My 100th jump

Recommended Posts

This is a picture of my friend, Pratt, and I both doing our 100th jump. We had a great jump at Desert Skydiving Center in Buckeye, AZ. Jon Freegard took the pictures for us and got some really good ones.

Yeah, Jon did a great job with the pictures. Will be out there at the crack of dawn. Need some altitude.
That is a pretty good looking suit, for a bananna...:)

Thanks Justin. I think you may have been up when the pie came out. We were on the mock-up when they got us.
I know someone got pictures, but I have not seen them yet.
I knew I was going to owe beer, so I brought a case with me.
Great fun!

TSK, TSK!

Should have been naked! :P


I figure I have a naked jump sometime in the future. Being an AZ native, I have grown to REALLY respect the destructive nature of the sun here. I have very little tan for someone who spends quite a bit of time in the sun riding my Harley, I practically bath in SPF 45 sunblock.
There are several parts of me I simply do not want to expose to the sun for that long. The UV index that day was up around 10.
Plenty of milestone jumps to come that will be good for naked jumps...

:S a naked jump actually involves about 5 minutes of being naked in the sun...

Yes, freefall at 120 or so in 110+ heat with seriously white skin for 5 minutes+.
Have at it.
I will wait for better conditions on a future jump.
I think there must be plenty of people that have never jumped naked. ;)
