PalmettoTiger 1 #6 May 1, 2001 His thing about grinning right before he jumps is dead on! On my first jump, my video proves that I had a s#it-eating grin plastered on my face. The only reason I can come up with is that I knew I was getting video and I didn't want to have a pitiful look of fear for all the world to see. But I was definitely scared. I got so nervous that I nearly talked myself out of it at 7k but decided to go for it by the time we reached 10k. When we got to the door, I just froze. Part of me was very analytical and was saying "So where will I put my feet? I don't see any stairs." The other part of me was saying "There is NO F@CKING WAY I am leaving this aircraft." But I had told Jacko that I knew I would freeze in the door and he should just push me out. I remembered to thank him for that on the way down.

cyberskydive 0 #7 May 1, 2001 Yeah- all he kept saying after he landed to his friend (who had the observer ride) was , "I don't know how in the hell I'm gonna be able to write about this!"-LOLD.Chisolm C-28534webmaster@sunraydesigns.comhttp://www.sunraydesigns.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
