100th jump

Recommended Posts

Laaaaaaadies and Gentlemen:
I am drinking coffe, I just ate a nice light toast. I am packing, cause in about an hour I am off to ZHills. 10 jumps away from 100. Plan to do the 100 tomorrow Sunset load. I have not been so excited since I graduated from college.
Send good vibes and come down for the BEER!

a) All our tandem masters are men. I appreciate them a lot, but NOT to that extent!
b) I drive. Period.
c) I can think of better ways of loosing the family jewels. The 100th jump will be made in my jumpsuit with a kevlar fabric reiforced butt. You have not seen my landings;)

My understanding is that x00 jumps are to be done 'sans jumpsuit.' Heh heh heh.

Wheeeeee! (pull) YEEOOWW!



I had my 300th a couple of weeks ago, and it was a working jump. That would have been hilarious though. It was a young woman who had her 21st birthday or something. I walk up buck-nekkid "HEY! Whoo-hooo! I'm JP and I'll be your camera flyer today! What's the occasion for your first jump?!:ph34r::ph34r:

it'll be good. i'm not sure how proper. proper kinda ruins the whole thing. will do my best to get documented proof of the whipped creaming.



I think she meant proper as in correct, as in full on, not proper as in Tea and Crumpets proper ;):)

You'll be surprised at how your accuracy improves when you wiener's in danger



This rings true in a good number of skydiving situations. My first standup was my first jump off radio, and I set up short and landed on the runway. When I realized I was going to land on the runway (at about 30 feet, because I had no idea how to tell where I was going to land when I was higher), I gathered my courage and did it right.

Second standup was a couple of jumps later, when a bad spot put the whole load of us into a freshly cut cotton field. As I flew over one of the other jumpers on the load and looked down at the four inch pungi sticks protruding from the ground, the other jumper yelled "Stand this one up!". Excellent advice, that I took.
