Cup and Saucer???

Recommended Posts

I made my 100th this past weekend, there was so much talk of what kind of jump to do - the last thing I remember was hearing something called a cup and saucer and then talks about what we were doing. Can someone explain what a C & S is so I know if that is what we actually attempted...thanks

C&S is were you build like a 3 or 4 way base with 3 or 4 stingers between the leg grips on the base. On a count everyone thats holding onto the base flips their feet under and they end up with their feet touching the arms of the base while still holding the legstraps or leg grippers. To do an inverted C&S you build the first C&S and then the base flips again and its an inside out C&S. C&S can get a nice fall rate to them if you build them right, if you don't get everyone in... they become funnels.

A cup is what you put your tea in.
And a saucer is where you place your tea spoon after stirring in your milk and or sugar. The saucer can also be used to "catch" any spilt tea and supp up later on.

Now do you know about Knives and Forks or would you like me to explain that as well??:)

Oh Denise. Yes that is what we attempted. It is just that those Free-Fliers forget how to flat fly for even a second when they try to do anything unususal.

There is a picture in one of the Parachutist issues. I am not sure what month. I believe it was March. I know it was not January. It is in the center page.

Anyway. I Hope to jump with you soon. Keep the Fourth open. A bunch of us are going to Raeford. I will try not to scare you next time. ;)

Hey Kramer.....Not sure of your plans but I am heading to Deland June 14th for the day. Just to try another FL DZ. I've been talking with a bunch of DZ.comers about Raeford so keep me posted if you are making a road trip - I might be game for that although it is awfully close to my Cross Keys trip (7/18). I just want to travel and skydive ALL OVER THE PLACE - you might be sorry you met me.....hee hee. Talk to you soon, D

Actually, it was January. 10-way during the Keys Boggie.
