Head Honcho rocks!!

Recommended Posts

Ok, so i'm sitting here in the internet cafe at Eloy. Sangiro has been here all week partying and jumping with us. He's been making fun of me for being such a post whore and commenting on how much money he's saving since i've been offline for 5 days. Well he just walked in and caught me post whoring. Hehe, i love that man.:)

Oh, and i think you had already left before i gave him one of my famous kiss passes in freefall.:)

I thought our kiss pass in Rantoul was something special. I see how it is...you're "One of those" girls....:D



Not only did Sunshine give the Head Honcho a kiss pass at Eloy, but she also gave me one the jump before. :P

Damn...so HH only rates sloppy seconds?



Well me and the Canuck did so many jumps together and he was nice enough to provide me with the "Kenny coat" so i had to do his first.:)

Damn. I jumped with Sunshine too, and didn't get a kiss pass! I even followed her down after her reserve ride. I feel so left out.
Of course, I freefly so lousy she probably couldn't catch me :S

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)

Where's THAT story???? Anyone....Bueller???



T'was a total mal. When you're zooming at terminal and the dytter flatlines and you aint got nothin out....well it's damn scary!! Anyhoo, it was not only my first reserve ride, but it was my reserve pack job. I owe myself a bottle of the good stuff.

She had a hardpull/no pull, infact once back in the riggers loft the rigger had a very hard time pulling the PC out of the BOC. She didn't pack it, an inexperienced packer packed it, although I think/hope he learned from the experience.

On a side note, I almost had a cutaway due to a packer in Eloy and would have had a PC in tow on another jump if I hadn't rechecked my gear from the packer who didn't cock my PC and misrouthed my bridle. Moral of the story, don't let random packers pack your shit, pack it your self or have a trusted packer who you know pack it.

Hard pull; 3 tries and then the dytter flatlined. Reason? Someone else packed the rig, using, obviously, a non-Sunshine-approved method of folding the pilot chute.

The language on the ground right after the jump was pretty blue...

Folks, hard pulls used to be women's special banes. More than a couple have gone in with hard pulls of one type or another.:( Because we all know we're not quite as good on upper body strength. So women sometimes keep trying. The dytter can help, but still, remember the job is to get something out high enough.

I hate to admit it, but it was indeed the dytter that saved me. I completely lost track of my altitude, hearing that flatline is what told me, "hey, it's time to save your life."

Admit it or not, the fact remains that you saved your life and I'm damn glad you did. Who else am I going to get great quotes from at the WFFC this year?

Look at it this way, I'm sure that's one mistake you'll never make again.

Glad you're still here.
