Skycam3 0 #1 July 11, 2001 Hey, is anyone going to be jumping on the 20th? Maybe some of ya'll can "call in sick". I'll be wearing my camera and taking slides! Just a hint, you need to start "feeling sort of bad" around Wednesday afternoon, be worthless all day Thursday, and they won't miss you at all Friday. Hope to see most of you there....Blue Skies and Long Swoops,Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macaulay 0 #6 July 11, 2001 I think had six wisdom teeth pulled (about five jumps per tooth) while at my old job. You know how it is with wisdom teeth... out for days. The irony is that my wisdom teeth never came in, thus were never pulled. No one would actually check something like that.- Macaulay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #11 July 11, 2001 Sorry Eagle...I'm going to be gone too. I told him to give me the Genreal's number so I can call and tell him that we need an extra week. What is a week to the Army? They have lots of them and David is our only Col. so we are being deprived. He is competing in the GSL for the last time...glad he got a team together without me this time.

skymama 37 #21 July 12, 2001 Hey Mouth-Good luck on the dark side, I like RW, but it's a nice change of pace. I picked up sit-flying on my second try, so I thought I'd tell you how I did it. I exited doing a train (I think it's called that), in a sit position, and my friend put his feet under my armpits to get me stable. After I was stable, he let go and I stayed up the whole jump! Remember to keep your arms back behind you, and your knees to your tits. have fun!

mouth 0 #22 July 12, 2001 Thanks for the advice...can't wait to try it. Did you use a sit suit?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #23 July 12, 2001 They told me it'd be next to impossible for me to do it with my booties, so I ran into the student room and borrowed a big baggy suit from in there. Getting a free fly suit is next on my list of things to buy though!Hey, if you get the hang of sitting, try some 360's too, they're really fun. Just kind of move one of your elbows a little, just like in RW.Andrea"Up high, I feel like I'm alive for the very first time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #24 July 12, 2001 I have FF pants already. Can't wait to try it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchboy 0 #25 July 12, 2001 If you just have the pants then wear a baggie sweatshirt. The pants are just there to give you drag when you go head down. Actually, you might want to wear shorts or something tight so you don't have too much drag on your feet. It will make your life easier.Strange things is I did a sitfly in my skysurf suit just to try it out and it was weird for me because I was used to the drag on my feet. I was also going around 200mph and the guy chasing me head down had to work to keep up.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
