Dutchboy 0 #3 May 14, 2001 Yesterday was great, but not in the same way I expected.I was expecting to make my 100th, but alas I only made it to 99. The DZO's were going to hold the plane on the ground until everything was ready for my jump, but the guy who was organizing wanted to try the next load because there was a storm coming in. That load ended up being the last and a huge storm hit minutes after everyone landed. It could just as easily been before. Everybody left, so the day was over.So no, I didn't quite hit the big milestone. However, I did have some shit hot skydives. I took advantage of the FREE 4-way skills camp that Nemesis was doing. I learned alot and was also happy with my performance. Funny thing on the 1st dive we weren't keying the points, just going to the next when we saw the last grip. Well, when Doug did key one of the points (#9) I stupidly thought I had missed my dytter and he was telling us to break off. I turned and started tracking. Soon as I did I looked down at my altimeter and realized I was at 6k! Duh! Looked over my shoulder and everybody else had already started to track. Good thing we weren't competing since I just cost us all 3-4 points.Second jump with the Nemesis camp was cool. Not as many points since it was a little more complicated and also was a 6-way. On number 99 I jumped with a couple of my buddies from the office who haven't got their licenses yet. It wouldn't be safe for them to be on a big way (like my 100th) just yet, and I wanted to start learning to fly with them. Our 3-way went reasonably well. Under canopy they ended up having a collision! I didn't see the actually collision, but I saw the low guy land in the briars near the pond with 2 deflated end cells. He was fine, except for a few scratches (no jumpsuit). I was directly above him(200ft) on final when he landed.So it looks like the big 100 will have to wait until Memorial Day weekend. The next two weeks are gonna be hell.The Dutchboyhttp://www.geocities.com/ppolstra Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
