Slowfaller 0 #1 December 7, 2001 Yesterday ( Thursday ) I called in sick to work saying I had a sore throat. Then I took a shower and HEADED OFF TO THE DZ!!!!! I get there at about 11:15am and there is nobody at the DZ. The gear store is closed so I cant pick up my rig and the only people there are the 3 in manifest.I decide to kill time I'll go for a walk. This DZ is huge w/ trails that lead into the forest and then to the river so I start walking. I found out there is a rope tied to a big tree that can be used for swinging into the river on hot days so that was cool. Over all I walked around for about an hour and headed back to the hanger to see there is still nobody there and the gear store is still closedI decide to go into town and get some food just to kill some time. I drive to the nearest Wendy's and eat. Then head back to the DZ. Still nobody there. Shit, I don't wanna go home but I feel like an idiot sitting in the hanger by myself so I pop a video in and watch it on the big screen TV. Two videos later some people walk in and come to find out two of them are doing tandems!!!!! I'm going up, finally going to fly.Some fun jumpers came out of the trailer city to jump and I was asked if I wanted to do some sitflying w/ a 3 way tube exit. Hell yeah that sounds like some fun!!After take off I hear the pilot ask if we want some extra alt. Of course the whole plane cheers ( all 6 of us ) and he agrees to take us up to 17,500!!!! I couldn't belive we were going to be that high. We held the tube for about 40 seconds and then sat and flew around the sky.Remember there were two tandems? There was only one tandem master so we got two loads off, the second one we went to 17,000!!! I was so glad I didn't go home, never give up!. Have a good weekend everyone!

airann 1 #15 December 8, 2001 I have been to 17,500 ...It was my very first FLASH...I apprently never had a good reason before.? But xtra alt is a damn fine reason. It was interesting, expecially when I got up there and found out there was a observation rider, (some girl). Yeah, and she laughed cause you couldnt see much but cleaveage (sp?) behind the chest strap... so I had to do it over without the chest strap! A friend of mine, (Catfish) told me a way to prevent hypoxia. I dont know if I can describe this or not..... If you see whats happening in time..., take your tounge and push the roof of your mouth real hard while kinda holding your breath....(your face will get kinda red) ...he says it forces the blood to get outta your head er something... made sense that the time...
