Slappie 9 #7 December 27, 2001 I usually wear a pair of Nike sandals kinda like Tevas. If it's cold or muddy ect.. I have a pair of old Nike tennis shoes I wear. Just depends on the weather and where I'm jumping. New DZ I wear the tennies till I know the landing area then I switch over to the sandals. I love the feeling of the wind on my feet!!!

lummy 4 #8 December 27, 2001 Okay Okay..... they JUST let me land with the big boys a few weeks ago. I was landing in the student area which is basically one of two fields (Whichever Farmer Joe isn't tilling that week). IT can be a little muddy at times...

airann 1 #13 December 27, 2001 I wear sandals. One tip on barefootin. I cut my foot open really bad on a sharp blade of grass. There is this crazy dude at the DZ who is forever mowing the grass. He just rides around on the lawnmower so much we call him Lawnmower Man. Ok, so I call him that at least. And its all his fault. http://www.AirAnn.comUgly Girl #6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #14 December 27, 2001 Quotesometime I wear my Birkenstocks...Duuude...I scared the hell out of myself one time with the Birks. I was practicing packing, and I walked over the lines, and dragged my foot a little, and a bunch of lines got caught immediately in the buckle on my Birks. A rigger saw it and he and I just looked at each other and he said, "Don't ever wear those to jump."I wear New Balance running shoes, usually...I'm getting some Tevas this summer so I can look cool.

indyz 1 #19 December 28, 2001 I wear a pair of red and grey Vans. The only pair of shoes I own. They came untied while I was on the step during my 5th jump.
