LittleJumper 0 #5 November 11, 2001 Contrats to everyone!! Woohooo!! BTW: I'm glad you had a great tim in SF. It is pricey...in the touristy places. I might be out there in Houston in the near future...got a client that lives there. I'll let you know when, probably won't be for another 4 months.

AggieDave 6 #7 November 11, 2001 Not only did we break the record, but we had a hell of a weekend. Had 2, SCRs (Pammi and Hackey's), a 17 way, a couple 8 ways, some 5 ways...much much fun. We did some freeflying and some serious beer drinking. A ton of good stories and new friends. For everyone who missed it, you really missed out.

AggieDave 6 #8 November 11, 2001 Oh, and apparently according to some local Spaceland jumpers I am now known as "Cornfed Muthaf***er" And apparently I have a fall rate problem, either that or *everyone* else does and I'm right.AggieDave '02-------------Blue Skies and Gig'em Ags!BTHO t.u.

Zennie 0 #9 November 11, 2001 QuoteAnd apparently I have a fall rate problemI don't know about a problem per se, but you definitely have a fall rate! Dave & I were doing a 2-way sit jump. As soon as we broke off the train, I spent the rest of the dive trying to catch up in a full out stand that was reading 186 on my ProTrack! "Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.

ramon 0 #10 November 12, 2001 Wow, that is even fast for head down....and Zennie ain't no slouch either.Aggie, D Save your money and get a little baggier jump suit. Actually with a little practice you should be able to slow down a little more. Them big Galoot arms and legs you have will help give you a little more range and make up for your weight. .bloo skiesramonPS. if you are going to start freeflying get a really baggy suit .

ramon 0 #11 November 12, 2001 We had 11 people in the attempt (Pammi, Merrick and Zennie) which is probably a record (11 dz.comers in one skydive). and we had at least 15-16 dz.comers present on the DZ by sunset (Cyberskydive, AirAnn, and Tammi and I suspect one or two others......SLAPPIE!!! I beleive that was a worthy achievement considering that out of 11 people in the attempt 4 were very low timers and two were dedicated freeflyers (me and trey 'hookit').Zennie does not have an excuse..hahahaSlappie desreves credit for hosting all of this and organizing stuff and having people at his house and bringing wood for the fire ...and a whole lot of other stuff. After a few hundred freefly jumps, Slappie might actually be able to BS his way onto an RW jump and make it to his slot LOL!!!bloo skies everyoneramon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicagoskydiver 0 #12 November 12, 2001 This first dropzone.com gathering was the bomb!! I hope we can make it even bigger and better next year! It was quiet an experience to get my scr and a dropzone.com record in the same weekend - and the SCR was done on my 69th jump! How sweet is that? Skydive Spaceland is the greatest! If you've never been there, I highly recommend it! The jumps were great and the vibes were great! wooooohooooo! A special thanks to Slappie for organizing the event and letting me stay over at his place.Hackey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cloud9 0 #13 November 12, 2001 Congrats I'm really glad you were able to put it together! Sounds like you might even have had a couple of free flyers in there! . As Dave already said it was a great fun weekend. I really enjoyed meeting, jumping and drinking with everyone. Thanks to the Spaceland regulars, you made the rest of us feel right at home, All in all I rate it a 5 smile weekend.

I will certainly add the Dropzone.com records (and the history up to now) to the new pub page. Still re-thinking what the Pub should look like to make sure it doesn't become stale like the current version.Looking forward to seeing some pictures and a video...

Larry and everyone else, thanks for visiting our DZ. What a party. I loved pouring beer on you guys! I hope the load organizing and jumps were good. Hopefully everyone learned and went home with some good vibes and good feedback on skills you can work on at home. Most impressive was the freefly guys. They rocked on their bellies!
