Stupid Human Tricks

Count for the weekend. 0:7:3 Yep it was one crazy weekend. I busted out 7 jumps so I could hit 100. All of them Free Fly except one tracking dive. I went low of course. 1. First 360 Hook. I surfed my PD 190 for 60 Ft or more. Don't really know but it was a long way. I'm still amazed I lived and I won't be doing anything near that stupid again anytime soon.
2. 100th jump
3. On my 100th I jumped a tube.(First) Had a great exit but started doing this funny looking spinning sit fly. The video is hilarious! About 3/4 of the way through the jump I figured out that I had to hold the tube in my burbble to keep stable. I had two of the 7 way flyin around me...... It was a blast and I didn't even lose the tube on deployment. Twas a good jump but a very long canopy ride openening that high. (5500)
All in all it was one kickass weekend and an excellent train up for the Free Flight Festival. We were discussing huge slabs of cow and vats of Red Bull and Vodka, Margaritas, and Hunch Punch to entertain the masses. It's gonna be crazy!

Yeah the 360 was just plain stupid. Won't do that again till have somewhere near 1000 jumps. It was actually closer to about 355. I had to come out just a couple degrees early. Man, never seen the ground coming up so fast. I'm sure that would have killed me had I pounded.
The tube jump on the other hand was no big deal really. Once I figured out that you just have to hold it in your burbble everything was cool. I only had the spinning problem when in a stand/sit right after I came off the hill. The exit was picture perfect. I went to pass it to my right hand and got stable all of a sudden when it was over my head. The light came on and I didn't have much of a problem after that. I was rock steady when I corked to deploy on my belly. I wouldn't have had any reservations about ditching the tube had I not been. The deployment was no problem at all. I watched the tube flail around the left side of my canopy so I pulled it out as far as I could reach and the tube immediately went behind the canopy as it fully inflated. It was a really cool jump! I want to do another tube jump! But.....that's why this post has the title it does. Don't try this shit at home kiddies. My balls tend to be much larger than my brain sometimes.....

At 100 jumps I still amaze myself how well I pull off things now and again. I'm sure by the time I hit 1000 there won't be guess work anymore. Just skill....

So why you call yourself "mouth" - I knew a girl called mouth once - she could do wonderful things with it when we were alone!!!

"So why you call yourself "mouth"
It came from a vocal talent. Not an oral one.
