FallinWoman 1 #1 October 24, 2001 Ok, I usually dream, fantasize, visualize, etc about skydiving. However, this week seems to be the worst yet. I guess it is because i had such a crazy weekend:1. Premature deployment2. Low opening (in the saddle below my decision altitude)3. I think I figured out how to land on my feet (6 out of 7, and the other one was because I was in the ditch)4. I KNOW i figured out how to best pack my Sabre 190- I am consistently getting almost 1000ft snivels and super-soft openings.What a weekend!!!!!! All that craziness, is it any wonder that I am still not sleeping well??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallingMarc 0 #3 October 24, 2001 Tell me about it... the Falling Illini regular jumpers usually have a happy hour wednesday nights... we decided to all go out tonight too, just to bitch about the fact that saturday is still four days off...And wow, 1000 foot snivels! I quit rolling the nose on my Triathlon, now it opens in about 400 feet, and I love it that way! I want to know there's something there when I pull...

FallinWoman 1 #4 October 24, 2001 Sabres are known for slamming people. I was getting fine openings, but they were killing my neck. I still know something is happening, it is sort of like a tandem- the middle three cells open and the outer six slowly trickle open. nice and soft!

Have fun.--Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingMarc 0 #6 October 24, 2001 Well, to be fair, at least one of us has to go every weekend to take first timers down, it's one of the responsibilities of being a club officer...And the past month, plus the next couple weeks, will leave me totally, completely, broke. But that's ok, because the winter is for saving skydiving money...Marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
