you, Obi-Quade-Kenobi There were 10 of us on the ramp. The six way you see, me, KatieBear, Mouth, and WMW999 on the step. So the folks you see diving had to charge down the plane from behind the red line. Probably more than a third of the jumpers were at 100 jumps or less, so as a group we did really good. Craig G. brought all of us up a couple notches too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #7 January 11, 2003 Yep, ya gotta keep the tail from having too many folks on it at one time. It get's REAL ugly if ya don't. However, the folks behind the line need to be running toward the door so that everyone gets out in the same zip code. Yep, takes some practice to get that timing right. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #8 January 11, 2003 I forget it is there and I know it isn't flattering but it is a necessary evil ....my next one is going to be a Z1 so I can hook it to my chest strap and then it will only be on my head for jumps. Better? Those were some FUN jumps. Thanks for taking such great shots! -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Deuce 1 #11 January 11, 2003 Yeah, I've got about a dozen video exits out of the Van now. I just love that thing. Coordinating that exit really takes finesse. I appreciate that big way stuff more and more as I learn more about it. Here's more; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #13 January 11, 2003 It happened after that formation shot. I ran out of film due to my overactive tongue . Lisa and Wendy closed their dock, KatieBear and her partner closed their dock, and the two floaters on the right closed. They hold it for a two count and Craig breaks it off. If the rule is that 12 get out and 12 dock, then it doesn't make that standard. I think we had 18 get out. It feels like a record though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #16 January 11, 2003 You think the Van is Fun.... try a Casa with either 12 or 16 on the ramp and the rest right next to it. 24 in front of the red line... Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig G. brought all of us up a couple notches too. just a tip.... people exiting behind the red line should start to move on ready and be right on top of the base as it leaves. it is safe to do so, and the divers have a much better chance of getting to the formation. also, the base out of a van tends to get flat quickly, so the divers have to be aware, other wise they go low.... Nice picture, though, and good timing with the camera on exit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, we were doing that but we had some people getting pushed down up front (hugs, you know who you are) and we didn't want anyone to get hurt.

Deuce 1 #24 January 11, 2003 Everybody in the pool's naked, pretty much. You want the real joy shot, you gotta be there Mujie, I originally put that picture together to show you what a PC 120 could do as far as debaucherous photos, but I got sidetracked. I do recommend the PC 120 for video and stills of nig-noggery. The built-in flash, obviously, comes in handy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
