Friday Beer Firsts

[HydroGuy 0]

1. 1st time jumping a nine cell. Been jumping Spectres...a Spectre 190 most recently. Started jumping a Pilot 188 yesterday. Was amazed at how much less toggle pressure was required on the Pilot in spite of the almost identical wing loading between the two canopies.

2. 1st time all my landings were in the grass.

3. 1st PLF. Flared early in a 19 knot wind, then the canopy popped up. Held the flare and fell at least ten feet...remember distinctly telling myself, "Don't try to stand this one up!" Had a nice PLF...bruises on right outside ankle, knee, hip and shoulder and a grass smear on my helmet to prove it...but nothing broken, torn, or pulled. Glad I was on the grass.

In retrospect, that PLF was the SINGLE smartest decision I have yet to make in my short skydiving career.

4. 1st time I used my helmet. See above PLF. After that, I will be a hard helmet jumper for life.

5. 1st time doing 8 full altitude jumps in a day.

6. 1st sit train exit.

I wanted to buy everyone beer, but ended up just splitting a pitcher with Alex and Chislom instead. Too bad more of you don't jump Perris on Fridays!

Get in - Get off - Get away....repeat as neccessary

If you're going to have to buy beer, you might as well make it count!
