Lolie 0 #1 October 20, 2002 Has anyone heard about how Bridge Day went? Hope everything went well! I want to go, but I won't let myself try it until I have 200 skydives or so... I'm gonna jump a TON next summer, but I don't know if it'll be that much. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

lewmonst 0 #3 October 20, 2002 the birdge rocked this year. thanks to go fast and a ton of people working very hard, everything went smoothly. there were only 2 injuries that required ambulance trips, both not serious. it was cold and cloudy but the weather didn't prevent jumping at all. It was a little windy on the top, but calm on the bottom. Jumping off the bus was awesome. I made two jumps, would have been more had I not come up about 4 feet short of dry ground on the first jump and spent too much time changing and repacking. We estimated that there were more jumps made than 2 years ago, definately less delays. THe packing area at the LZ was nice, not having spectator traffic on 82 (to the bottom) was nice, color coded jump times and plenty of knowledgeable volunteers doing geer check and briefings made the day close to perfect. Martini Shot Films did the video and it will be awesome with a 7-person crew catching multiple angles and interviews... And the editing will be professional, unlike years past. i love that bridge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cajones 0 #4 October 21, 2002 Bridge Day went extraordinarily smooth. Kudos to Go Fast! and the entire crew. The conditions were less than ideal, but good warnings and awareness from the crew and the experienced BASE jumpers produced a whole bunch of first jump success stories. The few that I got, including the water landing were so organized and stress-free, I'd call it a BASE symphony. Coordination at both launch points, safety crew above and below, the boat teams, and Parks Service supervisors kept the pace strong and steady. The footage gathered by the Martini Shot crew, along with Grant Carroll's editing should produce the best Bridge Day video, ever. Met some kewl new people, including some DZ.com folks. Had some sweet jumps. Had the best company a person could ask for. What could possibly be better??? The laws of physics are strictly enforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
