airann 1 #36 November 23, 2001 I have been thinking about this post ever since I read it. I had a (my usual) long ass post written and then my computer died, so it did not get posted. Arent some of you glad! Heh...Basicly this- & I am now certain of this. I would jump with you any damn day. This is the kind of thing I like to hear. (Well, not really but...)The way that you thought that out is awesome. You landed like your life depened on it. Way to go. I have done my share and everyone elses share of screw ups. I think I have the record at Spaceland for land offs.I think in this sport- the sharing information is a good thing. Others can gain useful insight into some of the choices I have made both good and bad. I think the best skydivers ARE those who actually can come back and tell another person - Man, I just did this and it wasnt good -but I handled it this way....The people I worry about are those not leveling with me or themselves about their abilites or thought proceses. We are all capable of errors. I can tell you that not all of my land offs have been pretty. I usually do alot of praying just over the church and land in my usual place - the field right beside it. There is a strech of wires I dont intend on landing in between the church, the road and the end of the runway. I have a terrible time with judging distance. I was too high for the field and too low for the runway. I carved low three times. Once to the right to get over the field, then to miss the trees at the end and then again to miss the trees on the side by the road. The last carve wasnt high enough to recover all the way from. I landed slightly downwind and I did a very nice face plant to the left of a fire ant bed. On top of that, my hand got stuck in the risers and my fingernails ripped the right side of my face open. So, my face was already covered in blood before I landed and I didnt know it. I just thought my risers hit me. Kat told me my face was slashed when she came and got me. I learn alot when I mess up. More than I do when I dont. I can share this useful info with other people and maybe they will pay attention a little more to their stuff.Skydive~Friends~HappinessAirAnnhttp://www.AirAnn.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,465 #40 November 26, 2001 great to hear that you wenty back up Skymedic. I broke three fingers on a reserve landing my 3rd time up ever. I made sure I went up a 4th time teh same day though, to make sure I would not get scared. Damn hurts flaring with broken fingers though, but made a ncie landing in the cornfield. Radio guy said it was a little payback for having to run after my main the time before.ONce again, happy to hear you went right back up.SkyDekker"We cannot do great things, only small things with great love" Mother Theresa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
