Kelly 0 #1 December 21, 2001 hey guys. how is everyone?i just got home from eloy a few hours ago. The 5 weeks i spent out there were absolutely amazing. First things first, i ment chris (albatross) and got to know him a bit. a totally awesome guy. funny as hell, even if he did tease the hell out of me.i waited a bit for the ankle to heal, started jumping again 3 weeks ago. Took it slow at first, but started jumping more my last 2 weeks there, in between the friggin rain!!. I ended up only getting 17 jumps in. on sunday my first jump i decided to make a 'handle' dive. all i did was touch all my handles in order for the entire skydive. the next jump i did a 2 way belly jump, number 55. I planned to dump at 3,500. my friend tracked off about 10 feet next to me... He witnessed what was about to happen...i waved off at 4 grand. went for my hacky and couldnt get it out. two attempts and nothing at all. I immediately went for my reserve. It all happened in less than 1,000 feet. I had made the decision that if nothing comes out at all ill go for the silver. if i feel anything come out, cutaway then reserve.. It's an awesome feeling to see that i can follow my own emergency procedures, just like i have practiced time and time again. how ironic that the mal occured right after the handle dive? weird.i also downsized back to a 150. all but the first 2 of my landings, and my reserve ride, were all stand up beutiful landings. Ill be going down to the 135 within the next few jumps.my canopy skills have improved a lot. my sit fly is getting there, im more comfortable jumping with new people, and more people. this vacation didnt go exactly as planned, but i did accomplish and improve more than i ever would have imagined. thats about it from me. Oh yeah! the people at eloy are awesome. I've got myself a new family!~kelhttp://www.geocities.com/flynfroggie/skydiving_friends.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
