iluvtofly 0 #1 August 11, 2007 I just did my first night jump tonight. It was awesome. I can't stop smiling. It's like I did my first jump ever all over again. I was more nervous about this jump then my first jump. I can't wait to do it again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_Copland 0 #2 August 11, 2007 I backed out of a night jump because of winds and shit, was a good call in the end when it took a couple of hours to find people. Then i dont my first night jump as a BASE jump 1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit. Until morale improves, the beatings will continue.

gearless_chris 1 #3 August 11, 2007 My first 2 night jumps were on July 2nd, it was awesome looking down at fireworks for 150 miles in all directions."If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #4 August 11, 2007 It's a good feeling, isn't it? While it's not something I'll do all the time, it was fun to do and necessary to get out of the way for the D license. Happiness is nailing the tuffet two jumps in a row in the dark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icon134 0 #6 August 13, 2007 I love night jumps!!! I've done three... my solo, a 3-way (that turned about 12 points) and a 2-way (that turned several points as well and took off just after midnight with a beautiful full moon in the sky...) I agree it is a completely different feeling as jumping during the day... Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #8 August 13, 2007 I love night jumps especially opening high and hanging in deep brakes while enjoying the view. I did a naked night jump the other day with a short delay, aside from the naked hard opening it way awesome."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
