dkearns 0 #1 August 23, 2001 After four years off I finally got to jump again. How sweet it was. I went to Australia and did 25 jumps. The first five on student gear then the next 19 on my new Mirage and Safire. On my first jump I got to about 13k and got hypoxic as shit, started taking as big as breaths as a I could. We got to 14 and I couldn't wait to get out of the plane. Of course I was last out so every one went and I got in the door and READY SET GO. Sweet. It was every thing I remembered. I spent two weeks at Ramblers drop zone, it is one of the most enjoyable places I have ever been and can't wait to get back there. For every one on this site I thank you for you input and feed back. I live in Kuwait and am not able to demo gear like the rest of you but through reading the gear reviews and stories I bought a new Mirage and a Safire 189 (205 out the door). It was more fun than I can describe. I just wanted to thank all the Old Hand and Enthusiasts on the site that kept me going over the months and hope to see some of you in November when go to Charleston SC, Dallas TX, and near Panama City FL.
